MIAMI, Nov. 4, 2025 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged $17.5 million in acquisition financing for International Shoppes, a 73,568-square-foot open-air shopping center strategically positioned on Orlando's renowned International Dr. tourist corridor.
JLL worked exclusively on behalf of The Cornfeld Group to secure financing from Ameris Bank.
International Shoppes is strategically positioned at 5600 International Dr. at the southeast corner of International Dr. and Kirkman Rd., one of Orlando's premier intersections and main tourism corridors. This prime location offers exceptional visibility with combined traffic counts exceeding 62,000 vehicles per day and immediate proximity to I-4 and Florida's Turnpike.
The property is currently 82% occupied and features a well-diversified tenant mix of local restaurants and specialty tenants that attract both tourists and local residents. The shopping center benefits from being located within minutes of Universal Studios' new Epic Universe theme park, Walt Disney World, SeaWorld and the Orange County Convention Center, the second largest convention center in the United States.
The property sits within a hospitality market featuring nearly 60,000 hotel rooms within three miles and benefits from Orlando's position as the #1 convention destination in the United States. International Dr. serves over 74 million annual visitors with an $88 billion economic impact.
JLL Capital Market’s Debt Advisory team representing the borrower was led by Director Joshua Odessky, Senior Director Michael DiCosimo and Analyst Aaliyah St. Louis.
"International Shoppes represented an exceptional opportunity to acquire a value-add retail asset in one of the nation's premier tourist destinations," said Odessky. "The property's outstanding location on International Dr., strong tenant mix and significant value-add potential through lease-up made it an attractive investment for The Cornfeld Group."
