New Shopping Center of Pineda Landings

A new retail space is set to be built in Melbourne. Encompassing a total of 53,000 square feet, about half of the project will open to three retailers, and the other half of the space is already claimed by The Fresh Market. The retail space is:

  • Set to open in the fall of 2015
  • Valued at $5 million
  • Going to bring The Fresh Market to Brevard County

This will also be The Fresh Market's first shop to open along Space Coast, though it will be its 41st store in Florida. The company considers itself a "European style gourmet market," and uses its retail locations to create an "old world shopping experience."

Locals have also been clamoring for one of The Fresh Market's competitors, Whole Foods Market, to open a location in Brevard County. As of yet, there is no confirmation that Whole Foods Market will open a store in the county.

 

Building a New Retail Neighborhood

There will be four buildings in the one story development at the intersection between N Wickham Road and Jordan Blass Drive. They will be joining other stores in the nearby area, which include:

  • McDonald's
  • Outback Steakhouse
  • Suntree Florist and Gifts
  • Bank of America

The new stores are slated to be focused on retail rather than food or entertainment. There are two bus stops within two blocks of what will be Pineda Landings, which makes the new development ideal for many consumers and a great investment for retail chains looking to come to Florida.

 

Construction Still Pending

The project is set in multiple phases, and will be built building by building. The construction efforts will include:

  • Setting up and rewiring traffic lights
  • Landscaping
  • Concrete work and masonry
  • Installing architectural electronics

Construction companies can still bid for the project, though the bids that have come in are being evaluated now, and a host will be chosen soon in order to maintain the 2015 deadline.
