The LaRonde Center, Sun City’s largest shopping center and one of its oldest — whose most successful days are well behind it — is about to become a major community medical campus.
Work is scheduled to begin July 1 on a $15 million renovation of the center at Del Webb and Thunderbird boulevards to make way for the new tenants. Expected move-in dates have not been announced.
The updated center will be anchored by Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Care Center, which will relocate its clinic and ambulatory surgical center at 9425 W. Bell Road to a significantly larger building at LaRonde. The move will give Barnet Dulaney Perkins, a provider of advanced vision care and surgery, a total of 28,543 square feet — doubling the 14,000 square feet it occupies on Bell Road.
