Publix Super Markets Inc. paid $6.66 million May 15 for property for a new store in the Nocatee West shopping center.
Plans show the site is bisected by the St. Johns and Duval county line.
The seller was DDI Inc. of Jacksonville through Sonoc Company LLC.
DDI is a holding company owned by the Davis family. The family has been developing the Nocatee residential and commercial area with The PARC Group.
The Daily Record reported in October 2022 that Publix would need to work with both counties to properly rezone the property.
Plans show the shopping center is on 17.76 acres south of Nocatee Parkway, at Valley Ridge Boulevard and Burbank Avenue.
In Duval County, plans show 16,674 square feet of the 48,387-square-foot Publix, a Publix Liquors store and two sets of retail shops totaling 15,400 square feet and four outparcels of 1 to 1.3 acres.
In St. Johns County, plans show the other 31,713 square feet of Publix as well as half of a 2.36-acre outparcel.
Publix already has a presence in Nocatee Town Center in the St. Johns County part of Nocatee.
It opened a full-line Publix at 120 Marketside Ave. and a GreenWise Market nearby at 250 Pine Lake Drive, both in Ponte Vedra Beach.
The new Publix is about 2 miles west.
