Perris retail development gets underway

Construction is expected to begin next month on the initial part of a commercial and retail development in Perris.

The Commons at Perris, which broke ground Aug. 10, will first feature a Chevron station with a mini-mart and automated car wash, according to a statement on the city’s website.

The property, at the southeast corner of San Jacinto and Redlands avenues, is owned by the Lewis Group of Cos. in Upland.

The project will cover roughly 35,000 square feet and have 250 parking spaces. There is also plenty of space for future development.

Lewis Group has owned the property since 2004, but the recession of 2008 kept anything from being developed there.

Perris is a good place for commercial development because it’s business friendly and houses there are affordable, said Timothy Reeves, Lewis Group’s vice president of retail development.

“It’s been a bit of a long haul but we do not walk away from projects,” Reeves said in the statement. “We are very much pleased to be in Perris.”
