As principal of UP Development, commercial real estate developer Scott Fish has overseen a number of major retail center developments and renovations in several markets around the United States. Over the course of nearly two decades working as a real estate developer, Scott Fish has overseen such significant projects as The Shoppes at Alafaya in Oviedo, Florida.
When UP Development first launched its efforts to revitalize The Shoppes at Alafaya, the construction firm faced a daunting task. Due to a number of logistical and legal missteps, development on the $38.4 million retail center had slowed to a halt. Challenged with turning a largely vacant development marred in legal issues into a thriving commercial center, UP Development recruited leading professionals from multiple sectors to collaborate on the project.
The development of The Shoppes at Alafaya included a 50,000-square-foot renovation to Dick’s Sporting Goods, as well as the addition of 14,000 new square feet of retail space. BB&T Bank also entered a space vacated by a since-dissolved financial institution. These new tenants joined a collective 200,000 square feet of retail development space and now stand alongside major retail and dining outlets including Toys R Us, Babies R Us, Jason’s Deli, and Bahama Breeze.
