The intent of the Sunrise Plaza mixed-use development is to  provide convenient retail and commercial opportunities to the residents nearby and within the immediate area, along with providing additional housing choices for the area. It is the desire of this mixed-use development to encourage interaction of the uses and design between the retail and residential components of the project by utilizing common architecture, landscape elements, and pedestrian linkage between the two areas. 
 
The homes and retail buildings are located within linear and clustered ‘module areas’ in the site’s framework and are accentuated with visually stimulating architectural themes, styles, and colors to create a diverse “mixed-residential environment.
