The Streets of Brentwood

The Streets of Brentwood is an open-air lifestyle center in Brentwood, California, serving the East County area of Contra Costa County. The property combines shopping, dining, grocery, personal-care, entertainment, and community-oriented uses in a walkable outdoor retail setting. Its principal attractions include AMC Brentwood 14, a 14-screen cinema; Sprouts Farmers Market; Barnes & Noble; DSW; and Ulta Beauty. The center is positioned as a regional shopping and leisure destination rather than as a conventional enclosed mall, with a tenant mix intended to support both everyday errands and discretionary visits. The project was developed by dk Engineering and Continental Retail Development. Planning and development began in 2006, when the developers proposed a complex near Sand Creek Road. The initial phase covered approximately 313,000 square feet, while a further phase of roughly 100,000 square feet was contemplated, bringing the potential overall project to about 460,000 square feet. Construction began in July 2007, and the center opened officially on October 24, 2008. The original opening-period lineup included Rave Motion Pictures Brentwood 14, DSW, and REI. The timing coincided with the 2008 recession, which delayed REI's opening until February 2009. The cinema later changed hands when AMC Theatres acquired Rave Cinemas Brentwood 14, together with five other Rave theaters, in January 2013. REI subsequently closed in February 2014, leaving DSW as the last continuously operating original anchor identified in the available reference material. The center's tenant profile evolved over the following years. Sprouts Farmers Market opened in 2016, adding a natural and specialty-grocery component. Fairborne Properties acquired the property in 2018 for $85.75 million. Since 2024, CenterCal has been identified as the owner. In January 2025, Barnes & Noble opened in the former REI space after relocating from a previous site in nearby Antioch. This reuse illustrates the center's continuing adaptation of large-format retail space as tenant demand and shopping patterns change. The Streets of Brentwood's brand proposition is rooted in convenience, variety, and an outdoor lifestyle-center environment. Its movie theater, grocery store, bookstore, footwear retailer, and beauty retailer create a combination of destination and repeat-visit uses. The center primarily serves local and nearby suburban consumers in the United States; no evidence in the supplied material indicates international operations, a publicly traded corporate structure, or a separate global brand organization.

The Streets of Brentwood was developed as an open-air lifestyle center in Brentwood, California. The project was developed by dk Engineering and Continental Retail Development, with planning beginning in 2006. The proposed site was near Sand Creek Road, and the initial development budget was reported as $125 million. The first phase comprised approximately 313,000 square feet. A second phase of about 100,000 square feet was planned, which would have brought the broader complex to approximately 460,000 square feet if fully realized. Construction began in July 2007. The center officially opened on October 24, 2008. Its opening-period anchors and attractions included Rave Motion Pictures Brentwood 14, DSW, and REI. The launch took place during the 2008 recession, and REI did not open until February 2009. The cinema was subsequently transferred from Rave Cinemas to AMC Theatres. AMC's January 2013 purchase included Brentwood 14 and five other theaters acquired from Rave Cinemas. The venue is now identified as AMC Brentwood 14. The tenant mix changed as the property matured. REI closed in February 2014, while DSW continued as the last original anchor identified in the available reference material. Sprouts Farmers Market opened in 2016, adding a grocery anchor and increasing the center's ability to attract frequent local visits. The property changed ownership in 2018, when Fairborne Properties acquired it for $85.75 million. CenterCal has been identified as the owner since 2024. A major later change occurred in January 2025, when Barnes & Noble opened in the former REI space. The bookstore relocated from a previous location in nearby Antioch, giving the center another destination retailer and demonstrating the conversion of a former big-box space to a new use. The current anchor mix includes AMC Brentwood 14, Barnes & Noble, DSW, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Ulta Beauty. Together, these tenants give the center a blend of entertainment, grocery, books, footwear, and beauty categories. The Streets of Brentwood remains a local and regional retail destination rather than an international consumer-products brand. Its identity is tied to the physical property, its outdoor format, and its curated tenant mix. The available references do not establish a founding individual, a separate parent brand, a public listing, or a formal executive roster for the center itself.
