Fiesta Mall in Mesa is set to be no more.
Demolition of the longtime mall is slated to begin Monday. Property owner Verde Investments Inc. is planning new development for the nearly 80-acre site near Southern Avenue and Alma School Road.
“For a long time, Fiesta Mall was a gem in the East Valley, which makes today bittersweet,” said David Leibowitz, a spokesman for Verde on this project. “Though it’s early in terms of what comes next, we know this much for certain: We cannot wait to envision and build a new gem for the Valley, a high-quality development that combines multifamily housing and a range of commercial options at one of the best locations in metro Phoenix.”
