Location: Southwest corner of Power and Elliot roads in Mesa
Description: A 14-acre commercial center bordering Mesa and Gilbert in the southeast Valley aims to bring a fitness center and dining options to the area.
The project, dubbed Avalon Ranch, has been under planning since 2022. Developers have submitted plans to bring an EOS Fitness Center, an Aldi grocery store, a McDonald’s, a 7/11 convenience store, a Taco Bell and a Valvoline.
“Given the surrounding commercial, retail and residential uses, these quick serve retail sites present a compatible land use that will provide a valuable service to the adjacent developments,” Avalon Development wrote in documents submitted to the city.
A tenant for the seventh lot at the property has yet to be announced.
History of the site: The project replaces undeveloped agricultural land. The area was previously cornfields and is now seeing development on all four corners of the intersection. The city rezoned the property to limited commercial in 2023.
A 10-acre commercial project dubbed Avalon Ranch is under construction in southeast Mesa along Power and Elliot roads. The announced tenants include EOS Fitness Center, Aldi and Taco Bell along with others.
When will the work be done? It was not immediately clear.
