Seritage Growth Properties has submitted preliminary materials to the Mesa Planning Department seeking to demolish the vacant Sears store at the Superstition Springs Center mall and build a 254-unit apartment complex in its place.
Seritage was created in 2015 to manage real estate that had been acquired from Sears Holdings. The Superstition Springs location closed in 2018 and has remained vacant, though the mall, itself, remains open.
The new development would be detached from the mall, but Seritage said in its materials it would maintain the mall’s circulation. The development is planned as a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units, but floor plans and a final unit count have not yet been determined.
The developer also has plans for a retail area on the west side of Superstition Spring Mall Circle across from the planned complex. (Source)
