Summary, model-written
La Habra Fashion Square opened as a Bullock’s‑developed regional mall on a 40‑acre site and was later re‑developed into the open‑air strip mall known as La Habra Marketplace.
Why. The record does not state specific causes such as anchor loss, competition, debt, or demolition.
Where it stands. The site is currently operating as La Habra Marketplace, but the record does not identify the present owner or controlling entity.
For a planner
- Precedent: conversion of a Bullock’s‑anchored mall to a strip‑retail format.
- Policy tools: the record shows a redevelopment strategy targeting retail use.
- Open questions: current ownership, zoning designation, and any remaining entitlements for further development.
- Open questions: whether any infrastructure or environmental reviews were completed for the redevelopment.
For a developer
- Site size: 40 acres with approximately 565,618 sf of former retail space.
- Control: ownership not disclosed in the record; strategy indicates a redevelopment to retail.
- Entitlement stage: listed strategy is 'redevelop' and new use is 'retail', suggesting retail entitlements are in place.
- Market signals: opportunity score highlights the 40‑acre footprint and median rent of $2,352 as positive factors.
