“After years of working on The Park’s transformation, seeing these diverse retail additions come to fruition is incredibly exciting,” said Shane Connell, executive vice president at The Connell Company. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome these new concepts to The District at The Park and expand the campus’ offerings. The mix of wellness, dining, and lifestyle brands reflects the momentum behind what we’re building, and each one brings something fresh, energetic and inviting to the neighborhood.”
