Merced Center

As the largest project the Redevelopment Agency has ever developed, the Merced Center includes a three deck parking structure with 10,000 square feet of retail space, a five-story business class hotel and a new two story Merced College Business Resource Center. The parking structure and Merced College Business Resource Center have already been completed. Bounded by 18th Street, M Street, 19th Street and N Street, this development will be a crowning achievement in the redevelopment of downtown.

Historic Merced Theatre

The Redevelopment Agency is actively working to restore the historic Merced Theatre. The first phase of rehabilitation included a complete restoration of the 10 residential units and 6 retail Main Street storefronts. Construction has already been completed for both uses and all residential lease units have been filled. The Redevelopment Agency is seeking tenants for the newly restored commercial spaces. The Merced Theatre Foundation raised funds and completed phase II which included the restoration of the iconic tower. The third phase is being spearheaded by the Merced Theatre Foundation as well. Funds are currently being raised for the complete restoration of the theatre's interior with the intent of revealing the theatre's original grandeur. Upon its completion, the landmark will provide the community a superb venue for artistic events and community gatherings.
