AZALEA BLOSSOMS

Another opening in 2014 made plenty of headlines. Azalea Regional Shopping Center, opened in August by PrimeStor Development in South Gate, California, houses the new branded concept by Forever 21: F21 red, which offers an increased depth of product at a significantly lower price point. The Azalea store, which opened in May, was the brand’s debut; three other F21 red stores have since opened in New York and Minnesota.

Azalea Regional Shopping Center has plenty to shout about on its own. The 32-acre, Los Angeles County-area project grew out of a vacant site and delivers 400,000 sq. ft. of open-air shopping in a Latino-majority community.

Tenants include — besides F21 red — Walmart, PetCo, ULTA, Ross Dress for Less, Marshalls, In N Out, CVS, Skech-ers and more.
