Whole Foods Market is scheduled to open in West El Paso in late 2016 and will anchor an attached retail center called "La Villita." The center will include retail, restaurant, and office space at the corner of North Mesa Street and Pitt Street.

La Villita will include approximately 26,500 square feet of retail space, 6,900 square feet for restaurants, and 12,000 square feet for upper level office space.
The just over 45,000 square feet of total space at La Villita will be divided between structures on both sides of a curved drive leading to Whole Foods. The office space will be located on the second floor of the southern structure.

The new shopping center looks to have a mini-lifestyle-center feel, as the drive can be seen as a main street with shops on both sides. Renderings show a mix of materials and facade depth.
