The Marketplace at Heritage Harbour is experiencing a rapid development surge with multiple new retail and dining openings, several planned tenants, and residential components moving forward. The growth has added large-format anchors, national chain restaurants, specialty shops, and plans for a grocery store and other services that together expand the plaza’s retail footprint and community amenities.

Key developments and openings

Costco remains the key anchor for the Marketplace at Heritage Harbour. Anchor store Costco opened in 2019, featuring a 155,000-square-foot retail warehouse. Since then, the center has added other major anchors and destination retailers.

Target opened its nearly 150,000-square-foot store in August 2024. Nearby, Academy Sports + Outdoors opened in November 2024 in a nearly 63,000-square-foot building, selling sporting goods and outdoor equipment. Hobby Lobby opened next to Academy Sports + Outdoors in April 2024, occupying approximately 55,000 square feet. These large-format openings substantially increased the plaza’s retail diversity and square footage.

Restaurant and hospitality entries in the past two years include a mix of casual dining and full-service restaurants. Miller’s Ale House opened in November 2023, housed in a 7,600-square-foot building at 7175 State Road 64 E, featuring indoor and outdoor seating. LongHorn Steakhouse opened in May 2024 in a 5,780-square-foot building. Seasons 52, also from Orlando-based Darden Restaurants, opened in September 2024. Seasons 52’s menu and seating options are part of the plaza’s upgraded dining mix.

Planned tenants and future build-out

Whole Foods is planned for a 40,000-square-foot building on the plaza’s east side, situated opposite future Qdoba Mexican Eats and Encore Nails. Two future units are part of plans for a coffee shop and a proposed smoothie cafe.

A long list of additional future tenants has been announced for spaces in the plaza. Additional future tenants include Cold Stone Creamery, Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza, CAVA, Chick-fil-A, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Sleep Number, My Eye Dr., Panda Express, Portillo’s, The NOW Massage, and Pacific Dental Services. A pending lease for a breakfast/brunch cafe has been filed by First Watch, headquartered in Bradenton.

Nothing Bundt Cakes, specializing in various Bundt cakes, is set to open in a nearly 2,000-square-foot space in the plaza, though an opening date has yet to be announced.

Retail scale, residential plans and site layout

The Marketplace at Heritage Harbour plaza provides over 500,000 square feet of retail space. The center’s total retail area now includes large anchors and numerous inline shops and restaurants across multiple parcels. Three future parcels are available at the south end of the Target parking lot for additional development.

Development plans at the plaza also call for residential and lifestyle elements. The shopping center is set to have 350 luxury residential units with a dog park. Plans also include a mix of specialty retail and services such as a luxury beauty retailer, boutique fitness, jewelry store, and a quick-service restaurant.

Seasons 52 details and menu note

Mini pumpkin pie is among the seasonal dessert offerings at Seasons 52, which features dishes priced between $20 and $40. Seasons 52’s location includes patio seating and options for private dining.

Site history and context

The Marketplace at Heritage Harbour opened its first store six years ago. The Marketplace at Heritage Harbour is located at the intersection of Interstate 75 and State Road 64. The plaza’s larger anchors, including Costco in 2019, established the center as a regional shopping destination and set the stage for follow-on retail, food and service tenants.

What this means for shoppers and the local area

The concentration of big-box retailers and national dining chains increases shopping choices within the plaza and draws regional traffic from Interstate 75. The planned mixed-use elements, including luxury residential units and a dog park, indicate a shift toward a combined retail-residential neighborhood model rather than a purely commercial strip.
