  • Riverside-San Bernardino, CA (1888PressRelease) July 24, 2008 - Marinita Development Co., a developer, builder and manager of retail, residential and industrial properties, announced that the company, in a joint venture with Regency Centers as the lead development partner, plans to commence construction on August 1, 2008 on Jefferson Square, a $24.3 million, 90,440 sq. ft. supermarket/drug anchored shopping center near Palm Springs, Calif. in the City of La Quinta.

    Located at the southwest corner of Jefferson Street and Fred Waring Drive, Jefferson Square will provide much needed retail services to the under-served, dense residential area including the affluent country club and single-family home communities, said J.

Jefferson Square currently has shop space and a 4,500 sq. ft. pad available for lease.
