Business boom There are several businesses now open and coming soon at Parmer Ranch Marketplace, with space still available to lease.

The residential growth is accompanied by several new retail developments. Kimble said Heirloom will create a “commercial loop.” “It’s like, ‘Oh, we put more people out here; we can attract more retail, more commercial,’” Kimble said. “One feeds and leads to the next.” Site plans from Nolina show commercial opportunities integrated into the neighborhood, and the Parmer Ranch Marketplace is surrounded by neighborhood homes.
