Wermers Properties has partnered with Watermarke Properties to develop The Metro, a retail and residential center located in the heart of the revitalized Main Street Corridor just off Highway 91 in Corona, California. With a total of 868 apartment units and over 70,000 square feet of retail, the location will feature top retail and restaurant establishments.
“Combining retail, entertainment, and residential into a mix-use center provides a unique living experience for residents. These types of projects offer a consummate array of living spaces, amenities, retail, and mass transit services, making it a prime location for cosmopolitan living in Corona. The Metro will be key to revitalizing the growing community of Corona.” said Branden Wermers, Director of Development for Wermers Properties.
Demolition of the existing shopping center and grading has begun generating interest from some of the largest retail players in the market.
“The Metro is going to attract restaurant and retail tenants that wish to cater to this established, growing community which is undergoing revitalization in it’s vibrant downtown district,” said Steve Castellanos of Coldwell Banker Commercial-Sudweeks Group, the retail brokers for the project.
The property will offer three apartment complexes, with the first phase Artisan (404 units) completed in 2013. The second phase includes two apartment complexes with retail and restaurant establishments, and convenient access to the Metro Link.
In addition to its mix-use amenities onsite, The Metro will feature a contemporary design throughout the property. Residents can look forward to enjoying fine amenities such as state-of-the-art gym facilities, a dog park, WiFi lounges, and pool areas, as well as an expansive sky deck and roof top club room with impressive views.
