Posner Park

Posner Park is a $500 million mixed-use development in Polk County, Florida. It is located at the intersection of Interstate 4 and U.S. Highway 27, about 6 miles north of Haines City.

The development is the brainchild of Victor Posner (1918-2002), for whom it is named. Posner Park was developed by Trammell Crow Company as part of a series of joint ventures with MetLife, and the original land owners, the Posner family. It stands on the site of the former Circus World and Boardwalk and Baseball theme parks as well as the former site of the Kansas City Royals’ spring training facility. The first stores opened in March 2008 and included Target, J.C. Penney, Belk Department Stores (since closed), Dick’s Sporting Goods, Best Buy, Staples, Ross, Michaels, PetsMart and Books-A-Million as the 10 anchor tenants that occupy nearly 500,000 sf of retail space on 80 acres fronting Interstate 4 and US 27.
