House demolished near new Sprouts Farmers Market project in Apple Valley
A vacant home has been demolished ahead of the construction of an Apple Valley Sprouts Farmers Market.
A heavy equipment operator on Wednesday quickly razed the 1,307-square-feet home, which was built nearly 60 years ago on Bear Valley Road.
As for a construction timeline for the new Sprouts, Town of Apple Valley spokeswoman Sarah Krieg told the Daily Press that town officials expect to have the grading plan approval next week.
Krieg added that she will inform the Daily Press of updates on the construction of the new shopping center that will include Sprouts Farmers Market and Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers.
Both businesses will be included in a 40,000-square-foot shopping center on the south side of Bear Valley Road, and directly across from El Pollo Loco in the Apple Valley Town Center.
The retail property, with two or three additional pads, is located adjacent to and east of a possible second development site, which includes the demolished home site.
The free-standing Sprouts in Apple Valley will be the second to be built in the High Desert.
