A 38-acre expansion is planned for the Gatlin Plaza shopping center in Port St. Lucie, Florida, with BJ's Wholesale Club as the anchor tenant. The new BJ's store will be 106,200 square feet and include a liquor store, propane refill station, and gas station. The development will also include three additional lots for future retail, distribution, warehouse, hotel, medical, entertainment, and residential uses.
Why it matters
The Gatlin Plaza expansion represents significant commercial development in the Port St. Lucie area, which has seen steady population and economic growth in recent years. The addition of a major retailer like BJ's Wholesale Club will provide more shopping options for local residents and potentially attract additional businesses to the region.
The details
The Gatlin Plaza expansion will take up 38 acres east of Interstate 95 near the existing Bass Pro Shops location. The BJ's Wholesale Club store will occupy about 13.4 acres of the site, with the remaining land divided into three lots for future development. Before the BJ's can open, the developers must complete several roadway improvements in the surrounding area.
- Land clearing and early construction has already begun on the site.
- BJ's has not yet announced a timeline for when construction on the store itself will begin or when it is expected to open.
