Drawing on the site’s history as a sixty-year-old lumbermill, the Boxheart Commons name is derived from the term boxed heart which refers to the center core of a tree. Like a boxed heart, Boxheart Commons draws people from all corners of our thriving Healdsburg community together, extending the local culture with new opportunities to connect and engage with one another.
Set in Northern Healdsburg, Boxheart Commons is an extension of downtown, bringing amenities, public space, small business opportunities, retail, and high needs housing to the northern edge of our unique town. Since the project’s onset, the intention has been to enhance our incredibly special town at the intersection of some of the world’s best food, wine, family-friendly activity, art, retail, sports and nature. Our goal is to amplify these unique charms by giving Healdsburg another place to come together.
Street Access Retail
With ample parking and a retail promenade facing both street and pedestrian-only walkways, Boxheart Commons will offer 12,000 s.f. of curated mixed use retail including a deli style market and cafes.
Truly Mixed Use
Above the retail shops and cafes and along the promenade’s ground floor, high-needs housing units will provide Healdsburg with more available and affordable housing and live/work choices.
Pathway to The Grange
The interior pedestrian promenade culminates at The Grange, a multifunctional event space provided by the hotel which will be available for public use for events, classes and gatherings.
Connected to Nature and to Greater Healdsburg
Boxheart Commons can be reached by car, bicycle or foot and will be connected to the the Foss Creek Trail system and the walking trail that encircles The North Village. There will be community shuttle access to the heart of Downtown Healdsburg.
Whether you are walking from Parkland Farms , e-biking from the Plaza, or driving from the Bay Area, Boxheart Commons has a place for you.
