Montgomery Village is looking 75 years young these days.
The venerable Santa Rosa shopping plaza this week announced plans for several enhancements to the open-air retail center at 911 Village Court—including renovation of its courtyard space, the installation of a covered passageway bridging its north and south ends, as well as the addition of multiple new tenants.
Joining longtime anchor tenants like Copperfield’s books and Sonoma Outfitters in 2025 are Bluemercury, a luxury beauty retailer, Face Foundrie, a facial bar, and Mendocino Farms, a fast-casual restaurant chain serving sandwiches and salads.
Montgomery Village, which opened in 1950, remains among the city’s primary shopping destinations. In addition to the openings announced for 2025, the mall’s 280,000 square feet of retail space has in the past two years also added Amour Vert, Mandarin Kitchen, Gorjana, Real Aesthetic Medicine & Skincare Science, Cupcake, an expanded Lululemon, Rust Boutique, Warby Parker, Shake Shack, Paper Source and Punch Clothing.
“The Village is leveraging its recent momentum to continue its efforts to refresh the property and bring desired retailers and restaurants to the destination,” mall officials said in an announcement of the enhancements. The Passage has already opened, while the new courtyard is expected to be completed later this year.
Kris Miller, general manager at Montgomery Village, described the renovations as “revitalized community gathering spaces.”
“Our goal is to create a go-to space for the community to gather, socialize and relax, so it’s been really inspiring to engage with our guests and learn about what they want most so that we can implement that into the development,” Miller said in the announcement.
Here’s how Montgomery Village described the property enhancements in the release:
- The Courtyard Renovation: Situated in the heart of Montgomery Village, The Courtyard serves as a community hub. Updates to The Courtyard revolve around a desire to create a refreshed space for people to gather. It features numerous seating options, a children’s play area, and a doggie relief area in addition to hardscape and landscape improvements. The Courtyard is home to popular events hosted by Montgomery Village, including the Fete De La Musique, Wellness Weekend, and Weekend Santa Sightings.
- The Passage Installation: Montgomery Village recently opened The Passage, a thoughtfully designed covered passageway that seamlessly connects the property’s north and south ends. The Passage increases accessibility while providing more public space and additional storefronts.
