Victoria Gardens (shopping center)

Victoria Gardens, located North of Foothill Boulevard between Day Creek Boulevard and Etiwanda Avenue by the Interstate 15 freeway, is a pedestrian-oriented, open-air, mixed-use town center in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The convert|147|acre|km2|sing=on [ [http://forestcity.net/properties/victoria-gardens.asp Forest City Enterprises] ] project consists of residential areas, office space, retail stores, public plazas, a movie theater, and a civic cultural arts center. It officially opened October 28, 2004. [ [http://forestcity.net/properties/victoria-gardens.asp Forest City Enterprises] ]

The [http://www.vgculturalcenter.com Victoria Gardens Cultural Center] , which features the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library, a performing arts center, and a multi-use reception hall, is owned and operated by the city of Rancho Cucamonga.

In 2006, the former Robinsons-May store was converted to a Macy's Men's and Home Store to complement the existing Macy's. Unlike other cases where both anchors existed in one mall, Macy's did not move into the former Robinson's-May store and close its original location, because of the fact that both anchors were new and the original Macy's store was not built as a Broadway store.

The rest of the mixed-use development is owned by Forest City Enterprises.

There is also Victoria Gardens shopping centre in inner-suburban Richmond. San Tarascio recently paid $120 million to assume full control of further developments around the Victoria Gardens site. [ [BRW Rich 200 2007] ]
