Event venue Villa Bella is coming to Middlebrook Plaza in Ocean Township, joining an evolving tenant mix at the 253,000-square-foot shopping center on Route 35 at Deal Road. The 2,700-square-foot lease was arranged by Michael Manna of Burke & Manna Real Estate and owner’s representative Bernard Silverstein, a partner of developer Garden Commercial. Glenda Dembreze of Re/Max Synergy served as the tenant’s broker.
Villa Bella is a new venture for sisters Isabel Abreu and Kelly DeOliveira. The business will specialize in hosting intimate celebrations of all kinds, from bridal showers and birthdays to spa experiences and parties/events for all ages. Villa Bella is set to open at Middlebrook Plaza in Spring 2026.
“Great things are happening at Middlebrook Plaza,” said Silverstein. “This new addition is a fantastic enhancement as we continue to expand and diversify our tenant mix, bringing us closer to full occupancy. Villa Bella will be a wonderful community amenity.”
Anchored by Kohl’s and Floor & Décor, Middlebrook Plaza’s tenant lineup includes new additions Alpha Gym and King House Sushi (coming soon). The property also features Dollar Tree, alongside a variety of retailers, dining options and service providers.
