The Mall at University Town Center near Sarasota is starting to take shape, as construction ramps up and becomes visible to passers-by. Excitement is growing with locals at what is projected to be a huge direct and indirect investment in this area of the Gulf Coast of Florida.
The new mall is going to be the next big retail development in western Florida. Taubman, in conjunction with Benderson Development is developing the 880,000 square foot, two-level enclosed regional shopping center, opening in October, 2014.
With Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s and Dillard’s committed to the mall, it is located at I-75 and University Parkway near Lakewood Ranch, which is the most densely traveled interchange in the area.
Robert Taubman, chairman, president and CEO of Taubman Centers says it "will be one of the premier shopping destinations on the west coast of Florida, and it will be the preferred shopping destination in the Sarasota region for locals and visitors alike."
Randy Benderson, president of Benderson Development thinks that “...this extraordinary investment in Southwest Florida’s future will exceed anyone’s expectations.”
