Regency Centers has recruited 13 new retailers at Balboa Mesa Shopping Center, bringing the 210,000-square-foot property to full occupancy. The company’s local leasing agent, Eric Li, completed the leases while the grocery-anchored center was undergoing redevelopment.

New additions include Doctors Express Urgent Care, 85°C Bakery Café, Ototo Sushi Co, Glamour Nails, The Vitamin Shoppe, Chicken Charlie’s FryBQ, The Habit Burger Grill, Pieology, Jersey Mike’s Subs, Boudin SF, Great Clips, Clairemont Smiles, San Diego County Credit Union and Luna Grill.

The retailers complete the tenant roster at a center that serves about 130,000 residents within a three-mile radius, Regency said in a statement.

“This is a well-established community with a huge population. We really took a lot of time and effort early on to craft a project and merchandising plan that met the needs of the community,” Li said. A grand re-opening showcasing the new tenants is scheduled for November.
