Bravo Supermarket to anchor new Poinciana Gateway Plaza
November 06, 2007
A 15,000 sq. ft. Bravo Supermarket will anchor the new $4 million Poinciana Gateway Plaza shopping center at the corner of Old Pleasant Hill Road and Cypress Parkway in Poinciana.
The supermarket is expected to open November 15th in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, according to Dennis Wallin, vice president of operations and development for Alpha 1 Marketing, the White Plains, New York parent company for the 15-year-old Bravo Supermarket chain.
“All our Bravo supermarkets are individually owned and operated neighborhood food stores that are merchandized for the demographics of the communities in which they are located,” said Wallin.
It will be the 22nd Bravo supermarket in Florida and the fifth in the Greater Orlando area, joining others in Apopka, Kissimmee, Pine Hills and Winter Garden. All told there are over 60 Bravo stores in Florida, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
Poinciana Gateway Plaza consists of two 15,000 sq. ft. Mediterranean-style buildings and is a joint venture development of Parsons Design & Development and Arnco Construction, both of Kissimmee.
Builder Ray Parsons said other tenants include Broadway Station II, a post office and gift shop; Poinciana Eye Center; Triple Flava Jamaican Restaurant; Harvest Books Giftshop and More; Metro PCS; Latino Family Beauty Salon; Cece’s Boutique; Best Nail and Spa.
At present only 3,000 sq. ft. of space remains available in Poinciana Gateway Plaza, according to leasing agent Kristin Spivey with Latitude 28 Real Estate Brokerage in Kissimmee.
Poinciana Gateway Plaza is one of four shopping centers currently under development in Poinciana. Others are Cypress Plaza Shopping Center, Solivita Marketplace, and Poinciana Pointe, the latter anchored by the new Lowe’s home improvement retail store now nearing completion. Development of a fifth shopping center, the Village Shops at Bellalago, is expected to begin in mid-November.
