Crossman & Company Announces Publix Redevelopment for Aloma Shopping Center
ORLANDO - This month the Publix Super Market in the Aloma Shopping Center in Winter Park will be demolished. Construction will immediately begin on a new 47,000 square foot facility in the same location. The new Publix, which should reopen before the end of this year, will include a liquor store. Other shops at the center---including the landmark Aloma Cinema Grill, Pet Supermarket, and Fedex/Kinko’s---will remain open while the entire property is remodeled.
Publix was one of the original tenants along with W. T. Grant Co. and Woolworth when the plaza opened in March of 1961. For a number of years, Publix operated this location under its Food World brand. Their original store was 24,640 square feet and it was expanded to 41,990 square feet in 1994.
Crossman & Company handles the leasing and property management as well as the coordination of the redevelopment.
“This expansion is the right strategy at the right time,” said John Crossman. “The new Publix Super Market is projected to open late in the 4th quarter, and we are excited to bring this new facility to the center and to customers in this community.”

Mattamy Homes, Adina Construction Come Through For Allen D. Nease High School in St. Johns County, Donates Materials for New Sidewalk
JACKSONVILLE - When Allen D. Nease High School officials learned they needed a new sidewalk for their athletic program and lacked the funds to build it, they turned to the Jacksonville division of Mattamy Homes U.S. Group, the U.S. arm of Canada’s largest home builder.
Mattamy Homes is known for its civic and community work and ranks as one Jacksonville-area home builder whose sales have been strong enough to support a little charity.
Jerry Dean, vice president of construction at Mattamy Homes in Jacksonville, immediately telephoned Adina Construction, Inc., the St. Augustine concrete contractor that provides foundations, driveways, sidewalks and hardscapes in many Mattamy communities in the region.
The result? Together, Mattamy Homes and Adina Construction pooled the concrete and labor to build the sidewalk. Allen D. Nease High School officials and athletes are very grateful that Mattamy Homes and Adina Construction were able to step up to help out the school.
“We aren’t expecting a marching band or even a school cheer,” Dean joked. “We were happy to do our little part for our community,” he said.
