DOWNEY, CA-A joint venture of Manarino Realty LLC and Industrial Realty Group are moving forward on a $170 million plan for a mixed-use redevelopment of the former NASA Apollo command and space shuttle factory property here. The 77-acre project has been dubbed Tierra Luna Marketplace.

The project will total 1.5 million square feet, and will include two big-box stores, a 14-screen movie theater, a 225-room hotel, restaurants and dozens of other retailers, as well as a 42,000-square-foot sports club. Also included will be up to 500,000 square feet of office, most of it for medical use, and a fire station.

“We have an opportunity to bring something truly significant to the city,” said Bob Manarino, president of the self-named firm, in a statement. “Our site benefits from its location near a sports park, the Columbia Memorial Space Center, and Kaiser Permanente Hospital. We’re going to tie all of those uses together by creating a central place for this community to be entertained, to shop and to come together.”
