Goodyear Retail Center Adding Stores, Apartments

A Goodyear shopping center is adding new stores, restaurants, and an apartment complex. Things came to a halt during the 2008 recession, but the development is back on track. The center is now owned by Santa Cruz Seaside Company and managed by Vestar. Scottdale Development Partners is heading up the latest development of the project.

Canyon Trails Towne Center, at Cotton Lane and Yuma Road in Goodyear, was originally planned as a 90-acre retail power center. While it has not been built out, there is considerable activity. Two new anchor stores, Michaels and Five Below, recently opened at Canyon Trails, and Ulta and Burlington are under construction and planned to open at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. A half dozen restaurants have recently opened, with more on the way.

And the apartment complex? Embrey Partners bought about 13 acres of the site to develop a 284-unit apartment complex northwest of the shopping center, with move-ins later this year.
