The city of Glendale may soon see the development of a new and modern retail center near the growing Westgate Entertainment District.
The project is set to go up on a 7.4-acre site in a mostly residential part of town on the southwest corner of 75th Avenue and Glendale Avenue.
As proposed by the Scottsdale-based SimonCRE, the retail center would measure just under 43,000 square feet and would include five separate buildings.
Three of the structures will be just over 25,000 square feet; two will be anywhere from 2,000 to 5,258 square feet in size; and one will measure just under 7,500 square feet.
Of those structures, three will be built to allow for drive-through services.
According to city documents, the project will see space for “offices, retail, personal services, and financial institutions.”
The outside of the buildings is set to include a “variety of exterior finish materials with a condition that the materials and colors complement those of existing buildings.”
The project has now received a rezoning site approval from the Glendale Planning Commission and is on its way to the Glendale City Council for a hoped-for final approval.
If all goes as anticipated, work on the site could begin later this year, with a planned completion date of spring 2022.
SimonCRE is a commercial real estate developer and owner that has taken on commercial and retail projects across the country. The company has been particularly prolific in developing Dollar General sites.
