Casa Bonita to open in Calexico, Calif.

Calexico, Calif. BH Properties said Tuesday it has signed retail tenant Casa Bonita to an 11,000-sq.-ft. lease at 102-104 Second Street in Calexico, Calif., immediately adjacent to the pedestrian crossing at the Mexico/USA border.

The houseware, gift and novelty merchant will move to the recently renovated property from the company’s previous Calexico location that was damaged in the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck the region earlier this spring. 

The new location for Casa Bonita has been owned by BH Properties since 2001.  Shortly after the initial acquisition of the asset, BH Properties embarked on a renovation and retrofit campaign for the center, which suffered little or no damage from the recent earthquake.
