The Picerne Group, a commercial and real estate developer based out of San Juan Capistrano, has proposed to purchase part of the long abandoned center on the corner of Artesia and Bloomfield and build a five level-four story plus mezzanine- residential development with 198 luxury for-rent units built to condominium standards along with a fully screened parking structure. The development will be named Via Piazzo.
The proposal also includes the construction of a leasing area, clubhouse, fitness area, interior courtyard, recreation and pool area, landscaping, and related improvements.
Torrey N. Contreras, Director of Community Development for the City said of the project, “We have a good working relationship with Picerne, it is going to be a first class project. As Cerritos residents know, that site has been shuttered for many years we think that providing housing options presents a good opportunity for the city.”
City officials told LCCN that Picerne is in position to acquire the land from the bank
and as soon as they complete the purchase the development can begin.
The complex will take the western end of the parcel across the parking lot from the current Sam Ash store. The Hollywood Video, Mattress Gallery and Border’s Books buildings will all be demolished to make way for the development.
The condominiums will be rented at first with an option for the Picerne group to sell individual units if they so choose.
