Tiffany's Coming to Mall at Millenia

ORLANDO-Tiffany’s & Co. of New York is making its Orlando debut this fall at a 5,700-sf store the 164-year-old jeweler is constructing at the 1.3 million-sf Mall at Millenia, one of the largest shopping centers in central and north Florida.

The 11-year-old Sawgrass Mill Mall in Sunrise, FL, near Fort Lauderdale, is the largest retail emporium in Florida at 2.2 million sf. The 1.6 million-sf Florida Mall in south Orlando is the largest retail center in central and north Florida.

Tiffany officials couldn’t be reached at GlobeSt.com’s publication deadline to learn construction details. But Orlando area construction industry estimators tell GlobeSt.com the store’s shell is probably being built at $200 per sf or a total $1.5 million, twice the cost of most retail structures. Special security amenities raised the cost.
