History
Plans for a specialty retail center in the Tanasbourne area were originally announced in 1999.
The original plan had construction beginning in June 2001 on the project that would have two parking garages. In all, these plans called for a $60 million project on to open in the summer of 2002. Hillsboro approved the project in 2000, but construction was delayed.
Eventually developed by Continental Real Estate and designed by Field Paoli, The Streets of Tanasbourne cost $55 million to complete.
