Vestar, the largest privately held shopping center owner and manager in the western United States, celebrates significant milestones in the development of Vineyard Towne Center, its ground up project in Queen Creek. Several new tenants have officially opened, with more retail and service offerings set to join the open-air shopping center in the coming months. Spanning 260,000 square feet, Vineyard Towne Center is already home to a diverse mix of retail shops, services, and dining options, becoming a central hub for the growing Queen Creek community. Phase 2 of the development is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
“We’re excited about the strong tenant lineup we’ve secured at Vineyard Towne Center,” said Taylor Alvey, Vice President of Leasing at Vestar. “Our goal has always been to create a premiere shopping experience that would meet the needs of the expanding Queen Creek community, and we’re confident we’ve achieved that. With nearly 100% of the Vineyard Towne Center now leased, we’re confident that we are bringing a vibrant destination for both residents and visitors.”
As of January 2025, several new Phase 2 tenants—McDonald’s, Over Easy, Café Rio, Academy Bank, Cinnaholic, LifeQuest, and Cadence Running Company—have opened their doors and are ready to serve Queen Creek customers and its surrounding communities.
Construction is also underway on Phase 2- including anchor tenant, Target, which is slated to open in the fall 2025. Vestar plans to make additional announcements regarding its grand opening date this spring.
Several other exciting tenants are set to open soon, starting with Mountain America Credit Union in February and Better Buzz Coffee in March. Thai Chili 2 GO will follow this spring, with Ono Hawaiian BBQ, Zaxby’s, and Five Guys, all of which are also under construction, expected to open this summer. Mattress Firm, My Doc Now, Verizon, and Petco are slated to open in fall 2025.
As one of the fastest-growing suburban areas in the Phoenix metropolitan region, Queen Creek continues to thrive. Vineyard Towne Center is one of several ground-up developments Vestar has underway in Arizona, including Verrado Marketplace, Laveen Towne Center, The Shops at Lake Pleasant and more in the pipeline.
