The latest mystery on Greenback Lane is not a crime story, it is a restaurant. A "coming soon" banner for a spot called Heights of Brazil has appeared at Greenback Square in Citrus Heights, hung over the storefront that once housed Wasabi House. For now, the sign is the only real clue: there has been no official word on who is behind the project, what will be on the menu, or when doors might actually open.
The banner and a photo of it were first reported by the Sacramento Business Journal, which pinned down the exact location and noted that leasing materials list nine vacancies at Greenback Square. That report included a photo credited to Melanie Nguyen that clearly shows the "coming soon" sign draped across the former Wasabi House facade.
What we know so far
Beyond that banner, solid public details about Heights of Brazil - from ownership and concept to menu style and target opening date - are still thin. City documents and meeting materials indicate the center has recently fielded proposals from would-be tenants and is dealing with multiple vacancies, according to the City of Citrus Heights.
What's next
So far there has been no public statement from the restaurant or from the property's leasing team about timing. The Sacramento Business Journal reported that it could not turn up further details at press time. For now, anyone curious will likely be watching for the usual breadcrumbs: permit filings, hiring notices, or a formal announcement that spells out when Heights of Brazil plans to open and what kind of Brazilian fare it will serve.
Why it matters
Greenback Square sits along a heavily trafficked stretch of Greenback Lane and has been hunting for anchors that can reliably draw customers. A Brazilian restaurant would add a different flavor to the center's dining lineup. For nearby residents, it could mean a livelier block on both weekdays and weekends, plus one fewer empty storefront staring back at them from the strip mall.
