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.
