New building planned for Sunset Mall

Concept drawing of the new buildings. Two restaurants and a retail shop are planned. Kimco says they have reached an agreement with two restaurant operators, but they haven’t shared the names.

In August, Washington County approved an application to replace the existing building that used to be the WanQ Restaurant and Lounge, and the adjacent buildings currently occupied by Bandito Taco and BobaLicious Café. Kimco Realty Corp. owns Sunset Mall at the northwest corner of Cornell and Murray. According to Kimco Director of Real Estate for Oregon, construction should begin within the next 30-45 days. Ahmad and Sahar Fardanesh, owners of Bandito Taco, expect to move into a space next to The Dollar Store for an expanded restaurant that will also serve Persian food.

Kimco Realty Corp. is a real estate investment trust (REIT) headquartered in New Hyde Park, N.Y., that is North America’s largest publicly traded owner and operator of open-air shopping centers. As of June 30, 2015, the company owned interests in 727 shopping centers comprising 107 million square feet of leasable space across 39 states, Puerto Rico, Canada and Chile.

It’s also unclear at this point how this will impact the Cedar Mill Farmers Market, which is held in the parking lot next to those buildings. We’ll update this article, or print something next month, when we find out!

In other Sunset Mall news, Bollywood Bites, an Indian food restaurant, has leased space next to Sherwin Williams. Their opening date is also unknown. The owner says they’re still awaiting all the county permits to complete remodeling and move in.
