Marinita Development Co. is under construction on a new $42 million Vons & CVS/Pharmacy anchored center in Corona, CA. This will be the first supermarket and drug store to open in the Temescal Valley.
United States of America (Press Release) February 29, 2008 --
NEWPORT BEACH, CALIF. – Marinita Development Company, a developer, builder and manager of retail, residential and industrial properties, announced that the company is under construction on The Shops at Sycamore Creek, a $42 million, 94,000-square-foot supermarket/drug anchored shopping center fronting Interstate 15 freeway in Corona. This is the only approved shopping center in the area with both a full-service grocery and free-standing drug store. The 11.83-acre project is nearly 80 percent pre-leased and is expected to be completed in the fall, 2008.
Located at the southwest corner of Indian Truck Trail and Interstate 15, The Shops at Sycamore Creek offers retailers exceptional freeway visibility and accessibility and will be anchored by Vons “Lifestyle” supermarket, Vons’ Fuel Station and CVS/Pharmacy. Other tenants include Wells Fargo, Happy Nails & Spa, UPS Store, Fantastic Sams, Kelleher Cleaners, Subway and a dental office.
“There is probably not another drug store visible for 20 miles along the I-15 corridor and not another grocery store within 6.5 miles of The Shops at Sycamore Creek,” said J. Scott Fawcett, president of Marinita Development Co. “We are thrilled to be able to bring such outstanding retailers and services to this underserved market and greatly increase the quality of life of the residences in the Temescal Valley.”
The Shops at Sycamore Creek is located in the heart of the new master planned community of Sycamore Creek, a rapidly growing residential community that has nearly doubled in population since 2000 and is projected to double again within the next ten years. The new shopping center is also situated near other Temescal Canyon residential communities, which are expected to have approximately 15,000 homes upon build-out. The average household income within a five-mile radius of The Shops at Sycamore Creek is $93,417.
According to Fawcett, “The Shops at Sycamore Creek is prime real estate for any expansion-minded retailer that wants outstanding freeway visibility, convenient on/offramp access to I-15, great demographics, a growing population and impressive traffic counts of 127,000 cars per day passing by the site.” De Palma Road, a major signalized arterial that parallels the freeway, provides local residents with easy access to The Shops at Sycamore Creek.
The project will include a total of six buildings ranging in size from 4,000 to 48,000 square feet. Currently, there are some inline spaces remaining, ranging in size from 1,320 to 3,744 square feet.
The project architect for The Shops at Sycamore Creek is KKE Architects of Pasadena, Calif. The general contractor is RG Snyder Group, Inc. of Anaheim Hills, Calif. Grubb & Ellis in Newport Beach is leasing and marketing the center. Mark Baziak, Terrison Quinn and Jonathan Quinn are the leasing agents.
Newport Beach-based Buchanan Street Partners, a national real estate investment manager and advisor, structured and negotiated financing for 95 percent of the total project costs through a single capital source. Buchanan’s capital market knowledge played a significant role in Marinita’s ability to acquire the land in a highly competitive bidding process. “We were able to leverage one of our strong relationships to keep a viable capital solution in place throughout a period of turmoil in the capital markets,” said Tom Sherlock, senior managing director at Buchanan Street Partners. “Marinita’s regional retail development experience and local knowledge of developing in the Corona area made this project mutually beneficial to everyone involved.”
Marinita Development currently has eight projects in various planning stages with a total of three retail projects under construction in Southern California including The Shops at Sycamore Creek. Marinita’s other projects under construction are located in the Shadow Hills area of Indio and in Riverside’s Orangecrest area.
