More details are emerging about the eTown commercial center whose lead tenant matches the size of a Publix Super Markets Inc. store.

The PARC Group is developing the proposed “ETown Grocer Commercial Center,” comprising a 43,387-square-foot grocery store and 12,000 square feet of adjacent retail space.

Four outparcels could add four buildings totaling up to 31,400 square feet. 

Developers and Publix have not confirmed the anchor although the Lakeland-based chain operates in other PARC centers, including at Nocatee.

The development is in review at the corner of E-Town Parkway between Apex Trail and Exchange Street. The eTown Welcome Center anchors the corner and will be an outparcel.

Skinner Bros. Realty Co. develops and leases retail centers with The PARC Group. 

“Skinner Bros. Realty and The PARC Group are working on a number of projects in the Northeast Florida area,” said Skinner Bros. executive Riley Skinner, but he could not comment on plans at eTown.

The master-planned eTown community is designed for up to 2,000 homes along E-Town Parkway, east of Florida 9B.

The St. Johns River Water Management District is reviewing plans.
