In the 1980s, Fiesta Mall was a thriving shopping center. However, as more and more people began to shop online, malls across the country struggled. Now, demolition of the now-shuttered Fiesta Mall in Mesa is underway to make way for a mixed-use project that will combine multifamily housing with commercial options.
Verde Investments is leading this project through Mesa’s planning department and has hired Nelsen Partners as its designer; Nelsen previously worked on Paradise Valley Mall’s redevelopment. While specific plans have not yet been submitted to city officials for approval, Verde estimates that up to 4,000 apartments and homes could be built at this site along with various retail and commercial components.
