VICTORVILLE, CA-The Victorville Family Partnership of Costa Mesa plans to develop a new $80-million, 254,000-sf lifestyle shopping center adjacent to the Victor Valley Mall, according to KKE Architects Inc. of Minneapolis, which is designing the project.

The new development is located on 25 acres at the northwest corner of Bear Valley Road and Mall Boulevard. Mark Giles, senior associate with the Pasadena office of KKE, says the firm has been working with Gary Kanter, the developer who manages the Victorville Family Partnership, and the City of Victorville to design the center and to secure entitlements for the project. Victorville Pavilion is slated to be open by the first quarter of 2006. Moorefield Construction of Los Angeles is the general contractor. The development is one of a series of projects that KKE has landed recently, including two new class A office projects, a shopping center and a senior housing facility all in North Los Angeles County, according to KKE's managing principal Brian Arial in Pasadena. The office developments are the 100,000-sf Gateway Plaza being developed by North Hollywood-based Tourney Road Investors LLC in Valencia and Santa Clarita Properties' 41,530-sf Golden Valley Plaza in Santa Clarita. The shopping center, being developed by Hopkins Real Estate Group of Irvine, is a 60,000-sf neighborhood center in Santa Clarita that will be called Highridge Crossing. The seniors housing project is the 260-unit Centre Pointe Multifamily Housing in Santa Clarita, also a Spirit Properties project.

It will consist of two three-story, 50,000-sf buildings to be built by McCormick Construction Co. of Burbank, with construction expected to begin in January and to be completed in the fall of 2006. Golden Valley Plaza will be a two-story building four acres at the northwest corner of Carl Boyer Drive and Centre Pointe Parkway.
