Construction is underway at the corner of Antelope and Newport roads, in the hub of Menifee’s economic development corridor. The 150,000 square foot, high-traffic, power center is called Menifee Lakes Plaza and features a 10,000 square foot, two-level LA Fitness center with state-of-the-art workout and cardio equipment and an indoor pool.

In addition to health conscious restaurants, retail outlets and service amenities that cannot yet be named due to confidentiality agreements, the 16-acre center will include a 12-pump Chevron gas station with a 3,400 square foot convenience store, car wash and lube center. The new lifestyle center is expected to open early next year.

“Menifee is proud to attract so many new projects with quality tenants in our downtown core,” said Mayor Scott Mann. “Restaurants and high profile retail and service businesses are choosing to invest in Menifee because they recognize the potential here and see the community’s demand and regional pull.”

Situated along Newport Road, facing Interstate 215, this high-profile site is also zoned for a boutique hotel. With traffic counts along the I-215 around 85,000 average daily traffic (ADT), and more than 50,000 ADT along Newport Road, Menifee Lakes Plaza is considered a prime, location in Southwest Riverside County.

Even with great news like this, it is a very small bump in the larger $20 million budget defici projection- coupled with additional needs Menifee has for improved infrastructure, street maintenance and public safety.
