BRIEFS

SUNRISE MARKET The much-anticipated Sunrise Market officially opened its doors last month in Verrado, adding 35,000 square feet of retail and dining options. Highlights include Haymaker, W & Z Asian Bistro and Ropers Provisions steakhouse, along with Bosa Donuts and Thrive Swim & Ride Shop.

BUCKEYE COMMONS Buckeye Commons broke ground on its retail center at Verrado Way and Interstate 10, anchored by the Costco superstore that opened in 2023. The development will bring 410,000 square feet of retail space in the coming years, solidifying its role as a central hub for Buckeye’s growing population. “This vibrant shopping center is set to deliver the services, restaurants and retail options our residents deserve,” Mayor Eric Orsborn said. “When fully built out, Buckeye Commons will elevate this area into a premier destination in the West Valley.” San Diego- based Sunbelt Investment Holdings, the builder, also plans to build another plaza, Buckeye Commons West, on the other side of Verrado Way.

VERRADO MARKETPLACE November saw the groundbreaking of the $275 million Verrado Marketplace, set to be a game- changer for Buckeye.

Buckeye’s rapid growth spurred infra- structure improvements, including new traffic lanes, signals and drainage systems to support accessibility and safety at the Verrado Marketplace site. “This is the first of many projects that will keep our residents close to home for shopping, dining and entertainment,” Orsborn said. “The future is incredibly bright for Buckeye.”

night options nearby,” he said. “This is a game- changer.” He shared excitement about exploring the new Harkins BackLot and having a meal at Salt Tacos y Tequila, a local favorite based in Glendale. Tenants announced for the marketplace include Ross Dress for Less, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Bath & Body Works, Ulta, Zara, Einstein Bros, BJ’s, Shake Shack and See’s Candy.

In-N-Out Burger in November announced plans to open a location at Verrado Way and Roosevelt Street. Though the exact opening date hinges on development approvals, the beloved SoCal burger chain is expected to debut alongside Verrado Marketplace.
