Building Redevelopment

One of MCE’s landmark construction projects is the redevelopment of a six-story former government building in Pomona, California.

Zoning Transformation: The property has been successfully rezoned from government use to retail and commercial purposes, unlocking new opportunities for urban renewal.
Future Vision: Our plan is to transform the building into a modern commercial complex, integrating retail, office, and community spaces.
Current Use: The building currently houses a private club and offices, serving as a transitional phase before the full redevelopment.
Design Approach: With a forward-looking architectural vision, MCE will introduce contemporary design elements, enhanced functionality, and sustainable building practices to create a new commercial landmark in Pomona.

This project highlights MCE’s expertise in real estate repositioning, construction, and design-driven development.
