The 90,000 square-foot Morningside Marketplace is ideally situated at a busy four-way signalized intersection with excellent signage and visibility on both Baseline and Cherry Avenues with a combined average daily traffic count of over 50,000 cars. The shop and pad space is 100% leased to a variety of food and service users including Chase Bank, Great Clips, Chevron, KFC, Pizza Hut, Baskin Robbins, Togo’s and Wienerschnitzel.

“Chuze Fitness is excited to join the center and they will be making a substantial investment to retrofit the space to accommodate the gym,” according to Paul Su. “The prime location, great visibility and strong demos were very attractive to Chuze making this a perfect choice for them to expand. It’s also excellent news for the shopping center having a new anchor tenant to help drive more traffic to the property,” Su added.
