The Town of Oro Valley issued is monthly economic development commercial project status report last week.

The 13-page report, which is really a 13-page table, lists 11 "tenants" as either identified or under construction. By location, business, and status, respectively, these are:
  •  Foothills Business Park                  Walker Dental Clinic               Identified 
  •  Mercardo                                        Fry's Fuel Station                     Identified
  •  Mountain View Plaza                     Fast Rhino                                Under Construction
  •  Oracle Crossing                              Southern AZ Urgent Care        Under Construction
  •  Oro Valley Marketplace                  Big Lots                                   Under Construction
  •  Oro Valley Marketplace                  Tuesday Morning                     Under Construction
  •  Oro Valley Retirement                    Gracious Springs Retirement   Under Construction
  •  Oracle Vista Centre                        Oro Valley Memory care          Under Construction
  •  Palisades                                         LA Fitness                               Identified
  •  San Jose Plaza                                Anam, Inc.                           Under Construction

  • The Shoppes at Oracle                    3 Building                            Under Construction
In addition, the report shows the new Quick Trip Convenience Store in Steam Pump Ranch as open for business.  It also lists the  Oro Valley Hotel & Suites as open, though, as we wrote yesterday, it is in foreclosure.

The report includes commercial properties that are not yet developed.

a couple more high end retailers coming to oro valley market place--
big lots and tuesday morning. With the current tenant list, no mid to high level retailer will be interested in a store here. maybe that was always true when walmart became the core tenant.
in any case, a good reminder that and uninvolved electorate gets what those in power desire

Chuck, you read my mind! As I looked over the list of new stores for OV Marketplace, I thought, "Oh, goody! Two more discount junk stores in Oro Valley mall."

I checked out Tuesday Morning when I first moved to Oro Valley. It was a junk store with a very messy appearance with items just tossed everywhere. I never went back.

Big Lots sells closeout and overstocked items. There's a reason that these items are overstocked. Nobody wants them!

We all remember how Vestar marketed this mall to us using words like "unique" and "signature shops."

I also remember a flyer that stated that we would get an Anywhere USA mall if Vestar was not the developer.

And what did we get from Vestar? An Anywhere USA mall with nothing but junk.....and more junk keeps coming. We should be able to sue them for fraud.
