ORLANDO, Fla. --- Crossman & Company, one of the largest third-party retail leasing and management firms in the Southeast which represents Orlando Fashion Square (top left photo) , recently negotiated a new 10-year lease for 18,118 square feet at the landmark shopping mall located on E. Colonial Drive near downtown Orlando.
John Crossman CCIM, president of Crossman & Company, said leasing agent Whitaker Leonhardt (middle right photo) negotiated the transaction, on behalf of mall owner Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT), with Sunshine Fitness Centers, Inc. d/b/a Planet Fitness, the fast-growing franchise of health and fitness centers.
Crossman said the space Planet Fitness leased is the equivalent of five units at Orlando Fashion Square and renovations are now underway on the firm’s fifteenth Florida location, which is expected to open in mid-December.

“Planet Fitness is a huge draw and we are delighted they are opening a state-of-the-art facility at Orlando Fashion Square,” Crossman said. “We have been working on repositioning Orlando Fashion Square as a new kind of retail experience for the community and Planet Fitness plays well into our plans,” Crossman said.
