Pretty soon customers in Southern California could be shopping where space shuttles were once built, if Bob Manarino gets his way. The president of Manarino Realty, LLC (exhibiting at the Mt. Rainier Suite with CBRE at the ICSC Western Division Conference) has secured a site in Downey, CA, about 12 miles southeast of Los Angeles, to build Tierra Luna Marketplace, a one-million-square-foot mixed-use development. Manarino Realty LLC and Industrial Realty Group are developer sponsors for Tierra Luna Marketplace on behalf of IRG PCCP Downey LLC. The site, as envisioned by the team, was formerly where NASA developed the Apollo Space Program and the Spaceshuttle Program. Manarino, who has developed shopping centers throughout the state, and  had a 10-year stint at Cousins Properties before starting his own firm a few years ago, envisions that Tierra Luna will have a wide mix of retailers and entertainment as well as a hotel and medical office space. He recently spoke with GlobeSt.com, with whom he is a Thought Leader throughout the month of September in conjunction with ICSC show Sept. 19-21.
