Kimco Realty Corp. announced it has completed the sale to Spirit Airlines of approximately nine acres of land at its Dania Pointe mixed-use project in Dania Beach, Florida. Spirit Airlines previously announced plans to develop a new global headquarters, investing up to $250 million for the creation of a corporate campus that will support more than 1,000 employees in up to 500,000 square feet of space. The airline has also executed a ground lease for an additional land parcel for the construction of a Spirit corporate training residence. Construction of the headquarters is expected to begin in 2021, with an anticipated transfer of employees in mid-2022. Adding to the project’s momentum, Kimco has recently signed leases with the popular lifestyle brands Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie, both slated to open at Dania Pointe in 2020 as part of the retail component of Phases II and III, now approximately 69% pre-leased. Phases II and III will include the Spirit Airlines headquarters, an additional 417,000 square feet of mixed-use retail, dining and entertainment, along with ground leases for two Marriott hotels and 850 residential apartment units, of which the first 264 are now under construction. Additional Phase II and III tenants include Bowlero, Lucky Brand Jeans, Tommy Bahama, Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant, Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, Foot Locker, Lindbergh, Regal Cinema, Saito Japanese Steakhouse, and more. Phase II and III tenant openings began in the fourth quarter of this year and will continue through 2020. Phase I of the 102-acre Dania Pointe development opened in November of 2018, and consists of approximately 330,000 square feet of retail, now 96% leased to brands including TJ Maxx, Hobby Lobby, Ulta Beauty, BrandsMart, Five Below, Shoe Carnival, Starbucks, and YouFit Health Club.
