Scott Fish Up Development
An accomplished real estate development and construction professional with a specific focus in the retail shopping center sector, Scott Fish serves as principal with UP Development, through which he manages a range of development and workout projects. In business for more than 17 years, this Franklin, Tennessee-based firm operates throughout the southern United States. Mr. Fish’s responsibilities with UP include designing, permitting, and developing shopping centers that feature major national chains as anchor stores. These anchor stores range from general merchandise big-box retailers, such as Wal-Mart and Target, to large grocery stores, such as Kroger and Publix.
Although they complete a wide range of real estate projects, Mr. Fish and his firm prefer to renovate and rebuild existing buildings and infrastructure rather than constructing these elements from the ground up. Key projects include the redevelopment of the 1.3-million-square-foot Orlando Fashion Square Mall and the 275,000-square-foot Cypress Trace Shopping Center in Fort Myers, Florida.

Up Development Principal
Headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, Scott Fish leads UP Development in redeveloping existing structures in high-growth urban areas. As part of this focus, he consciously avoids involving the firm in projects that contribute to the suburban sprawl that has led to innumerable foreclosures in areas like Orlando, Florida, where UP Development maintains a second office.
Some of the redevelopment projects that Scott Fish has guided include Orlando Fashion Square Mall, a landmark retail and entertainment center; the Millenia Mall, a 23-acre development in Orlando; and the Shoppes at Alafaya, a $38.4 million project in Orange County, Florida, that had previously been stalled in litigation for several years. These structures house a number of major national retailers, including Dick’s Sporting Goods, Toys “R” Us, and Sears.
To complement Up Development’s redevelopment projects, Mr. Fish maintains a staff with experience in design, financial procurement, location analysis, and project management. To learn more about him and his firm, please visit UPDevelopment.com.
