Google CEO Buys Santa Barbara Market

A beloved Santa Barbara institution, Tri-County Produce, set to close in 2025, is being saved—and transformed—by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and his wife Wendy. They’re turning the historic spot into a four-story apartment building with a stunning ocean-view rooftop lounge, 47 resident parking spots, and plans to preserve the market’s operations with its own 45 parking spaces. Construction begins in 2027, aiming for completion in two years. It’s a bold mix of preservation and progress, with community approval already in place—watch this space as history meets housing.
