Live Oak Village Shopping Center is a "from the ground up" speculative retail development built 5 miles south of the city of Douglasville. The retail spaces were designed with the exceptionally competitive marketplace in mind. The building is two floors with a secure storage facility on the lower level accessed from the rear of the property with store-front commercial rental space on the upper floor. The structure had to be visually arresting in order for the owner to attract tenants in the depressed economic environment during which it was constructed. The aesthetic has proven to be highly successful in that its retail space has filled faster than many comparable retail outlets of similar size throughout the region.
