Orange Avenue Mart FLA LLC, an entity of Tulepan, has acquired 19.6 acres of land on the north side of Orange Ave. at Hartman Rd. in St. Lucie County. The land is zoned commercially and Tulepan plans to develop Orange Mart Shoppes, a 140,000-sf grocery-anchored retail shopping center.

Orange Avenue Mart will be built to complement and become an adjunct part of Orange Avenue Shoppes, a 330,000-sf retail power/lifestyle center to be constructed on 34 acres on the south side of Orange Ave. at Hartman Rd., which fronts Lennar's new Bent Creek residential development.

Tulepan Management principal Randy Tulepan tells GlobeSt.com that plans for Orange Mart Shoppes are still being developed and a ground-breaking date has not yet been set.
