The City of Corona is embarking on an ambitious project to revitalize the North Mall, aiming to transform it into a dynamic mixed-use development that will serve as a focal point for the community.
Project Overview
In January 2026, the Corona City Council approved an amended $1.48 million contract with SVA Architects to develop initial concepts for the North Mall’s redevelopment. The envisioned project includes a blend of retail, residential, and commercial spaces designed to create a thriving and vibrant environment for residents and visitors alike.
Community Impact
The redevelopment of the North Mall is expected to bring numerous benefits to the Corona community. By introducing new retail and dining options, the project aims to boost local economic activity and provide residents with more amenities. The inclusion of residential units will address housing needs, while commercial spaces are anticipated to attract businesses, fostering job creation and economic growth.
Next Steps
As the project progresses, the city is seeking an exemption from the Surplus Land Act to facilitate the development process. Community engagement will play a crucial role in shaping the final design and ensuring that the redevelopment aligns with the needs and aspirations of Corona’s residents.
The North Mall redevelopment represents a significant step forward in Corona’s ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of life for its community members through thoughtful urban planning and development.
