Rabalais Brings Quality Retail To Lovett Road

Commercial Development at Village at Magnolia Square

CENTRAL — Steve Rabalais unveiled his new retail and commercial development at the Village at Magnolia Square on Lovett Road last Thursday night.  The 6,300-square-foot development will be the home for five businesses:

• Rabalais Homes, LLC (Steve Rabalais)

• Bourg Insurance (Brennan Bourg)

• Edward Jones, money management and investments (Daniel Newman)

• B&K Mortgage (Ritha Milton)

• Wall Decor & More, home furnishings and drapes (Mia Townsend).

All of the businesses participated in the Open House, and more than 200 local business people and Village residents passed through.

At the event, there were lots of compliments for Rabalais and the new businesses which have located in his development.  Without question, the construction sets a high standard for retail and commercial developments in Central.

Rabalais said he will start construction later in the spring on Phase II of retail and commercial development.  It will include a town market with specialty meats, cheese, and fresh produce; a full restaurant; salon and spa, and two offices.  The offices could include a title company and a sales office for the Village at Magnolia Square.

The Village is a 185-acre, $170 million development, which will include residential and commercial.  The first 20 homes have already been built.  They range from $295,000 to $650,000.
