LANCASTER : City Renews Push for Regional Mall
- Share via
Lancaster has renewed its campaign to establish a regional mall in the city, approving an agreement to negotiate for the coming six months with a firm that is a joint venture of two prominent developers.
The city’s Redevelopment Agency voted 5 to 0 Monday night to negotiate exclusively with Newport Beach-based Donahue Schriber, developer of the Glendale Galleria, and Riley/Pearlman Co. of Los Angeles, developer of the 750,000-square-foot Valley Central shopping center in Lancaster.
The site is on 100 acres of city land at the northwest corner of the Antelope Valley Freeway and Lancaster Boulevard, just north of the Valley Central center. Lancaster has been seeking to catch up since rival Palmdale lured the Antelope Valley’s first enclosed mall, which opened in late 1990.
