Flamingo Crossing Retail Center

[WDWtraveler]

Photo update as of Tuesday, June 25, 2019. Major construction has been progressing for a couple of months on the most northern edge of the retail space planned at Flamingo Crossings. This construction is on the north side of the perimeter road, west of Flamingo Crossings Blvd. (In the purple area on the map on page 1.) Nothing south of this perimeter road has been started yet. This area is about 1/2 mile from the two existing Marriott hotels on Flamingo Crossings Blvd.

The views are looking north.

Maybe this has been discussed above?
Any plans for a WDW transportation accessible Wal-Mart, or Drug Store, or Food Store?

I really wish they were NOT building this. The entire area is so oversaturated with dining and retail complexes already.

Can’t wait for the next recession to shutter a nice chunk of them!

Take some of the rental cars and dump trucks with them.

Will this area have a backstory?

Yes.....'"This was once a cattle farm, and now we're building some strip shopping centers. Can't think of anything else to do with it. Someone said a Flamingo lived here a long time ago...... research points to 1967".

I'd very much doubt it.

So looks like we are getting a Target on this site according to the D23 expo. Im sure they are already looking into it but they should start pulling all the businesses from the crossroads over here since that area I assume is still going to go away.

South Florida Water Management Permit was filed today for "Flaming Crossing Town Center":

They should add a Weeping Walt statue.

I wouldn’t consider this any worse than the crossroads development in the 80’s

Not too familiar with that area. Always enter WDW from the east. Is there enough traffic and homes on that side to warrant a giant shopping development? Seems pretty isolated over there.

Building "JJ" should become a Star Wars shop.

I live off Avalon Rd about a mile from Western Way. This area is growing really fast. Probably a few thousand more houses coming in the next few years.

I'm definitely gonna miss the wide open land and serenity of it all in that area. Also, not looking forward to the traffic.

Wonder if any Crossroads businesses will end up here. I like Noodles & Co and the Moe's and Fuddruckers. The Goodings can say goodbye, lol.
