A new shopping center has been proposed in Gilbert near the busy intersection of Williams Field Road and the Loop 202 freeway.

Going by the name SanTan Crossing, the project would include multiple restaurants, a bank and retailers. One portion of the 20-acre site does not have a plan yet and will be used for “future retail development,” according to documents filed with the town of Gilbert.

The new center will be located at the southeast corner of Williams Field Road and San Tan Village Parkway in Gilbert. Arte Moreno, one of the richest men in Arizona and the owner of the Los Angeles Angels, acquired the land for $24.5 million last year, according to Tempe-based real estate database Vizzda.

Accelerated Development Services, a Phoenix-based commercial real estate development company, submitted the proposals to Gilbert’s Planning Commission on behalf of the Moreno-owned company that owns the land, San Tan Crossing LLC.

The proposal shows 12 different buildings including multiple stand-alone, single-tenant, full-service restaurant buildings. There are others that will be drive-thru restaurant locations. The site plan also shows that some of the buildings will have multiple tenants.
