Impact analysis
Construction is expected to take 10-12 months once permits are shovel-ready, with opening targeted around 2027.
Shoppers across the region get a membership warehouse club; the city gains a major commercial anchor and jobs.
Nearby Del Webb residents were the focus of lighting scrutiny — photometric plans show near-zero light spill at the property edge.
