Queen Creek’s retail offerings have expanded with the completion of Vineyard Towne Center, a $100 million, 260,000-square-foot open-air complex at the northwest corner of Gantzel and Combs roads. Developed by Vestar, the project broke ground in 2021 and is now fully occupied, featuring a big-box anchor, a specialty grocery store, and a mix of quick-service restaurants, allowing locals to access Target, Sprouts, and several national and regional retailers in one location.
According to PR Newswire, Vestar confirmed that Vineyard Towne Center is complete and fully leased, with development costs around $100 million. The release notes that a 145,000-square-foot Target opened in October 2025 and that the entire project spans 260,000 square feet, with construction beginning in 2021. Vestar’s Jeffrey Axtell described the completion as an important milestone in the company’s ongoing commitment to the Queen Creek community.
Who's Open And What To Expect
The tenant mix at Vineyard Towne Center focuses on everyday shopping and quick-service dining. AZ Big Media reports that confirmed tenants include Sprouts Farmers Market, Mountain America Credit Union, Wingstop, Café Rio, Verizon, McDonald’s, and breakfast spot Over Easy. Target’s full-service store opened last fall, while smaller shops and restaurants have been opening throughout 2025 as they complete interiors and staffing. Site listings and local business directories provide current information on openings and hours.
Nearby Retail Wave
Vineyard Towne Center is part of a broader retail expansion in the area. A recent PR Newswire release highlighted Queen Creek Crossing, located about five miles away, which covers over 400,000 square feet and is also fully leased, featuring anchors such as Costco.
Developer Outlook
Vestar presents Vineyard Towne Center as part of a larger Phoenix-area strategy. According to project updates on Vestar, the company has millions of square feet in its development pipeline across the western United States. The developer anticipates that Vineyard Towne Center will attract consistent daytime traffic, support additional retail growth in nearby neighborhoods, and provide new jobs and services for Queen Creek residents.
