The Village at Seven Pines is taking shape at southeast Butler Boulevard and Interstate 295 now that the city issued permits Feb. 9 to start with projects, including Publix Super Markets Inc., at project costs totaling $26.92 million.

The permits come as developer Regency Centers plans a Feb. 18 groundbreaking at the site.

Regency Centers announced it will move its headquarters from Downtown into the commercial development.

J. Raymond Construction Corp. of Longwood is the contractor.

Regency Centers

Regency Centers and former landowner Sawmill Timber LLC said previously The Village at Seven Pines will be the primary retail component of the master-planned Seven Pines community.

Seven Pines is about 1,000 acres. When complete, it will have about 1,600 single-family homes, apartments and more than a million square feet of commercial and retail space.

Regency Centers will develop, own and operate the retail center, which will include dining, health/wellness, soft goods and personal services.

Regency Centers’ leasing brochure says the center will be 250,000 square feet. The retail portion will be at least 182,000 square feet.

There are pads for outparcels, which are typically or sold or leased to developers or owners for restaurants, fast-food, office, medical and other uses.

The new Regency Centers headquarters will span three floors and integrate within the retail space.

Regency Centers leases headquarters space Downtown in what had been Wells Fargo Center, now called 1 Independent Square, at 1 Independent Drive. The company has 260 employees there and occupies 55,000 square feet of space among three floors in the 37-story tower.

Davidson said the headquarters building would open at Seven Pines after the first retailers.
