The redevelopment of Metrocenter in Phoenix, called the Village, is moving forward with plans for 140,000 square feet of new retail space as demolition of the 50-year-old mall begins. The $850 million project will feature affordable housing, retail, restaurants, and entertainment around a public park and plaza. The updated plan includes 1,100 to 1,940 residential units, focusing on high-density and for-sale housing options. Commercial space will range from 100,000 to 240,000 square feet, centered around a 3-acre park with amenities like an amphitheater and public art. The project integrates with a new light rail station, enhancing transit access. Construction on infrastructure and residential units is expected to begin as demolition wraps up.
