DeBartolo Development, Forge start work on Orlando Fresh Market

Tampa-based DeBartolo Development LLC and Forge Capital Partners LLC have broken ground on The Fresh Market at Mills Park, a 14.5-acre mixed-use development at the intersection of Mills Avenue and Virginia Drive in Orlando.

The 24,000-square-foot specialty neighborhood grocer will anchor The Market at Mills Park, the retail portion of the development, which will also include multifamily and office components. The Fresh Market is scheduled for completion next year.

“The groundbreaking of the urban infill development, Mills Park, is exciting because it is evidence that Orlando is moving out of the recession and into prosperity,” says Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. “I am thrilled to see retailers such as The Fresh Market believing in Orlando.”
