The introduction of Buckeye Commons, a visionary retail center initiated by Sunbelt Investment Holdings, Inc. (SIHI), is poised to revolutionize the shopping landscape for residents of Verrado and the broader West Valley. Anchored by the already popular Costco, this project, situated conveniently on Verrado Way just south of Interstate 10, is gearing up to offer over 410,000 square feet of diverse retail, dining, and service options right in the heart of one of Arizona’s fastest-growing regions.
Verrado residents, in particular, stand to benefit significantly from this development, as Buckeye Commons aims to provide a plethora of shopping opportunities within close proximity to their homes. The array of new retailers set to open their doors at Buckeye Commons includes notable names such as Over Easy, Starbucks, Jimmy John’s, The Joint Chiropractic, State Farm, and DIP Nail Bar. These establishments are part of a wave of leases already signed, with additional negotiations underway to fill approximately 60% of the retail center’s first phase.
Moreover, the potential addition of major retailers such as Home Depot and Dick’s Sporting Goods, currently under preliminary application and consideration, respectively, further underscores the ambitious scope of Buckeye Commons. These developments hint at a future where Verrado residents will have unparalleled access to a wide range of shopping options, from home improvement to sporting goods, just a stone’s throw from their doorsteps.
Buckeye Commons not only promises to meet the immediate needs of its community but also aims to establish itself as a destination spot in the West Valley, enhancing the area’s appeal and accessibility to quality retail and services. Mayor Eric Orsborn has expressed enthusiasm for the project, noting its potential to transform Buckeye into a premier destination in the West Valley.
The strategic location of Buckeye Commons, amid other significant developments such as medical campuses by Abrazo Medical Group and Banner Health, places it at the center of a burgeoning full-service city. Designed by Butler Design Group and constructed by CHASSE Building Team, the retail center is on track for its first store openings in mid-2025, marking a significant milestone in the region’s development.
With SIHI at the helm, known for its robust portfolio of retail and industrial developments across Southern California and Arizona, Buckeye Commons is set to become a key economic and social hub. This initiative reflects SIHI’s commitment to fostering community growth and providing high-quality retail spaces, making Verrado and the surrounding areas richer, more vibrant places to live, work, and shop.
