Most of the stores are boarded up, and tenants are vacating. The developer, Sand Hill Properties, is hoping for a demolition permit for four of the six buildings before Thanksgiving. This will see the end of another era for Sunnyvale. First the Olson cherry orchard gave way to a shopping center and housing, now Town and Country will be developed into as many as 450 high density residential units and 52,500 square feet of retail space, if the city's 2003 plan for the six acre site is carried out. For a long time, historic Murphy Avenue and Town and Country Village were the only outdoor places for residents to shop and eat downtown.
Let's hope that Sand Hill Properties, which is also the developer of the new town center that replaces the mall, will make this an attractive and functional addition to the downtown.
