Permitted and physically underway — dates are milestones, not promises.
The Race Track Road widening is under construction per county progress updates, and the US-1/CR-210 and US-1/Race Track intersection improvements are in the county’s 2026 federal-funding request — asked for, not yet funded.

Real announcements from named developers — but timelines this early move.
Regency Centers announced the $55M, 106,054 sq ft open-air center in July 2026 — anchored by Whole Foods, with TJ Maxx, Shake Shack, and Firebirds — at E Peyton Pkwy adjacent to UF Health Durbin Park. Groundbreaking is expected in Q4 2026; no store-opening dates are published yet.

Things buyers repeat that the record doesn’t support. Knowing what’s NOT true is worth as much as the rest of this page.
A 50–61,000 sq ft grocery-anchored center at CR-210 & Veterans Pkwy is in county pre-application review, and its footprint matches a Harris Teeter — but the operator is unannounced, Harris Teeter declined comment, and Kroger was reported in July 2026 to have scrapped further Florida expansion. The honest phrasing: a grocery-anchored center is in review; nobody has said whose.

The CR-210 widening is DONE — six lanes from I-95 past Beachwalk Blvd, celebrated by the county in April 2026. Buyers who crossed this corridor off their list because of the construction years should look again; the commute math changed this spring, and prices haven’t fully caught up to it.
This is the work I do every week. I drive this corridor weekly. Ask me which side of which intersection actually benefits from what’s being built.
