ChampionsGate Resort to Start Construction of New Downtown District

CHAMPIONSGATE, FL --- ChampionsGate Resort will start construction of its new resort-style downtown district (rendering above) this summer, says Marc Reicher, senior vice president of operations.

Site plans have been approved and building permits are ready to be issued, Reicher said.

Reicher said he has firm letters of intent from retailers who want to lease approximately 40 percent of the 63,000 square feet of retail space planned, including a sushi restaurant, an English pub, a wine bar, a steak and seafood restaurant, a jewelry store, a gift shop, and a smoke shop, Reicher said.

“The Four Corners area does not currently have enough retail facilities to support all of the residential here,” said Reicher.

“Currently, ChampionsGate Village (top right photo) retail venues post an average of $60 million in annual sales. Our new downtown district is focused squarely on the resort retail lifestyle,” he said.
