Shopping Plaza Proposed For Cypress Creek Town Center

By Matt Wiley

As the Tampa Premium Outlets construction speeds up on the south side of S.R. 56 in the Cypress Creek Town Center (CCTC) Development of Regional Impact (DRI), following the groundbreaking of Simon Property Group’s Tampa Premium Outlets on December 12, more plans have been proposed for the bustling development.

According to the county’s website, on January 12, representatives from Tampa-based Avid Group met with county staff to discuss plans for an outparcel within the CCTC DRI, located at the northwest corner of the S.R. 56/Wesley Chapel Blvd. intersection. 

Documents indicate that, if approved by Pasco County, the proposed project would include a shopping center with six outparcels, totaling 130,000 square feet (located east of Wesley Chapel Blvd.), that would require right-of-way along Memorial Dr. (Old State Road 54). However, no site plan had been submitted to county staff at our press time.

Avid Group’s website shows that the company has completed similar shopping plaza projects across the state, including The Fountains at Bay Hill in Orlando, Park Place Mall in Pinellas Park and Water Tower Place in Celebration.
