An Ohio-based developer has been quietly threading together a series of shopping centers and town-center projects across Washington, reshaping local retail without making much noise about it. What started years ago as a single Bainbridge Island land deal has gradually grown into a multi-city footprint that now stretches through Bonney Lake, Black Diamond, Mount Vernon and Pasco. The portfolio spans everything from Costco-anchored retail campuses to a town center inside the Ten Trails master-planned community and a large retail tract in the Tri-Cities, a spread that local officials and brokers say has altered key retail corridors in a methodical, step-by-step way.
As detailed by the Puget Sound Business Journal, Visconsi first entered Washington in 2010 and has steadily ramped up its activity in the state. The outlet reports that the company has developed more than 10 million square feet of retail and commercial space and now operates in roughly 17 states. Co-CEO Dominic Visconsi Jr. framed the strategy in simple terms, telling the paper, “We view this as a tremendous vote of confidence,” a remark that lines up neatly with the firm’s incremental, deal-by-deal growth pattern.
Ten Trails Town Center Becomes Black Diamond’s Retail Hub
In Black Diamond, Visconsi is building out a 14.5-acre town center that is set to function as the retail core of Ten Trails, a 2,200-acre master-planned community. Marketing materials show a first phase that includes restaurants, medical and dental offices, a KeyBank branch, a Chevron convenience site and an early-learning facility. Phase one is depicted as under construction in the company’s own documentation, according to Visconsi Companies.
Bonney Lake’s Mountain View Marketplace Fills In Next To Costco
Over in Bonney Lake, a two-building retail campus known as Mountain View Marketplace sits within sight of the city’s Costco and is listed at 20502 98th St. E. Broker notes from Kidder Mathews describe the property as fully leased, with tenants that have included Panera, Aspen Dental and Xfinity, and emphasize its position right next to the Costco site. Those same materials highlight that the development ties into new roadway improvements and a signalized intersection that help feed the surrounding retail cluster.
Riverbend Marketplace Targets West Pasco’s Growth
Farther east in Pasco, brokers are pitching Riverbend Marketplace as a 90-acre, shovel-ready, master-planned retail site at Broadmoor and Sandifur Parkway. The plan calls for a grocery anchor and multiple pad sites. Leasing notes describe Phase 1 as including a roughly 63,000-square-foot grocer and several outlots aimed at national chains, according to local market writeups from Kaysey & Co.. The site is being marketed as a way to capture West Pasco’s fast-growing trade area and to take advantage of planned infrastructure upgrades nearby.
Local Partnerships, Permits And A Public Paper Trail
Alongside the bricks and mortar, Visconsi points to a roster of Pacific Northwest community partners, listing Food Lifeline, Helpline House and the Bonney Lake Food Bank among the organizations it supports on the company’s community partner page. On the regulatory side, the firm appears in local permitting records as the applicant on Ten Trails filings, which shows its projects moving through standard city and state review channels. Documentation on the Washington State SEPA register identifies Visconsi as the applicant for Ten Trails site-plan reviews, a reminder that these deals run through the same public, project-by-project process used to vet other retail developments. Taken together, the community outreach and public filings paint a picture of a developer pairing national tenants with local engagement…
