Desert Hills Premium Outlets Improvement Project

The Desert Hills Premium Outlets Improvement Project involves the expansion of the existing regional commercial retail center in Riverside County, California, with the construction of up to 15 new buildings adding approximately 47,915 square feet of retail and storage space. Key improvements include two connecting structures linking the east and west wings of the property, removal of the internal driveway, and the creation of a new surface parking lot with 283 additional spaces. The main entrance and associated traffic signal will be relocated to the intersection of Seminole Drive and Malki Road to improve access and traffic flow. The project also features new site infrastructure such as lighting, landscaping, irrigation systems, and two bioretention basins designed to manage stormwater runoff. Once completed, the total developed floor area of the retail center will reach approximately 776,510 square feet, maintaining its function as a regional commercial retail destination. The project is being coordinated by Riverside County, with primary oversight from Candice Hughes, Principal Planner, and technical input from Clif Poynter, Director of Civil Engineering at Simon Property Group, and Chelsea Ohanesian, Project Manager from Dudek. The anticipated posting date for the solicitations is May 29, 2026, and the place of performance is identified with the zip code 92230. While no specific solicitation number or NAICS code has been assigned yet, the project is categorized as a forecast and will require compliance with environmental and infrastructure standards applicable to large-scale retail developments in California. Public and stakeholder engagement will likely be a key component as the project progresses toward implementation.
