Posner Park

Last updated

Posner Park is a $500 million mixed-use development in Polk County, Florida, at the junction of Interstate 4 and US 27 north of Haines City.

History

The development was the brainchild of Victor Posner (1918-2002), for whom it is named. Posner Park was developed by Trammell Crow Company as part of a series of joint ventures with MetLife, and the original land owners, the Posner family. It stands on the site of the former Circus World and Boardwalk and Baseball theme parks as well as the former site of the Kansas City Royalsspring training facility.

The first stores opened in March 2008 [1] and included Target, J.C. Penney, Belk Department Store (since closed), Dick's Sporting Goods, Best Buy, Staples, Ross, Michaels, PetSmart and Books-A-Million as the 10 anchor tenants that occupy nearly 500,000 sf of retail space on 80 acres.

In January 2014 the undeveloped area of Posner Park was set to be auctioned off in August 2014 as the owners filed for bankruptcy. [2]

In September 2019 additional retail outlets were opened at Posner Village, immediately south of the original development. The new stores include Burlington and Five Below. [3]

Sunnyvale Town Center was a two-level shopping mall located in Sunnyvale, California, USA. It opened in 1979 on the site of much of the city's downtown, and was anchored by Macy's, Montgomery Ward, and later, J.C. Penney. Target moved in when Montgomery Ward closed. By the early 2000s, the mall had failed financially and only the Target and Macy's stores remained open. Work on a mixed-use development to replace the mall was stalled by a legal dispute from 2009 to 2015, with most buildings incomplete, but resumed after the city reached an agreement with new developers in mid-2016. By the end of 2020, a multi-screen movie theater and a supermarket had been built and opened in addition to most of the residential buildings; as of January 2021, replacement plans were going forward for a group of lots including the site of Macy's, which closed in 2019. Much of the area has now been rebranded as CityLine Sunnyvale.
