La Cumbre Plaza Redevelopment

Macy's Site (3805 State Street) - The 8.7-acre Macy’s Site is located on the north end of La Cumbre Plaza. The City has received a Preliminary Application for redevelopment of the current Macy's site  with a mixed-use development named "The Neighborhood at State & Hope."  The proposed project involves demolition of the Macy’s building and associated parking and construction of a 642-unit mixed-use housing project under the AUD Program, and includes moderate and very-low affordable units, senior option units, market-rate units, and a variety of retail, dining, commercial and public spaces.

The project is currently in the Preliminary Application phase which includes design review consultation by the Architectural Board of Review and concept review by the Planning Commission.
