KISSIMMEE, Fla. — A new town center planned along Simpson Road would bring shops, restaurants and neighborhood services to a growing residential area of Kissimmee.
Developer Plaza Lakes has selected SRS Real Estate Partners to lead leasing for The Village at Hilliard Isle, a planned development with approximately 130,000 square feet of commercial space.
The project remains in the planning and permitting phase, according to the announcement. Infrastructure work for the retail and multifamily portions is anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2028, with the first commercial pads expected to be delivered in the third quarter.
An opening date has not been announced.
What’s planned
Plans call for a walkable town center with outdoor dining, pedestrian connections and a central gathering green anchored by a live oak estimated to be more than 150 years old.
The development team is seeking grocery, restaurant, coffee, fitness, wellness, specialty retail and neighborhood-service tenants. Space would range from smaller storefronts to larger commercial sites and freestanding drive-thru locations.
The announcement did not identify any signed tenants.
“Our vision with The Village at Hilliard Isle is to create a true town center that provides the surrounding community with a thoughtfully designed place to shop, dine, gather and enjoy,” said Jaime Luis Fonalledas of Plaza Lakes.
Part of a larger residential development
The town center would serve the larger Hilliard Isle community, including an adjacent approximately 2,000-home development by Pulte Homes and planned multifamily residences.
Plaza Lakes assembled and master-planned the larger property, retaining the town center and multifamily portions.
A new traffic signal is also planned at the development’s entrance on Simpson Road, according to the announcement.
