What we know

Alan Charron purchased the site in 2004 and developed Westchase Town Center from the ground up as part of the Westchase master-planned community.

Over the course of two decades, he built the center into a high-performing retail hub, characterized by strong tenant retention and steady consumer traffic.

The sale was brokered by the Thedford Cannan Group of Marcus & Millichap, which represented the buyer. Bill Smith of Real Property Specialists represented the seller.

Charron said the project is one of the developments he is most proud of because it supports local businesses and serves as a long-standing neighborhood anchor.

What now?

The sale comes as Charron shifts attention toward new developments across Central Florida. His next project, Sails of Trelago, is under construction in Maitland and is designed to set a new standard for upscale retail in the region.

The project will feature restaurants, retailers and experiential spaces built around walkability and coastal-inspired architecture.

As Tampa Bay and Orlando continue to draw sustained population growth, high-quality retail destinations are seeing stronger investor interest. Deals like this one suggest continued confidence in suburban town center models that combine food, fitness and community uses.

What this means for you:

  • For commercial real estate professionals:
    • This transaction shows the market remains strong for well-located, walkable retail centers that offer stable tenants and community value. Investors continue to seek high-barrier-to-entry assets in growing suburban markets.

  • For Tampa Bay residents:
    • The sale signals continued investment in the Westchase area and suggests that the neighborhood’s retail core is positioned for long-term vitality.
