Newhall Mixed-Use and Theater Approved to Move Forward!

February 10, 2015 – Santa Clarita City Council members gave their blessing this week to a proposal to bring a parking garage, retail and residential space and a Laemmle Theatre to downtown Newhall. The council’s vote Tuesday, though, doesn’t mean it’s time to cut the ribbon just yet.  There is much work that needs to be done to continue our momentum.  Serrano Development Group is excited to play an integral part in the development of the new mixed-use project in Downtown Newhall.

We see this project as an opportunity to revitalize the community and bring back the culture to the once flourishing city of Downtown Newhall.  The insertion of a new 2 Story Laemmle Theatre, 46 new residential units, and over 21,000 square feet of retail into a developing area such as Downtown Newhall looks to make an enormous and revitalizing impact on the surrounding community.  We are excited to get going!
