Crosland Southeast to Break Ground on Two Publix-Anchored Centers in the Carolinas

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. AND NEW BERN, N.C. — Crosland Southeast has closed on the land purchases of 12 acres in Myrtle Beach from L Star Management and eight acres in New Bern for two future Publix-anchored shopping centers. Village Shops at Grande Dunes in Myrtle Beach and River Place Shopping Center in New Bern represent a planned $38 million worth of development. River Place will be the first Publix location ever to break ground in coastal North Carolina. Crosland Southeast is the landlord on both lease transactions with Publix and is responsible for leasing future shop space and outparcels. Austin Williams and Brad McGinnis of Crosland Southeast’s Raleigh office jointly worked on the transactions, and Chris Taft of Crosland Southeast oversees all commercial leasing. Crosland plans to open the Village Shops at Grande Dunes in mid-2016 and River Place Shopping Center in late 2016.
