PHOENIX - If you've been near the old site of the Paradise Valley Mall recently, you might have noticed a lot has changed.
What we know:
The re-envisioned area, now called PV, has new restaurants, shops and residences. It's all part of its $2 billion redevelopment.
The first phase of PV is now open near Cactus Road and Tatum Boulevard. There's already a ton going on with even more to come in the next few years.
Right now, Valley favorites like Trevor's, Blanco Cocina + Cantina, and Flower Child are now open. Wren House Brewing will open in the next few weeks.
There's also a Whole Foods Market and Sephora.
The list goes on and on.
Developers say they're focused on bringing the community together by featuring a concert series, movies in the park, and a fitness series.
Demolition efforts begin at Paradise Valley Mall as redevelopment project moves forward
The demolition is part of a redevelopment project that’s been years in the works, and officials say the 92-acre site will be developed in phases.
What's next:
PV will soon be home to around 3,000 residential units – 400 of those units just opened up.
The popular Scottsdale restaurant CALA, located at the Senna House Hotel, will be opening a second location at PV. That's expected to open in 2026.

Now, the mall is mostly gone, having been demolished to make way for a new development project. FOX 10 Photojournalist Joe Tillman has more on PV Mall's rise and fall.
