A Publix-anchored shopping center at the corner of West Villages Parkway and US 41 in south Sarasota County, Florida, is currently under construction by West Villages and The Sembler Company. West Villages Marketplace is a 105,000 sq ft retail plaza that will offer a mix of services and restaurants along with a 47,000 sq ft Publix supermarket. The scheme is part of the 15,000-acre master-planned community West Villages Florida, located between the City of Venice and the City of North Port. The project is being developed by a partnership that includes Mattamy Homes and Vanguard Land. In 2018, John Burns Real Estate Consulting named West Villages Florida the fifth fastest selling master-planned community in the US.
“Along with our partners at Sembler, we are excited to offer an inviting and distinguished shopping experience to our residents and surrounding community,” said Paul Erhardt, president of West Villages Florida. “We have curated the right mix of local, regional and national retail merchants.”
