As Metrocenter mall prepares to start its redevelopment later this year, so do many of the properties near it.
A medical office building northwest of the former mall is being redeveloped into retail and two drive-thru restaurants — a Habit Burger Grill and a Café Zupas.
The 2.35-acre property is at the southeast corner of 33rd and Peoria avenues. A small medical building a few hundred feet to the east, just south of Starbucks, is also going through the zoning process to be changed into retail or commercial uses.
