Central Pacific Construction finishes Mission Oaks Annex renovation in Atascadero

Central Pacific Construction completed a major exterior and interior renovation at Mission Oaks Annex, an 80,000-square-foot shopping center in Atascadero. The project improved aging building elements, kept the property open during construction and prepared vacant retail space for a future tenant.

Why it matters: - Mission Oaks Annex is a prominent retail center on El Camino Real in Atascadero, so the renovation affects a high-visibility commercial property used by local shoppers. - The work updated aging building systems and finishes while keeping existing tenants open, limiting disruption to daily business. - The vacant former Big Lots space now has a cleaner, more functional shell for the next occupant.

What happened: - Central Pacific Construction completed a comprehensive exterior and interior improvement project at Mission Oaks Annex, an 80,000-square-foot shopping center in Atascadero. - The shopping center is anchored by Big 5 Sporting Goods, Grocery Outlet, Dollar Tree, Subway, T-Mobile and Wingstop. - The renovation refreshed the exterior and prepared interior spaces across the property.

The details: - The scope covered the entire shopping center and addressed aging stucco finishes, worn coatings and deteriorated decorative elements common to early California-influenced commercial buildings on the Central Coast. - Crews repaired and repainted the shopping center sign to improve visibility from El Camino Real. - Workers removed multiple layers of aging elastomeric paint from exterior walls, then repaired deteriorated stucco sections where needed. - The team installed new rafters where necessary and repainted exterior walls, walkway ceiling lids and exposed wood members and rafters. - The vacant former Big Lots interior was stripped of merchandise racks bolted in place, along with embedded anchor bolts. - Crews replaced ceiling tiles, repaired the existing fire sprinkler system and completed extensive drywall repairs. - Central Pacific Construction is based in Paso Robles and has served California’s Central Coast since 1997. - The company specializes in residential and commercial renovations, new construction, tenant improvements and restaurant construction. - The company’s office is at 440 Via Del Salinas, Paso Robles. - More information is available at buildcpconstruction.com, or by calling (805) 471-4749.

Between the lines: - Occupied commercial renovations require sequencing work around storefronts, traffic and tenant access, which increases planning demands and can extend the complexity of even straightforward exterior repairs. - The project reflects a broader maintenance cycle for older retail properties along the Central Coast, where visible exterior wear can affect curb appeal and tenant perception. - Frank Cueva, owner and operator of Central Pacific Construction, said the local tenants, customers and building owner were very happy with the final results.

What's next: - Mission Oaks Annex is positioned for continued retail use with updated exterior surfaces and a renovated vacant interior suite ready for a new tenant. - The property’s improved visibility and refreshed common areas could support leasing and long-term tenant retention. - Central Pacific Construction is likely to continue pursuing occupied commercial renovation and tenant-improvement work across the Central Coast.
