Antelope Square to Provide Community with Much Needed Food and Specialty Amenities
Continental East Development (CED) is a locally-based real estate development company that focuses on commercial and large residential properties. Today CED announced its future development plans for Antelope Square shopping center. On the border of Murrieta and Menifee, Antelope Square is an 84,000 square foot retail shopping center ideally located on the southeast corner of Scott Road and Antelope Road, providing excellent access and exposure to approximately 24,500 cars traveling through the area per day.
“Antelope Square is located just minutes away from surrounding residential communities as well as the new Loma Linda University Medical Center and Mount San Jacinto College. Every individual we spoke to has emphasized the need for diverse restaurants other than fast food establishments, and the lack of coffee shops, more importantly drive through coffee, in the area,” said Lydia Percia, Vice President and Co-Founder, Continental East Development. “It is apparent that working professionals and families alike are searching for a shopping center that offers more than what is currently available in the local neighborhood. Antelope Square will provide just that!”
Antelope Square first broke ground in 2007, at the height of the building boom, however the project was stalled in late 2008 when funds were not readily available to complete the shopping center and forced a delay in tenant occupancy. In late 2010, Antelope Square was acquired by CED and with new ownership comes a new vision. CED is excited for the much anticipated success of the shopping center.
Rising to the challenge within the community, CED is striving to provide new food services along with other desired amenities that will help boost business in the area instead of forcing locals to shop and dine elsewhere. CED has revised Antelope Square’s previous development plans and changed the large location that was once slated as a bank pad to a much needed drive thru coffee shop and café/bistro with outdoor seating. The result will be an ideal spot for business lunch meetings and weekend dining with the family or a casual night out.
New expansion plans have been submitted to the City of Murrieta. Subject to the City of Murrieta’s approval, ground breaking is projected to take place late summer 2011. CED is currently interviewing new tenants for Antelope Square which are envisioned to include:
-
- A Drive-Through Coffee Shop
- Bistro and Café with patio seating, soothing landscapes, and the ability to promote local entertainment
- Specialty Food Stores
- Designer Clothing Stores
- An Assortment of Restaurants of all Cuisines
- An Urgent Care Facility
- Dental Offices and Local General Practitioner Offices
