A project that will see the construction of a modern new retail center in Glendale has taken an important step forward.
Members of the Glendale City Council have given their approval to a rezoning request for the project at the currently vacant 7.4-acre site on the southeast corner of Glendale Avenue and North 75th Avenue.
The rezoning will take the site from a general commercial to a planned area development designation.
As proposed by the Scottsdale-based SimonCRE, the site will see the construction of three separate buildings ranging in size from 2,000 to just over 5,300 square feet. A second building will measure 7,400 square feet.
The largest structure will be just over 25,000 square feet and will also include a loading dock and drive-thru lane.
Work on what is being called the 75th & Glendale Retail Center is expected to begin later this year with a possible mid-2022 completion date.
SimonCRE specializes in real estate development, spearheading commercial projects in some 22 states. The company has been particularly active in Arizona, developing Dollar General, Starbucks, and Chipotle outlets, among other projects.
