Vestar is moving forward with plans to develop Laveen Towne Center. The open-air shopping center will sit on a 90-acre site in the heart of Laveen, a rapidly growing community in southwest Phoenix. Set to break ground in the summer of 2026, with the grand opening targeted for winter 2027, Laveen Towne Center will bring a mix of shopping, dining and entertainment to Laveen.

The development will reuse existing materials and features found onsite, including from the Hudson Farmhouse, and informational plaques will inform visitors about the site and Laveen’s history.

Other center features include shaded storefronts, pedestrian walkways and major roadway improvements to Dobbins Road and 59th Avenue.

Laveen Towne Center is one of five ground-up projects that Vestar has brought to the Phoenix metro area since 2020. An additional 1.5 million square feet of new projects are in pre-development and set to be completed by 2031.
