Eastvale– If you haven’t noticed the construction taking place all over Eastvale, then you must be living under a rock. City officials and residents alike agree that this growth is all part of building a strong, vibrant community.

Here is a list of just a few of the latest projects that are planned, under construction, and breaking ground.

 

BREAKING GROUND:
Chandler Fire Station No. 31

Eastvale broke ground on its second fire station Tuesday morning, Dec. 8. The 1.75-acre property located on the northeast corner of Chandler and Selby will serve the western portion of the city. The new building will also serve as the City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

With Eastvale’s housing and population boom, the new fire station will be a much needed resource, according to city officials.  The funds came from the city’s Fire Fund and will not impact the City’s General Fund.

The City’s Fire Fund will be able to fund the building, staffing and equipment at the new fire station, city officials said.

 

COMING SOON:

Panera Bread is the newest eatery that will be open for business soon at the Gateway South retail center. Panera will officially open its doors on December 15th just in time for the holiday hustle and bustle. It joins the 24-Hour Fitness, San Antonio Medical Plaza, Walgreens, Chevron and other quick-service options.

OPEN:

The William Lyons Homes (Nexus Residential Development) model homes are in the market for new residents. The neighborhood consisting of 220 townhomes and a recreation area on a 10-acre lot is located behind 24-hour Fitness Center in the Eastvale Gateway South retail center. Construction of the homes is currently underway.

 

UNDER CONSTRUCTION:

“The Lodge,” a KB Homes residential development, started construction of 205 detached family homes to the northwest corner of Limonite Avenue and Scholar Way. A second phase of this project is currently under review.

“The Trails,” a D.R. Horton residential development on the northwest corner of Archibald and 65^th is under construction. The development will feature 256 dwelling units with a 5-acre park.

“Estancia,” a Lennar residential development located on the south of Citrus Street, west of Scholar Way is also undergoing construction.

Construction of the commercial/industrial development Goodman Commerce Center located along Cantu-Galleano Ranch Road is in high gear. The approximately 205 acres site, its commercial section hopes to accommodate hotels, restaurants, entertainment, and services for the local community and commuters along the 15 freeway.

Landscaping is also underway for the K-Mart distribution center.

 

UNDER REVIEW:

City and resident input continues to pour in over the proposed Walmart store at Eastvale Crossings. Located on the southeast corner of Limonite and Archibald, Walmart is positioning itself on a 23.37 acre lot with a 177,000 sq. ft. retail store. There is no hearing yet set but the Environment Impact Report drafts are currently under public and agency review.

A proposed retail center is coming to fruition on the northeast corner of Limonite and Sumner known as The Eastvale Marketplace. The center will consist of a retail center and multi-tenant and single tenant buildings. Potential uses include grocery, banking, drug store, restaurants, general retail, service, and a tire store. The city’s planning commission is currently waiting for additional architecture and landscape submittals and an updated tentative map.

A new Verizon antenna is being proposed at 8306 Grapewin Street. Verizon looks to construct a new wireless telecommunication facility to be disguised as a 50 feet tall monopalm consisting of 12 antennas, one parabolic antenna, and other equipment. The city’s planning commission is currently reviewing the proposed antenna.
