32 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 8, ISSUE 6 Rico. According to González, “Right now, we have about one million square feet of retail and office space. But it’s more than that. It works as a complete mixed-use destination because it’s centrally located, surrounded by residential, and pedestrian accessible. Our focus is on developing more uses and stimulating growth within the 35 acres we have established as the San Patricio Village.” Diversification has always played an integral role in the success of the San Patricio Village. In the early 1990s, the Galería San Patricio – a 60,000-square-foot boutique shopping center – was added, creating ample space for stores like Sterling House, Kitchen Craft, and Marisol Freyre with an already-established clientele. In the 2000s, more than 220,000 square feet of office space were developed into what’s known today as the T-Mobile Center, connected to the Galería through the T-Mobile Center lobby for a more cohesive and fluid experience.
