The Safeway Center is under construction at the southeast corner of San Pablo and Sycamore Avenue. The project, approved by the city in 2017, is developing a former BART park-and-ride lot and Market Hall site into a Safeway shopping center, fuel center, bank, and coffee shop with drive-thru services.
John McNellis of McNellis Partners said the shopping center is 80 percent complete, with the project slated for completion in mid-January.
“We are excited to see it going forward,” said Robert Reber, City of Hercules Community Development Director: “It will present new shopping and retail opportunities for the residents of Hercules and sales tax will be extremely helpful as well.”
