Plans for a specialty retail center in the Tanasbourne area were originally announced in 1999. The original plan had construction beginning in June 2001 on the project that would have two parking garages. In all, these plans called for a $60 million project on to open in the summer of 2002. Hillsboro approved the project in 2000, but construction was delayed. Eventually developed by Continental Real Estate and designed by Field Paoli, The Streets of Tanasbourne cost $55 million to complete. This shopping complex was the last development in a larger Hillsboro project titled Tanasbourne Town Center. Originally The Streets of Tanasbourne were to be named the Shops of Tanasbourne. The Meier & Frank opened in early October 2004, while other stores finished construction later that month. The grand opening for the shopping complex was November 6, 2004. The 55-store complex is designed to resemble a standard Main Street style shopping district with open air, free-standing stores complete with parallel parking on the streets within the complex. When it opened it was the first of the lifestyle centers to open in the
Portland metropolitan area. In January 2025, Macy's announced that it would be closing its Streets of Tanasbourne store. By the end of March, the store had closed, and a real-estate developer had filed an application to tear down the building and replace it with a six-story apartment building with retail space on the ground floor. ==Details==
