Retail space that once lay barren, a sign of a struggling economy in Mesa’s Fiesta District, will soon become a beacon of growth in the city’s effort to redefine the district as a nucleus of industry in the East Valley.
Centrica, a $20 million adaptive reuse office building, will act as a core project in the revitalization of the Fiesta District, a once vibrant and now growing center for commerce in Mesa. The location was once home to big-box retailers like Circuit City and Toys”R”Us before closing and being purchased by Phoenix Rising Investments last year.
