Retail Center to add 10,000 Square Feet in New Construction

TAMPA, FL — Florida Retail Partners has been named exclusive leasing agent for Willow Bend Towne Centre, a 184,435 square foot community shopping center located in Lutz, Florida within the Wesley Chapel submarket, one of the Tampa Bay region’s fastest growing markets.
Leasing will be spearheaded by Florida Retail Partners’ Kiera Chocola and Pattie DeWitt.
Leasing at the retail center has been historically high and currently sits at 99% prompting the center owner to add 10,000 square feet in new construction this year. “We anticipate quick lease up of this new space, as new tenants are already showing interest in joining Willow Bend’s solid base of established, long-term tenants, according to Chocola. Tenants like Keke’s Breakfast Café, Vallarta’s Mexi-can and Tijuana Flats drive significant traffic to the center on a daily basis.” The additional 10,000 square feet is anticipated to be complete this fall.
The center anchored by LA Fitness is located at the epicenter of south Pasco County’s rapid growth sitting at the southeast corner of SR 54 and Collier Parkway.
