University Park, Mote Ranch, University and the I-75, exit 213 corridor are the epitomy of “location, location, location” these days. With current residential construction and communities that are within a young 10 year existance, the University Parkway communities and neighborhoods have everything within their reach. If that isn’t enough of a perk, the airport is just minutes west.
University Town Center, which has attracted Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Macy’s as anchors, is expected to be on a par with Tampa’s International Plaza in terms of luxury and retail variety. The project’s partners are Benderson Development Co., the Forbes Co. and Taubman Centers Inc., the developer of International Plaza and the Mall at Millenia in Orlando. University Town Center will be more than 900,000 square feet, surrounded by hotels, restaurants, homes and offices. The combined project is 1.7 million square feet. Developers plan a November 2010 opening.
