Project Spotlight: Circe Properties

Three friends got together to develop their property as the downtown Artesia retail environment changed. One operated an automobile repair business on the site. Another had a glass shop on the property. The third had an accounting practice across the street. South Asian merchants began to start businesses in this area which led to higher rents and greater density.


We designed a three level mixed use center for the property which has three levels of parking at the rear. The first level is all retail, the second level has a restaurant with outside dining and retail, and the third level is offices. This beautiful center anchors the pedestrian oriented downtown. Many successful business now occupy the center at premium rents.


On April 8, 2013, the Artesia City Council honored Circe Properties with an award as the most attractive building in the city.
