DMB Associates, Verrado’s master developer, partnered with shopping center owner Vestar to create a retail center nearby. Verrado Marketplace will include more than 500,000 square feet of commercial space and will be designed to complement the community. The project will feature a grocery store as well as other uses such as apparel and home décor stores; a department store; a movie theater; and specialty shops, restaurants and services. The project will feature large public outdoor spaces that will serve as another gathering spot for the surrounding communities. Vestar is hosts hundreds of free community events each year at similar projects like Tempe Marketplace and Desert Ridge Marketplace. “Verrado is a truly special place,” said David Larcher, president and CEO of Vestar.

That’s the balancing act we have to do — serve the residents of Verrado, but also serve the greater community as a whole.” The marketplace will be developed at the northeast corner of Verrado Way and I-10. It is expected to break ground in mid-2023 following necessary approvals from the city. Subscriptions are $26 for 2 years, $14 for one year. Periodicals postage paid at Phoenix, AZ 85026.
