Litchfield Park retail, restaurant tenants ready for April move-in

After decades of planning, the long-envisioned Litchfield Square is beginning to take physical shape with walls now up on its first major building and an opening set for April.

The three-story structure, known as Heritage Place, is the first mixed-use project rising in the 26-acre downtown district designed to create a walkable city center. The 40,000-square-foot building will feature office, restaurant and retail space and is being developed by LP Heritage Partners.

The building’s frame and exterior walls are now visible, signaling a new phase for the project city leaders have anticipated for years.

“Litchfield Park is experiencing a period of exciting growth and transformation,” Planning Director Randy Proch said. “These projects reflect the city’s commitment to thoughtful growth while preserving our unique charm.”

Heritage Place is located at the northwest corner of La Loma Avenue and Village Parkway. It includes a 6,000-square-foot third-floor patio designed for a future restaurant, along with a separate ice cream shop. Most of the building has already been leased, though three ground-floor retail spaces remain available. Tenants are set to move in around April.

Real estate listings state that the rest of the tenant lineup is full, with a mix of local and national businesses planned. Second-floor tenants include H&B Builders, Edward Jones, State Farm, Fairway Dental and Maverick Lounge. First-floor tenants include Clubhouse Couture, The Collective MedSpa, Sixth & Horizon, Westerly Salon, Sonoran Rose and Park Littles.

Heritage Place is one of several projects moving forward in the district.
A second three-story mixed-use building has been approved on nearby lots, with construction drawings under review and work expected to begin before the end of 2025. Design work is also underway on another project that would combine ground-floor commercial space with residential condominiums above.

Rather than centering the development around a single retail anchor, city officials say Litchfield Square will be defined by its public park and gathering spaces. The city completed major infrastructure work for the entire district in February, including utilities, streets, lighting and landscaping.

Litchfield Square has been in the works since the city first envisioned a downtown district in 1994. As construction continues, officials say the goal remains balancing new development with the character that defines Litchfield Park.
