Villebois Village Center

You can find it at the village center.

Inspired by the intimacy and character of traditional European villages, Villebois’ bustling village center will form the geographic and social heart of the community.

Villebois’ village center will bring together the best elements of a complete community: condominiums, apartments, shops, green spaces, and parks.

The design will complement the diverse architecture of the residential neighborhoods, drawing from the best of European and northwest traditions. Individual building height will range from three to five stories in order to maintain the vision for the village center.

At the heart of the village center, there will be Piazza Villebois – an inviting plaza surrounded by residences, restaurants, shops and sidewalk cafes. The plaza is where residents can come to relax, enjoy the view of Mt. Hood, and listen to musical entertainment. Villebois’ village center will also be a location for popular events such as a local farmer’s market and seasonal festivals.

Villebois’ street grid and short blocks are designed to create opportunities for both immediate and long-term growth in small office, retail development, employment and changing residential trends

Parks, plazas, a variety of mature trees, and excellent views of the Cascades, Willamette Valley, and surrounding hills make this a premiere location.
