Sutton Properties has received the green light from the Orange County Commission for a $22 million expansion of the Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores. Located on State Road 535, the 19 year old center will receive an additional 110,000 square feet. The new section will bring the center up to 348,000 and create 225 new jobs. Construction is slated to start in the third quarter of this year.
“Our factory stores experienced significant sales growth in recent years as increasingly-savvy visitors and local shoppers alike demand their favorite brands in broad selections at tremendous savings,” Sutton Properties President Sam Sutton said in a prepared statement. “With this growth has come more inquiries from potential new tenants, but with low store turnover, we needed more space to maximize these opportunities. Expanding our center by nearly 50 percent will enable us to do so.”
