About 150 of the total 280 available retail sites remain unfilled. About 30 tenants expect to open by Dec. 1.

New York-based Macy's, at 276,000 sf, is the largest retailer in the mall and in Central Florida. The department store is Macy's largest in Florida. Bloomingdale's of New York and Neiman Marcus of Dallas are the other major anchors.

Macy's expects to do an estimated $150,000 on its debut, according to a published report. Average quoted asking rents at Millenia are estimated $35 to $55 per sf, plus a percentage of gross annual sales, area retail brokers following the mall's progress tell GlobeSt.com on condition of anonymity. That estimated rent range is double Downtown Orlando rents.
