Three Dog Bakery debuts in Riverside

Dog owners can treat their favorite furry companions to a treat at the new Three Dog Bakery in Riverside.

The store at 195 E. Alessandro Blvd. opened Jan. 22, serving freshly baked cakes, cookies, Pupcakes and treats just for dogs. The bakery also sells dog food, toys and other supplies.

The Riverside franchise is owned by Danielle Bolbach.

“Riverside is packed with pups and dog parents that love to spoil,” she said. “I knew it would be a great location for Three Dog Bakery. We’re so excited for this new adventure.”

Depending on Fido’s tastes, he can choose from Blueberry Muffins, Maple Bacon Pancakes and packaged Lick’n Crunch sandwich cookies.

Perris Gateway construction begins

Work is underway on the Perris Gateway Commerce Center, a mixed-use and logistics complex.

When completed, the campus at the Ramona Expressway between Nevada Road and Webster Avenue will have a 950,000-squarefoot logistics facility, a 37,000-square-foot commercial center and a mixed-use component.

The mixed-use part of the property will have seven stores including Taco Bell, Starbucks, a Shell Gas Station and a Sonic burger.

The city said the commerce center, approved by the city in March 2023, would lead to the creation of 2,000 new jobs.

Deca, the project developer and owner, is providing an undisclosed amount of money for the Perris Downtown Skills Training & Job Placement Center and a $200,000 investment to Val Verde High School for its Career and Technical Education and Garden Programs.

“We strive to be good neighbors and contributors in the communities we build in,” said Daniel Sachs, managing director at Deca. “When we first started working on this project, we quickly understood the needs of the community and worked with them and the city to create the best possible project.

“We are excited to get the CTE program started which will help bridge the gap between high school graduates and the workforce and make it easier for young adults to start working close to home,” he added.

The commercial portion of the center should be open later this year, and the entire project is expected to be completed in early 2025.

Apartment building sells in Palm Desert for $2.2M

A10-unit apartment building in Palm Desert has traded hands for $2.2 million or $220,000 per unit, according to CBRE.

It’s the first time the 36-year-old property has sold in 20 years.

CBRE declined to identify the seller or the buyer.

“The buyer was attracted to the property’s strong Palm Desert location and the over 60% upside in the rent roll to achieve nearly an 8% cap rate,” said Dan Blackwell, an executive vice president at CBRE.

The two-story, 8,360-square-foot building at 73435 San Gorgonio Way has two-bedroom apartments with a patio or a balcony, a community pool and garage parking.
