Orlando Fashion Square Mall is getting a new fitness club as a tenant.
Orlando-based franchisee Sunshine Fitness Centers Inc. signed a 10-year lease June 24 for an 18,000-square-foot space on the west side of the mall near Sears, with plans to open the facility — its 15th Central Florida Planet Fitness location — in mid-December.
Whitaker Leonhardt of Orlando-based real estate brokerage firm Crossman & Co. represented the mall owner, Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust Inc., in the lease. David Hochstadt of Prudential Florida Realty Inc. represented the tenant.
The Philadelphia-based mall owner (NYSE: PEI) selected Orange City-based J.L Stone Construction LLC as its general contractor to handle work, including interior demolition, floor leveling, a new building facade and entrance, and new air-conditioning units, which began July 12. Sunshine Fitness Centers has yet to select a general contractor to handle the buildout.
The project value is estimated at about $1.5 million, including both mall owner and tenant construction plus about $500,000 in equipment, the firm said through a spokeswoman.
