The City of Maricopa Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed plans for Southbridge Marketplace Phase 2 on October 27, 2025, bringing residents closer to new shopping and dining options at the northeast corner of W. Honeycutt Avenue and N. John Wayne Parkway. The application by Thompson Thrift, represented by John Barclay of Upward Architects, proposes three new buildings for retail and restaurants next to the upcoming Aldi grocery store.
What’s Planned For The Site
Three buildings are planned for the second phase of Southbridge Marketplace. Shops B, a 10,000-square-foot building west of Aldi, will have space for multiple retail stores. Two smaller buildings will sit closer to the Honeycutt Avenue and John Wayne Parkway intersection. One is a 6,500-square-foot building that can house retail shops and a drive-through restaurant. The other is a 3,200-square-foot standalone drive-through restaurant.
