May 14, 2008

Laveen Ranch Marketplace, a new 100,000-square-foot project by Evergreen Development Co. in the burgeoning Phoenix submarket of Laveen, prepares for new tenants as Safeway kicks off construction of a 55,000-square-foot store and work commences on a freestanding store adjacent to the supermarket for Fletcher Tire. Construction of the Safeway site is scheduled to reach completion in August, while Fletcher's digs will be ready for occupancy in August. Additionally, Evergreen has broken ground on a 15,000-square-foot shop space at the center, which already has a tenant roster that includes The UPS Store and others.
