Restaurant Spaces For Lease! Available at Hills City Center – Join Minneola’s Next Major Dining & Lifestyle Destination

From We Sell Restaurants, Hills City Center presents an exciting opportunity for restaurant operators looking to establish or expand in one of Central Florida’s fastest-growing communities. Located at the Florida Turnpike and Hancock Road interchange in Minneola, this large-scale mixed-use development is being positioned as a premier destination for dining, retail, healthcare, entertainment, residential living, and community gathering. The project offers restaurant tenants the opportunity to secure space within a development designed to generate significant daily traffic and long-term customer demand.

For a restaurant operator, the surrounding development provides an unusually diverse customer base. Hills City Center is planned to include approximately 600,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space for lease, 500,000 square feet of medical office space, more than 1,000 multifamily residential units, senior living, hospitality, and additional community amenities. This combination creates the potential to attract customers throughout the day—from nearby residents and medical professionals to employees, shoppers, families, and visitors.

A major draw for the development is the new Crooked Can Minneola Market, which had their grand opening in July of 2026 . A planned approximately 43,000-square-foot brewery and food hall featuring a taproom, multiple food vendors, outdoor gathering areas, and event space. The presence of an established entertainment and dining destination has helped create additional customer traffic and establish Hills City Center as a place where people intentionally come to eat, socialize, shop, and spend time. 

The development's proximity to the new AdventHealth Minneola campus provides another significant advantage for restaurant tenants. The medical campus is expected to bring healthcare professionals, patients, families, and visitors into the immediate area, creating demand for convenient breakfast, lunch, dinner, takeout, coffee, and other food-service options. The combination of medical and commercial development creates opportunities for restaurants to serve both daytime and evening customers. 

Accessibility is another major selling point. Hills City Center is located directly at the Florida Turnpike interchange, with substantial Turnpike frontage and regional connectivity throughout Central Florida. Project marketing cites approximately 90,000 vehicles per day on the Turnpike, providing restaurant tenants with significant exposure to commuters, residents, travelers, and visitors passing through the area.

For a restaurant tenant, perhaps the biggest opportunity is the long-term growth of the surrounding customer base. Project materials identify more than 1,000 multifamily units within Hills City Center and significant additional residential development throughout the surrounding South Lake County market. As Minneola and the surrounding communities continue to expand, restaurants located within the project can benefit from an increasing base of nearby residents while also capturing regional and commuter traffic.

Hills City Center offers restaurant operators the opportunity to get in early on a major Central Florida development and establish a presence before the surrounding market reaches full maturity. With residential growth, medical development, entertainment, retail, strong transportation access, and significant planned commercial space, the project is designed to create the type of concentrated customer activity that can support a wide range of restaurant concepts—from fast-casual and family dining to upscale restaurants, cafés, specialty food concepts, and destination dining.
