An additional 2,400-3,300-square-foot drive-through quick-service restaurant and a 4,700-square-foot marketplace including fuel, diesel and EV charging ports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re just going for a local neighborhood commercial center with some multi-tenant use with another QSR with drive-through and an urban market with fuel, diesel and EV charging,\u201d Virk said.<\/p>\n<p>Virk said that many of the tenants were in the process of being secured, adding that only about 3,000-square-feet of space remains available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe love to develop projects that are pre-leased,\u201d Virk said. \u201cThis project will be pre-leased probably before the time we break ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project is expected to break ground late in the second quarter, with an expected completion date in fall 2027.<\/p>\n<p>The property is across the street from Dutch Bros and Me-n-Ed\u2019s Pizzeria.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the commercial center, Virk is also involved with bringing a five story Hyatt Place to Clovis, which is slated to be next to Highway 168. The Hyatt Place is also expected to have a rooftop bar. Originally planned to open in 2024, The Fresno Bee reported in July 2025 that the hotel is scheduled for completion by April 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Sethi Holdings has also been involved in the hotel sector. In 2019 they opened a Hyatt Place in north Fresno.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image via Google Maps Northeast Fresno could soon have a new commercial retail center.
