Fresh and organic: Whole Foods Market is coming to Eastvale!

Fresh and organic: Whole Foods Market is coming to Eastvale! Posted by Abby Ronquillo on Monday, June 29, 2026 at 1:22:17 PM Comment The retail boom in the City of Eastvale shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest addition to the community is guaranteed to excite local health enthusiasts and foodies alike. Whole Foods Market is officially making its way to Eastvale in April 2027, bringing its signature organic selection, premium grocery shopping, and beloved prepared foods venues directly to its rapidly growing community. For years, Eastvale residents looking for the highly specific Whole Foods experience had to make the trek out to established locations like Upland or down into Orange County. Now, the natural and organic grocer is planting roots right here, cementing Eastvale's status as one of the premier residential and retail hotspots in the modern Inland Empire. The Whole Foods experience: elevating the weekly grocery run. Whole Foods Market has earned a cult-like following across the country for redefining what a grocery store can be. Rather than just a place to cross items off a checklist, it is designed as a culinary destination. When the doors unlock at the new Eastvale location, residents can look forward to a thoughtfully curated layout focused entirely on quality, transparency, and wellness. What to expect inside the store: * Uncompromising Quality Standards: You can shop with absolute peace of mind. Whole Foods enforces strict ingredient quality standards, meaning everything on the shelves is completely free of hydrogenated fats, high-fructose corn syrup, and over 300 common artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors. * The Legendary Prepared Foods Hot Bar: Perfect for busy Eastvale families and local professionals looking for a quick lunch or dinner. The store will feature a massive hot bar, an extensive salad station, freshly rolled sushi, and gourmet pizza by the slice. * A Premium Specialty Department: From an exceptional global cheese selection to artisan chocolates, organic wines, and craft beers, the specialty section is designed to elevate your weekend charcuterie boards and dinner parties. * Full-Service Meat and Seafood: Fully stocked counters featuring high-quality meats raised without added hormones or antibiotics, alongside seafood sustainably caught or responsibly farmed. Strategic growth in the Inland Empire. The addition of Whole Foods Market is a massive testament to Eastvale's economic vitality. As one of the youngest and fastest-growing master-planned cities in Southern California, Eastvale has spent the last decade attracting top-tier housing developments, highly rated schools, and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Major retail nodes like the commercial corridors along Limonite and Archibald Avenues have quickly evolved into regional gathering points. Whole Foods joins an increasingly sophisticated local lineup of health-oriented and high-quality retailers - such as the nearby Sprouts Farmers Market - giving local residents unparalleled variety when it comes to healthy living. Prime perks for local shoppers. For the tech-forward population of Eastvale, the arrival of Whole Foods also brings the seamless integration of Amazon Prime benefits. Local shoppers who are Prime members can unlock exclusive weekly discounts all over the store, extra savings on seasonal produce, and the incredible convenience of simplified grocery delivery and pickup options right through the Amazon app. Whether you are looking to stock up on organic staple goods, grab a quick healthy meal on the run, or pick up specialty items for a gathering, the new storefront will make healthy living more accessible than ever for its neighborhood.

Realberry begins vertical construction on Avenue South, a 140-acre Centerra district in Loveland.

Realberry begins vertical construction on Avenue South, a 140-acre Centerra district in Loveland. By Naked Denver Staff | April 29, 2026 I-25 & U.S. Highway 34, Loveland Realberry began vertical construction on Avenue South, a 140-acre mixed-use district inside the Centerra master-planned community in Loveland, on Tuesday, moving the project from sitework into delivery of a walkable district at one of Northern Colorado's busiest interchanges. 1 / 2 images The Colorado-based developer, known as McWhinney until its January 2026 rebrand, marked the milestone with a groundbreaking ceremony alongside Loveland Mayor Patrick McFall, construction and retail partners, and investors. Avenue South sits at the southwest corner of Interstate 25 and U.S. Highway 34 and was approved by the City of Loveland in 2023. The project integrates retail and office space, dining, and thousands of residences into a walkable district adjacent to the existing Marketplace at Centerra. The retail core advancing first is planned to deliver 18 restaurants, 33 retailers, and the first Whole Foods in Loveland. A 3.2-acre park, event lawn, and amphitheater called The Front Porch will anchor the district and host concerts, seasonal events, and everyday programming. At full buildout, Avenue South is planned for approximately 2,000 residences - 475 single-family homes alongside roughly 1,250 apartments, condos, and townhomes, with vertical residential construction expected to begin in 2027. The district will also deliver 150,000 square feet of office space, anchored by a 140,000-square-foot corporate headquarters for general contractor Hensel Phelps, which is relocating from Greeley after maintaining its headquarters there since 1937. The City of Loveland approved a business assistance agreement with Hensel Phelps in May 2024 that the city projected would generate more than $100 million in general economic impact over 10 years. In a statement, Realberry Co-Founder and Principal Troy McWhinney called Avenue South "the next step" in the company's 25-year partnership with the City of Loveland, citing "time, partnership and persistence" to reach vertical construction. Avenue South is the latest large-scale move from Realberry, the firm formerly known as McWhinney that rebranded in January 2026 to lean into a sponsor-led investor platform while continuing to develop master-planned communities. As previously reported, the company is also behind Baseline, the 1,100-acre master plan at I-25 and Baseline Road in Broomfield, where it recently delivered Park Lane - Colorado's first take on the Dutch woonerf, a pedestrian-priority shared street. Centerra spans 3,000 acres and has been under development for 25 years. The community supports more than 8,500 jobs across 150 businesses and roughly 4,500 homes, and includes The Promenade Shops at Centerra, the Marketplace at Centerra, UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies, Chapungu Sculpture Park, and 483 acres of wetlands and open space managed by the High Plains Environmental Center. Centerra was designated Colorado's first Sustainable Landscape Community in 2022 and was named Development of the Year by the Colorado chapter of NAIOP. The combination of a Hensel Phelps headquarters relocation, Loveland's first Whole Foods, and a near-2,000-unit residential program positions Avenue South as one of the largest single mixed-use deliveries along the I-25 corridor in Northern Colorado this cycle. Its partners. Proudly supported by Denver's finest
