Plans for new Austin Landing retail space, outdoor plaza win OK

UPDATE @ 8:02 p.m.: An outdoor plaza is planned as part of a new retail building at Austin Landing.

Both developments would be next to Field & Stream near The Park, according to the developer for the 142-acre complex.

A tenant for the 12,550-square-foot retail site should be announced soon, said Larry Dillin, president of VisCap Development.

The 2,000-square-foot plaza would provide “better connectivity” to nearby restaurants and bars, Dillin said Tuesday night.

Plans for the building and plaza were approved Tuesday night by the Miami Twp. Zoning Commission. The plans are set to go before township trustees next week.

Approval is being sought on a 32 feet, six inches tall building “that is connected to Field & Stream,” according the agenda for the township’s zoning commission.

Records submitted to the township indicate a tenant plans to locate there by mid-February 2019.
