Center Square Village nears completion; developer says commercial leases are filling and bond remains for outstanding items
Summary
Representatives for Center Square Village (Carrier Incorporated) told the zoning commission the multi‑phase development has high residential occupancy in Phase 1 and Phase 2 is leasing; the city holds a $202,000 bond for unfinished work while minor field changes (fence, dumpster enclosure, parking islands) were made and will be addressed before final bond release.
At the May 11 meeting the commission received an as‑built update on the Center Square Village development from Charlie Talmadge (S5) of Development Planning Solutions, representing Center Square Village LLC/Carrier Incorporated.
Talmadge said Phase 1 residential occupancy stands at about 51 of 52 units and Phase 2 about 40 of 52, with the commercial component largely leased and several businesses expected to open by July. He confirmed the city holds a $202,000 bond to secure unfinished items tied to temporary certificates of occupancy and said staff and the developer are coordinating inspections and the bond release process.
Talmadge explained several field‑driven refinements: substituting a fence for a previously proposed arborvitae row to mitigate noise from an adjacent drive‑through ordering station, adding a third dumpster enclosure after a commercial tenant opened, installing parking islands to separate commercial and residential parking, and swapping bollard‑mounted handicap signs for ground‑mounted signs with wheel stops for durability in winter operations.
Staff said they will continue inspections and return to the commission as bond release items are finalized. The commission acknowledged the work and thanked the development team for progress toward occupancy and commercial activation.
