North Redding to see big change with new stores, hotels on Oasis
The Oasis Road corridor in north Redding is poised to get busier over the next several years. A second project in the area, this time a shopping center, received a green light from the Redding Planning Commission on Tuesday, Aug. 25. The vote was unanimous. Redding Oasis Center will feature shopping, hotels, restaurants, drive-through fast food and a gas station on 34 acres of property once fancied by Costco. The 99,275-square-foot commercial center is slated for Oasis and Twin View Boulevard east of Interstate 5. The shopping center is significantly smaller than the 152,000-square-foot Costco in south Redding, which opened in November 2022 after ditching plans a few years earlier to build on Oasis Road . Tuesday’s approval comes two weeks after the planning commission approved The Oasis, a 143-lot subdivision on nearly 50 acres off Oasis Road and just north of Gold Hills Club. Brian and Sandra Burk, who own the land The Oasis would sit on, will not build the homes, and they have listed the property for sale, with an asking price of $5 million . The shopping center first came before the commission on June 23 , but the panel delayed its decision to allow the
