ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Edens & Avant announced today
the grand opening on February 1 at 8:00 a.m. of the Publix at Rio Pinar
Plaza, a prominent neighborhood shopping center in Orlando. The new, larger
supermarket replaces the original Publix, which is being redeveloped for
in- line retail stores as part of an extensive center upgrade.
At 45,600 square feet, Publix will offer a wide variety of products and
services for the growing community surrounding Rio Pinar Plaza. The store
features a bakery, deli, floral department and fresh seafood department in
addition to a full-service pharmacy.
"This phase of the redevelopment included a number of moving parts due
to its complexity," said Lyle Darnall, Edens & Avant Vice President of
Development. "Partnering closely with Publix during this time was vital to
the success you see here today."
Situated in a dense residential area characterized by established
neighborhoods as well as significant new development to the southeast, Rio
Pinar Plaza will undergo a complete facade update along with parking and
landscape improvements. Small shop space will be added. Upon completion in
late summer 2007, the center will span 118,000 square feet.
Darnall continued, "Rio Pinar, with this beautiful new Publix and the
additional changes we are making here, reflects our corporate objective to
own centers in strong demographic, high barrier-to-entry markets where we
are continually working to redevelop or reinvent those centers to meet the
evolving needs of retailers and consumers."

in primary markets throughout the East Coast. Focusing on innovative
development and redevelopment together with key acquisitions in urban
