DBN Development Plans $20M, 125,000-SF Center

SAN JACINTO, CA-DBN Development, a newly formed company based in Laguna Hills, plans a $20 million, 125,000-sf community shopping center that will be the first phase of San Jacinto Esplanade. The project is the first for DBN, which was formed by Steven Delson, a 30-year industry veteran who spent many years as EVP at the Mission Viejo Company.

The project will be anchored by a 45,000-sf supermarket and will include a Walgreens with drive-through pharmacy service, a dental/professional building, retail shops, a gas station, restaurants and quick-service restaurants. Delson notes that the new center, which is planned to ultimately span both sides of Sanderson Avenue on the north side of Esplanade Avenue, is in the heart of ongoing residential development on San Jacinto’s west side.

The center’s location is on the San Jacinto and Hemet boundary andwill serve residents of both cities. It is about a half mile from two new schools now under construction, Taquitz High School and Rancho Viejo Middle School, which will total 4,000 students.
