Site-work will begin tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th, on the ‘pad-site’ in front of 1800 Mile Hill Drive. I have instructed the site foreman to ensure construction vehicles and impacts are kept within close bounds of the pad itself. I do not anticipate disruptions in the main drive aisles of the parking lot (the only closure will be the drive aisle being relocated in front of the 7-Eleven).
I will be on-site tomorrow to assess the impacts and will try to minimize any unnecessary overflow or mess in the retail parking areas.
The result of the new 7-Eleven will be to add parking spaces to the site, there will therefore be no long-term adverse parking impacts to the shopping center. However, during construction there may be more (construction) vehicles around that usual.
Therefore: Please park all employee and owner vehicles in the back of the building. If you have ‘company vehicles’ with decals for advertising, please park ONLY ONE in front of the building for advertising and the remainder in the rear of the building.
Your cooperation and communication throughout the construction will be very appreciated.

Thank heaven for:
After months of negotiation and planning a new building for our ‘pad site’, we recently signed a lease with 7-Eleven for a 3,000SF building to be located in the overgrown gravel ‘yard’ part of our parking lot.
7-Eleven’s new stores are intended to be grocery stores, only smaller. There is no gas station and the store size and grocery offerings is/are likely to be larger than what you are used to from other 7-Eleven’s in the area.
7-Eleven is a high-quality nationally recognized brand and will feature high-quality locally recognized design to match Orchard Court’s unique architectural identity.
Most importantly for you, 7-Eleven is a driver of retail traffic. 7-Eleven will draw over 300 customers a day into our center- your front door. That is certain to drive greater sales volumes for all of Orchard Court’s existing and future businesses.
Please see the slightly modified site plan and the storefront designs below. We are still working to pin down a construction schedule, but do hope to start work on the new building this summer for a year end grand opening. All of the utilities were previously plumbed and routed to the ‘pad’; therefore the footprint of construction should be minimized (no boring holes through the rest of the parking lot, etc…).
In addition to 7-Eleven Dr. Tom Holt will be opening shop within 30 days or so. I am also working with a couple prospective tenants, coffee purveyors, for the end-cap drive-thru unit. With continued hopefulness and help, we may have the center filled with vibrant tenants by year’s end. Thank you all for your participation in this modern miracle!
Modified Site Layout: Parking adjustments and drive aisle changes.
Elevations: same materials- will be shorter than existing buildings.

You may have noticed recent activity in the former Jackson Hewitt space or seen Igor’s familiar and welcome face around the building. What’s going on?
We are pleased to announce the most recent addition to Orchard Court, Dr Tom Holt, who is relocating from all the way across the street.
Dr. Holt and His Family
Why is he going through all of that trouble?
Dr. Holt realizes the value of visibility. How many of you have seen his clinic across the street? Well now almost everyone in Port Orchard will see it naturally as they drive by the building and see the signage. This is a trend that has replayed itself over and over again with our tenants. I certainly hope that everyone is enjoying the benefits of their increased visibility.
And now you will enjoy the benefits of increased traffic to the center thanks to Dr. Holt.
Dr Holt comes to Orchard Court after a successful 15 year history across the street at Sinclair Chiropractic. Dr. Holt treats everything from auto and work comp. accidents, to families looking for wellness care. His services include full spinal rehabilitation for both chronic and acute conditions, massage therapy, and cold laser therapy. His new office will have the latest in cutting edge technology for diagnostic equipment including computer spinal scans and digital X-ray.
Please give Dr. Tom Holt a warm welcome to the property! Each tenant that brings and attracts their customer base are also bringing customers one step closer to your doorstep. Soon we will be full and I hope that all of the tenants reap the benefits of the vibrant retail center we envisioned.

Rules: provide the most compelling practical solution and win rent for your company and kudos from ALL your neighbors!
Q?: Provide a practical means of communicating fellow neighbors (principals and employees) names to all tenants in a low maintenance but usable and easily update-able format. The goal is to have neighbors know one another by name as well as face! I, for one, can be counted as the worst at this.
Bonus Question: Anyone who can send the above picture back to me with all tenants labeled by name gets kudos and rent credit, too!
