Plans to construct three buildings in the Green Valley Corporate Park in Fairfield advanced Thursday, with applications approved for two professional buildings and one retail building.

The buildings are part of a project that was approved by the planning commission in 2001. The project will result in about 2 million square feet of office and research and development space, located in the North Cordelia area between Green Valley Road and Suisun Valley Road in Fairfield.

There were no objections to the approval of the three buildings at Thursday's public hearing.

The Corporate Park will eventually include between 17 and 20 buildings.

It already houses a building for Copart Inc., and two hotels - a Homewood Suites and a Staybridge Suites - are scheduled to be completed next month. The Corporate Park will also feature business-related retail stores, such as copy and shipping stores, financial services, and insurance companies.

The next step in the process for developer Harvey Shein is to apply for building permits for the three buildings. Shein said he hoped to begin construction in the fall, and finish by the spring or summer of 2008.
