Irwindale is getting bulldozed under to make way for another shopping center a year from now

It was sold in 2013...  so this was easy to predict

The 63-acre site, bordered by the San Gabriel Valley Freeway and Live Oak Avenue, has changed uses several times since the 1960s, when it was a quarry, mined for sand and gravel by Pacific Rock.

When the mining operation ended in the mid ’70s, it was converted into a 200-foot deep landfill of mainly construction waste for nearly 20 years.

It later became home to the Irwindale Speedway in 1999.

When Irwindale Outlet Partners, LLC purchased the property for $22 million in September 2013, the owner extended the lease with 211 Enterprises, which operates the Irwindale Event Center, on a year-by-year basis.

Romo said the existing lease will continue until the owner secures at least 65 percent of the outlet tenants.

Still on track are the final event of the national Formula Drift Series, the annual Mooneyes Holiday Party, Hot VWs Drag Days, and the El Camino Motorcycle Show
