If you’ve driven by 83rd Avenue and Happy Valley Road, you might’ve wondered what’s going to be built on the massive fenced-off plot of land on the northeast corner.
The answer is The Trailhead, a huge mixed-use development in north Peoria.
State of play: The Peoria City Council last year OK’d the long-delayed 45-acre project.
- It’ll include market-rate apartments with 336 units, a Safeway with a gas station, restaurants, retail space and a church with a 15,000-square-foot worship space.
- It will include a “meandering corner pathway” that will draw in pedestrians from 83rd and Happy Valley, according to a report the developer, the Pederson Group, submitted to the city.
- Founder and chairman Jim Pederson tells Axios Phoenix there will be a meeting area modeled on the northeast corner of Uptown Plaza in central Phoenix and anchored by a family-friendly restaurant.
