New Publix To Be Built In Planned West Bradenton Development

BRADENTON, FL — A 50,000-square-foot Publix grocery store is the first major tenant to sign on for the planned SeaFlower Village Center, according to a news release.

The new grocery store will include a separate Publix Liquors.

Seaflower developers submitted plans to Manatee County for the new store, the news release said.

The West Bradenton retail development will be built on 400 acres west of 75th Street West and south of Cortez Road.

It’s part of a larger 1,175-acre development that includes 4,000 residential units, 600 apartment units, 250 hotel rooms, and 350,000 square feet of office and retail space.

“Introducing a Publix to the SeaFlower community exemplifies the thoughtfully designed, connected neighborhood we’ve been envisioning in collaboration with Manatee County for over a decade,” Edward Hill of Lake Flores Land Company said in a statement. “SeaFlower residents will enjoy convenient access to shopping and public spaces, all within their own community, as additional stores and amenities come to life in the SeaFlower Village Center.”

A 2.5-mile trail, ideal for walking, biking and golf carts, will connect the community’s residents with the SeaFlower Village Center.

CASTO and Redstone Investments will develop and manage leasing for the center.
