New Destination Open Now in Port Orange by Daytona Beach

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and The Benchmark Group last week held the official Grand Opening of The Pavilion at Port Orange, a 415,000 SF open-air development in Port Orange. The area's newest and most unique shopping destination opened more than 92 percent leased or committed with several major anchors. The Pavilion at Port Orange is one of only a few major retail developments expected to open in the U.S. in 2010.

The Pavilion at Port Orange's more than 30 retailers, restaurants and cinema bring a broad range of shopping, dining and entertainment options to the city, and the nearly 2,000 jobs to the region. The completed development is estimated to generate over $1.0 million in annual sales tax revenue to the City of Port Orange and Volusia County as well as more than $1.0 million for local schools and fire and rescue services.

The shopping center offers customers a unique shopping experience with an updated coastal style of architecture, two-story themed buildings and extensive landscaping in an open-air pedestrian-friendly environment. A focal point of The Pavilion at Port Orange is the seven-acre lake surrounded by several sit-down restaurants overlooking the water. The open-air center features a lakeside path and covered children's soft play area sponsored by Halifax Health, and a community green space that will serve as a gathering place for residents and tourists. Curbside parking provides customers with easy access to the shops. The Pavilion at Port Orange features more than 34,000 square feet of office space above retail.

Architecture is coastal Florida, including wood, natural, hand-cut coquina masonry, stucco, verandas and shutters that complement and blend with the local community. Environmentally friendly features of the development include: highly reflective roofing materials, Dark Sky compliant lighting fixtures, draught tolerant, native Florida landscaping, Water-wise "smart" irrigation heads, storm water ponds for irrigation and dual flush toilets.

Where: 73 acres of land at the northwest corner of I-95 at Taylor Rd. Williamson Blvd. will serve as the main access point to the center. The Pavilion at Port Orange will draw from a strong demographic base in the surrounding communities of Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater and Southern Volusia County.

Facts: 190,000 SF of small shops; major stores include Belk, Hollywood Theaters, Marshalls/HomeGoods Megastore, Michaels, ULTA, Petco, and Red Robin Gourmet Burgers.
