The first lease to be announced at the South Campus Plaza project at San Diego State University is one many in the community have been hoping for. Trader Joe's has announced that it will occupy a 10,200 square foot space in the mixed-use project along College Avenue near Lindo Paseo.

Trader Joe's, a unique, neighborhood grocery store with foods and beverages ranging from the everyday to the exotic, is scheduled to open in early 2017. Trader Joe's carries an extensive array of domestic and imported foods and beverages, but also offers customers the basics, like milk and eggs, at honest, low prices.

South Campus Plaza will include housing for more than 600 students, which is slated for completion in 2016. Retail outlets designed to serve both the campus and its surrounding neighborhoods, will create a pedestrian-friendly destination for shopping, dining and living.

Located immediately south of the SDSU Transit Center, between Hardy Avenue and Montezuma Road, South Campus Plaza will provide a dynamic gateway to the university, helping to create a sense of place, while also helping SDSU become a more residential campus.

The retail component of South Campus Plaza will also include restaurants and other retail shops. Negotiations with future tenants are ongoing.
