ORLANDO, FL – The Central Florida office of SIKON Construction Corporation is under way on The Current at Lee Vista, a much-anticipated, new multimillion-dollar, 800,000-square-foot mixed-use, open-air retail center to feature major national and local retailers within Orlando’s most vibrant quadrant near Orlando International Airport.

Developed by Premier Properties USA, Inc., Indianapolis, IN, the 85-acre project will be one of the largest mixed-use retail developments in the nation. The streetscape and landscaping will give The Current the edgy, energetic and youthful atmosphere which will position it as a world-class destination, creating a powerful, modern visual environment blending well-developed, exciting public pedestrian spaces with drama, simplicity and eclectic materials.

Designed by Beame Architectural Partnership, Coral Gables, the project is slated for completion in early spring 2009. One of the nation’s leading retail-commercial contractors, SIKON’s Central Florida office is located at 500 N. Maitland Avenue, Suite 303, Maitland, FL, phone 407-644-4447.

Longtime Florida construction veteran Dale E. Scott, (top right photo) Senior Vice President of SIKON, says that the company has begun grading, site work and underground infrastructure at the site fronting State Road 436 between Lee Vista Boulevard and Hazeltine National Drive. Scott added that vertical construction is expected to commence within ninety days.

SIKON Construction Corporation is a full-service general contractor and construction manager primarily to the retail industry as well as for office buildings, mixed-use and other commercial projects. The company is currently building a number of high-profile projects across Florida including the new multimillion-dollar Promenade at Coconut Creek, a 550,000-square-foot LEED-certified mixed-use development, and One Village Place, an upscale 10-story, 192,202-square-foot mixed-use development adjacent to The Village at Merrick Park in Coral Gables, FL.
