Wildomar To See New Strip Center

Development of a multi-tenant retail building in Wildomar, just west of the 15 Freeway on Bundy Canyon Road and Angels Lane, received approval from City Council Wednesday night.

In a unanimous vote, council members gave approval to move forward on the 10,500-square-foot building to be located at 21940 Bundy Canyon Road, next door to an existing Jack in the Box restaurant.

According to property owner Onkar Sud, the proposed building will house a Subway restaurant and up to six additional tenants.

Sud said he owns another 24 Subway stores, including the restaurant located in the Albertson’s shopping center at Clinton Keith Road in Wildomar, and he is using his own money to finance the proposed project’s construction.

The project, which is located on a 1.27-acre pad, is expected to feature modern, contemporary design, with an earth-tone stucco exterior and 28-foot-high rectangular columns wrapped in stone veneer, according to Dan Cline, principal architect on the proposed development.

As part of the process for moving the project forward, council was unanimous in its vote Wednesday to change the property’s zone from Rural Residential to General Commercial.

The timeline on the project is expected to take less than a year.
