stopped removing gravel from the site in the 1980s and began filling the property in order to prepare the land for development. Plans for shopping center in the Bridgeport area where Lake Oswego, Tualatin, Durham, and Tigard meet began in 1999. In 2001, Washington County sold the former Durham gravel pit to Opus Northwest and Center Oak Properties for $18.75 million. The 30 acres (121,405.8 m²) site was just west of Interstate 5
in both Tualatin and Tigard, and adjacent to Durham

Original plans called for a USD 163 million mixed use development with approximately 320000 square feet (29,729 m²) of retail space and 500000 square feet (46,451.5 m²) of office space. These plans also included residential space and a movie theater. Perkowitz + Ruth Architects helped design the village, which was designed without the traditional anchor department store
. In 2003, Lake Oswego threatened to derail the project over concerns of congestion affecting the neighboring city. The city and Washington County settled the matter in August 2003, with Lake Oswego receiving USD 300,000 to use for traffic improvement projects.
Before the center opened, the development was sold for around $170 million to BV CenterCal LLC. Opus Northwest was the general contractor of the USD 80 million project. Overall costs for the entire development totaled USD 250 million. In November 2004, the first store at the open-air lifestyle center, Crate & Barrel, opened. On May 19, 2005, the rest of the mall opened, with additional stores at the site opened in November 2005. Planned residential units were never built, nor was a planned underground parking structure.
In 2006, the architect won an International Council of Shopping Centers Design and Development Award. By 2007, the center had revenue of more than $600 per square-foot, which placed Bridgeport in the top five-percent of malls in the United States. At that time it was also bringing in nearly 4 million shoppers each year, leading to discussions of whether to designate the area as a town center under the regional government
's land use plan. In April 2008, the county settled legal claims against a contractor who filled the old rock quarry and prepared the site for the mall regarding methane gas leaking at the site for USD 1 million.
