The owners of the Regency Park shopping center at 93rd Street and Metcalf have proposed a $30 million redevelopment of the center and requested $6.5 million in public finance incentives to pay for reskinning the customer-facing portion of the building and constructing a new 5,000 pad building.
The proposed community improvement district would include the L-shaped building that currently houses Micro Center, Michael’s and Natural Grocers as well as the building in the parking lot that houses the new Billy Sims BBQ. It does not include the now-vacant Macaroni Grill building or the building that houses School of Rock. Here’s a map of the proposed district submitted by the developer:

The stretch of Metcalf from 97th Street to 89th Street is already seeing massive redevelopment, with LANE4 planning to bring a Lowe’s-anchored project to the former Metcalf South Mall site and Arbor Development, LLC, current working to create a mixed-use project between 89th and 91st called the Promontory.
