The City of Sunnyvale has only one redevelopment project, the 184-acre Central Core Revelopment Project Area. The goal of the project is to rebuild Downtown Sunnyvale as a traditional downtown, a vibrant pedestrian-friendly central place for shopping, working, living and entertainment. The current focus is on the large block bounded by Mathilda, Washington, Sunnyvale and Iowa Avenues, commonly known as the Town Center Mall.
