New Target in Cypress Creek Station, Fort Lauderdale Station Along With Five New Stores

Cypress Creek Station – Florida’s retail expansion continues at full speed as Target advances plans for multiple large-format stores across the state. These new locations reflect population growth, household formation, and Target’s confidence in Florida’s long-term consumer demand.

While Clearwater Countryside and Winter Haven have already been covered in depth, four additional Florida locations are moving forward — each strategically positioned within fast-growing trade areas.

FL – Cypress Creek Station | Fort Lauderdale

6415 N. Andrews Ave.
Approx. 121,000 sq. ft.

Target’s Cypress Creek Station store places the brand in one of Broward County’s strongest mixed-use and employment corridors. The site benefits from high daily traffic counts, dense surrounding neighborhoods, and proximity to I-95, making it a strong urban and commuter-oriented location.

This store is expected to serve both nearby residential communities and the broader Fort Lauderdale metro area, reinforcing Target’s footprint in South Florida’s competitive retail landscape.


FL – Lake Nona | Orlando

Lake Nona Blvd., east of Boggy Creek Rd.
Approx. 149,000 sq. ft.

Lake Nona continues to establish itself as one of Florida’s premier master-planned communities, blending medical, technology, residential, and education hubs. Target’s nearly 150,000-square-foot store aligns with the area’s rapid household growth and rising income demographics.

This location will serve a population base that increasingly expects full-service retail options without leaving the community, further anchoring Lake Nona as a self-sustaining urban node.
