Developer Paul Hassan said in March 2024 that Village Crossing Center was designed as three buildings totaling almost 43,000 square feet of space at northeast Gate Parkway and Village Crossing Drive. The site is north of Ikea along Gate Parkway.
Hassan, manager of Village Crossing Center LLC, estimated the project as a $7 million investment.
Hassan also is president and CEO of Modern Aesthetic Centers, which provides cosmetic injections, body shaping wellness and facial rejuvenation.
He said he would open a Modern Aesthetic Centers in the 2,500-square-foot structure.
Hassan said there is a shortage of Class A medical space in the Gate Parkway area, “especially with all the new roofs coming to the area,” referring to residential growth.
He said the main building was designed for multiple tenants but a single tenant can lease it.
Village Crossing Center LLC paid $2 million for the property Jan. 24, 2024, in a purchase from S-15 Land Holdings LLC, which is the Hines group.
