Cortez Plaza is a premier ±260,000 SF retail destination anchored by LA Fitness and Sprouts in the
thriving Sarasota/Bradenton submarket of Florida. Positioned along US-41 and Cortez Boulevard,
two of the area’s busiest corridors with a combined traffic count exceeding 100,000 vehicles daily,
the center offers unmatched visibility and accessibility.
With strong, long-term anchors including Sprouts, LA Fitness, and Burlington, plus newly developed
outparcels featuring Chick-fil-A and Starbucks, Cortez Plaza continues to benefit from rising
consumer demand and steady foot traffic. Adding to this momentum, the nearby 52-acre DeSoto
Square Mall is being redeveloped into a vibrant mixed-use community with multiple apartment
projects already under construction and additional phases planned.
These transformative developments are driving demographic growth, energizing the market, and
reinforcing Cortez Plaza’s position as a highly desirable retail hub for national, regional, and local
tenants alike.
