Victorville, Calif. — NewMark Merrill Cos., in partnership with World Premier Investments and R.Y. Properties, has received entitlements to develop Desert Sky Plaza II, a 30-acre shopping center located at the southeast corner of Roy Rogers Drive and Amargosa Road in Victorville, approximately 35 miles north of San Bernardino. NewMark Merrill is scheduled to break ground on the project in the second quarter of 2026 with the opening planned for fall 2027.
Designed by Architects Orange and Kimley-Horn, Desert Sky Plaza II will be the second phase of the existing Desert Sky Plaza, which is anchored by The Home Depot. The new phase, anchored by Target and Burlington, will offer 297,363 square feet of retail space. Desert Sky Plaza is roughly 70 percent pre-leased but still has availability for tenants ranging from 1,500 square feet to 25,000 square feet.
Greg Giacopuzzi and Darren Bovard of NewMark Merrill are overseeing leasing at the center.
