JG Construction Building Specialty Retail Project in Newport Beach

NEWPORT BEACH, CA--(Marketwire -05/08/12)- JG Construction, a Chino, Calif.-based commercial/retail contracting firm, has begun demolition of existing structures and site preparation under a construction contract for Newport Place, a 12,351 square-foot retail center at 4221-4225 MacArthur Blvd.

The experienced contractor will build two single-story retail/commercial buildings, parking, landscaping and hardscape improvements. Designed by Stoutenborough Inc. Architects and Planners of Laguna Beach (www.stoutenboroughinc.com) with a California Modern style, the project is expected to be completed in late summer.

A project of Ridgeway Development, also of Newport Beach, the center is the first new retail space in the area in a number of years, according to developer and former Mayor Tod Ridgeway. It is expected to revitalize a previously underperforming stretch along MacArthur between Birch Street and Von Karman Avenue.

"We believe, as does the city, that this area needs a shot in the retail arm," said Ridgeway. "Along with access from MacArthur, Newport Place will offer a lively presence amid the predominantly office uses on this stretch."

Tenants that have signed leases are 7-11 and Capriotti's Deli. It is expected that the site will include a bank, another small restaurant and retail stores.
