Shoppes at Cypress Creek

Shoppes at Cypress Creek Center now going up

By

A new retail strip center is coming to a site on State Road 54, west of Tampa Premium Outlets and the Cypress Creek Town Center.

Paradise Ventures Inc., is clearing land and installing infrastructure on about 3.5 acres at the northwest corner of State Road 54 and Old Cypress Road. The site is west of Interstate 75, within proximity of Tampa Premium Outlets and the Cypress Creek Town Center.

A conceptual plan filed with the county shows a “strip retail” center of about 18,000 square feet. Two 9,000-square-foot buildings are planned with a 20-foot breezeway between them. An outparcel is proposed as a site for a “quick service” restaurant of about 3,500 square feet. Two outdoor patios also are shown.

A company representative could not be reached for comment.

Paradise Ventures, based in Safety Harbor, previously developed the Shoppes at Terra Bella, also along State Road 54, east of Livingston Road.

No information is available on potential tenants at Shoppes at Cypress Creek. But, tenants at Terra Bella include national chains, such as AT & T, Firehouse Subs, and Tropical Smoothie Café.

State Road 54 is among the county’s busiest east/west corridors, making it an attractive development area.

Plans filed by Paradise Ventures cite state traffic counts along the State Road 54 corridor at about 73,000 annual average daily trips. That volume is expected to grow to nearly 100,000 by 2025, according to a county comprehensive transportation plan.

Addition to office plaza
The Lutz Stonewood Professional Park is currently adding two new buildings to its site. This comes as its first building was erected last year. The structures will both stand at over 3,600 square feet, serving as medical and office space along State Road 54. There are plans to incorporate 10 buildings, in all, within the plaza.

 

 

 

Office space springs up in Wesley Chapel
The Professional Office Building is under construction at 2663 Lajuana Blvd., in Wesley Chapel. The structure will be set up to accommodate professional, medical and dental offices. It also will stand three stories high, each floor being 5,000 square feet. And, it will be situated across from the Wiregrass Ranch Sports Complex of Pasco County.

Car wash coming soon
Lutz will be the home to the new Woodies Wash Shack. Located at 24823 State Road 54, the carwash will be a part of the soon-to-come Shoppes at Cypress Creek. It will consist of a drive-thru washing tunnel and 19 parking spaces for self-service vacuum cleaning. The facility will total more than 5,000 square feet.

Taco shop added along 54
Fuzzy’s Taco Shop is expanding its chain into Land O’ Lakes. The site is at 19651 State Road 54, in the same vicinity as a new 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station. The 8,000-square-foot restaurant will serve its trademark tacos, guacamole, chips and frozen margaritas. It will be the newest location of more than 100 branches nationwide.
