North Merced (north of Bear Creek) is in the predominant path of residential growth of the community, with the greatest number of new subdivision and housing starts. North Merced has been developed since the 1970’s and contains major shopping and office streets (Olive, G, M, and R).

Merced Mall, located on Olive between M and R, has over 500,000 Square feet and is the only enclosed shopping mall in the region. Anchors are Sears, Penney’s, Mervyns, and Target ( a freestanding pad). Other larger tenants include Michael’s, MacFrugals, United Artist Cinema, Longs Drug, and Blockbuster.

Also in the Mall’s vicinity are Circuit City and Orchard Supply Hardware. Located on Olive Avenue are Gottschalks, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, and grocery store centers anchored by Savemart, Food4Less, and Albertson’s. Raleys anchors a center at G and Yosemite.

Garden office complexes along major arterials house medical offices and others.

Opportunities for new retail development are found on West Olive, and pads at existing centers. Office locations can be found throughout the area.
