PORT ORANGE, FLA. — CBL & Associates Properties and The Benchmark Group have held the grand opening for The Pavilion at Port Orange, a 415,000-square-foot, open-air shopping center located in Port Orange. Situated on 73 acres of land at the interchange of Interstate 95 and Taylor Road, the property opens more than 92 percent leased. Anchors include Belk and a 14-screen Hollywood Theater. Junior anchors include Homegoods, Marshalls, Michaels, ULTA and PETCO. Other retailers and restaurants include Malibu Beacon Grill, AT&T, Five Guys Burgers & Fries, Trendy Room, Mattress One, Kirkland's, rue 21 and David's Bridal. Above the retail space is more than 34,000 square feet of office space.
One of the draws of The Pavilion at Port Orange is a 7-acre lake. Several of the center's restaurants have outdoor seating overlooking the lake. Walking paths, a playground and community green space add to the appeal of the feature.
The project also includes some sustainable components, including a reflective roof, native landscaping, energy-efficient lighting fixtures, water-effience irrigation systems and stormwater ponds, and dual-flush toilets.
“We are thrilled to officially open The Pavilion at Port Orange, which will not only provide the area with an outstanding retail, dining and entertainment destination, but will make a positive and lasting economic contribution to the area,” said Geoff Smoth, vice president of development for CBL. “The city has been very supportive and a true partner in this project from start finish. We appreciate their confidence and are looking forward to being a part of and serving the Port Orange community for years to come.”
The Pavilion at Port Orange is located approximately 10 miles from Daytona Beach's Volusia Mall, which CBL also owns.
