A highly visible, standalone retail property at what is arguably Winter Park’s busiest intersection has inked a new tenant in “a record-breaking rent deal.”

The 2,621-square-foot space at 600 S. Orlando Ave. that long was home to a Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen fast-food restaurant will become a new store for telecommunications giant AT&T.

Artope said there was a high level of interest in the space from a variety of users, including retail, banks and restaurants. He said it was the landlord’s preference to wait “for that national credit, solid lease to come along” — and AT&T fit that description.
