Residents at The Lofts and Orion on Orpington going back and forth between class and Publix may have noticed the new, still closed-off road extension at the end of Orpington Street.
This new road extension is a state project and will lead to East Colonial Drive. The Publix that is currently located at Alafaya Commons Shopping Center is moving down the road to the Town Park Shopping Center, a new development by Halvorsen Holdings.
The new Publix will increase in size to 46,600 square feet and be at prime location to serve the UCF and Central Florida Research Park area, sitting at the corner of East Colonial Drive and Woodbury Road.
PRWEB released a quote from the president of Halvorsen Holdings on the new development back in February.
“We believe this center will draw a unique mix of restaurant, service and lifestyle retailers to join Publix in servicing the vibrant and thriving population surrounding Town Park,” said Tim Berg, President of Halvorsen Real Estate Corporation. “With approximately 60,000 students at UCF and nearly 10,000 employees at the Research Park, Town Park has tremendous daytime traffic potential.”
The opening date for the Publix and the road extension has not yet been announced.
