Fronting Highway 65, Shea Center Roseville is planned as a 36.5-acre campus-style workplace of two- and three-story buildings ranging in size from 50,000 sf to 90,000 sf. The first phase of development will be a two-story, 55,000-sf building slated for shell completion at the end of 2003. The timing of successive phases will move forward based on market demand.

Shea Properties SVP of Northern California operations Bob Burke says a lack of available office space relative to demand and an increasingly tightening land supply are driving office development in the city's market. Burke adds that Shea Center Roseville is the only project in the area's current development pipeline that is capable of accommodating a large corporate space user requiring more than 100,000 sf. Moreover, Burke says that since it is being developed in multiple phases it offers firms an expansion opportunity as they grow and need more space.

As the acreage is built out, onsite amenities will include a conference facility, an exercise room with showers, outside perimeter walking paths and outdoor gathering areas for dining or small meetings. RMW Architecture is the architect for Shea Center Roseville. L.E. Wentz Co. is the general contractor. The leasing assignment is in the hands of CB Richard Ellis SVP Kevin Sheehan and brokers Bill Swettenham and Bryan McKrell.
