Just less than two months after officially breaking ground, walls already are going up at the future Tampa Premium Outlets mall off S.R. 56 in Wesley Chapel.
After years of legal battles, as well as a few months of infrastructure construction, vertical development has begun on Simon Property Group’s newest outlet mall, located in the Cypress Creek Town Center (CCTC) Development of Regional Impact (DRI) on the west side of the S.R. 56/I-75 interchange. During a ceremony on December 12, representatives from Simon announced that the mall is scheduled to open in October of 2015. And now, that idea doesn’t look all that far-fetched.
It also officially was announced at the groundbreaking that Saks Fifth Avenue “Off 5th” will be one of the 441,000-sq.-ft. mall’s 110 tenants, although that information was announced in a press release about two years ago. Other tenants will be announced as the mall gets closer to opening. The mall will feature an outdoor, “Key West” design, with large shaded overhangs and open space, as well as a central water feature (see rendering).
