ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥

Land has been cleared for a 2,400-square-foot Pollo Loco restaurant in the shopping center on Irvington Road and Interstate 19.

A $326,000 building permit was issued for the shop being built by local contractor, Barker Contracting, at 4755 S. Landing Way.

Within the same shopping center, Barker is also building a large retail shell building that could accommodate one large retailer or multiple small ones, but no leases have yet been announced.

The Landing, a 58-acre site, is expected to have up to 600,000 square feet of retail space at build-out, which could come as soon as the end of 2020. It’s owned by local developer Bourn Cos. The site was previously owned by the city of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ and used by ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Water as a facilities yard then rezoned in 2016.

The city had a restriction on the property prohibiting retail development there until March 2017 as an incentive for developers to build out ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Spectrum across the street.
