- D: Bishop Arts Village
- Details: A $50 million redevelopment will soon be underway of 32 parcels, or about 12 acres of land adjacent to the Bishop Arts District that could create a pedestrian-friendly connection between the Bishop Arts District and Jefferson Blvd. through hundreds of apartments and thousands of sf of retail space.
