by Amy Works
FULLERTON, CALIF. — Shopoff Realty Investments has sold the last remaining retail parcel at Sunrise Village, a 14-acre neighborhood shopping center located in the Orange County city of Fullerton, for $2.5 million. The recently sold property totals nearly half an acre and houses a veterinary clinic. The unused space at the parcel will be transformed into a fast-casual Korean restaurant. The remaining retail parcels at the property were previously sold to separate owners. The first parcel sale included a 1.4-acre corner retail space, which featured a drive-thru Del Taco and three adjacent retail pads. The other two retail parcels totaled roughly 1 acre apiece. Lennar Homes purchased The Pines at Fullerton, the 9.9-acre residential portion of Sunrise Village, in October 2023, with plans to build 113 homes. Construction is already underway on the site, with the first set of homes scheduled for delivery in 2026. Shopoff originally acquired the shopping center in 2021 for $26.5 million and secured approvals to redevelop the property into a mixed-use center with service-based tenants and housing options.
AUSTIN, TEXAS — The Del Webb active adult brand, long associated with Sun Belt markets, is gaining traction in the Midwest, says Ryan Marshall, president and CEO of Atlanta-based PulteGroup Inc. (NYSE: PHM), parent company of Del Webb. But unlike Sun City, Arizona — the pioneering planned retirement community developed by Del Webb starting in 1960 — today’s developments are much smaller in scale.

The 622-home community is spread across 325 acres, where residents age 55 and older can enjoy a variety of resort-style amenities designed to foster an active and social lifestyle. The centerpiece of the community is a 14,000-square-foot amenity center featuring indoor and outdoor pools, outdoor pickleball courts and a fitness center. Del Webb Hickory Greens also offers year-round social events, walking trails, over 170 acres of green space, a dog park and a community garden. “It’s one of our best-selling active adult Del Webb communities year to date,” says Marshall, noting that the Cleveland market is not traditionally known as a hotspot for retirees. “We’ve probably sold 110 homes [at Del Webb Hickory Greens] since February, which is …
