Bunker Hill Retail Center was featured in the The Sachse News.
“A new planned development will bring several new dining options to Sachse in the next year.
Construction on Bunker Hill Retail Center began this week and a groundbreaking ceremony held last week included several members of council including Mayor Jeff Bickerstaff.
In the works for two years on 2.77 acres of land adjacent to The Station, the 27,000 square foot development with two buildings is scheduled to open in a year.
“Whenever we talk about retail or strip centers, we always see the regular brick and mortar and glass structure,” Principal Owner of ABM Developers Ankush Agrawal said. “The perception is all that fancy construction happens in Frisco or Dallas. Why would somebody come to the suburbs?”
But Agrawal has lived in Wylie since 2016. “The idea was to bring some modern architecture to this city,” Agrawal said. “The expectation is set after that. Suburbs deserve better architecture.”
The property has a 12-foot dip from one end to the other and sits in front of a road with an S-curve. But Agrawal says the design will be level, the buildings will also be “serpentine” and at an angel that will give every unit “an equal frontage on the road.”
Agrawal says the first building under construction is about 16,000 square feet and most of it is already leased out.
A coffee shop chain that specializes in Kona coffee, Badass Coffee of Hawaii, is onboard with one of the retail center’s two
drive-thru locations.
Bunker Hill Retail Center will also include Huckleberry’s, a rapidly expanding diner franchise. Known for “Southern cooking with a California twist,” Huckleberry’s serves breakfast and brunch.
Inchin’s Bamboo Garden, an Indo-Chinese restaurant franchise has also signed a lease along with a liquor store, Pelican Liquor.
There have also been talks with Einstein Bros. Bagels about a potential spot in the new retail center.
As far as local businesses, Agrawal says Bunker Hill will have a salon called SK Threading Salon.
Agrawal likes the idea of a pharmacy, a retailer of prescription eyewear and a pet store at Bunker Hill Retail Center.
“I envisioned this project as a gateway to Sachse and Wylie,” Agrawal said. “It will set a tone for the city. We are small and it feels more country here, but we are still modern in our approach and outlook.”
Agrawal’s next project will be developing another shopping center on Woodbridge Parkway across from Walmart.
Bunker Hill Retail Center will be located at 3105 and 3115 Bunker Hill Road.”
