West Bradenton’s newest development has its first tenant.
SeaFlower developers announced they submitted plans with Manatee County to bring Publix to the nearly 1,200-acre mixed-use development south of the Cortez Road and 75th Street West intersection.
The Lakeland-based grocery giant will build a 50,000-square-foot Publix in the new SeaFlower Village Center, about 2 miles from the Publix at the Bradenton Commons shopping center, 4651 Cortez Road W.
“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, managing director of the Lake Flores Land Company, said in a news release. “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 separate Publix liquor store is also planned. Opening dates have not been announced for either store.
