LAST UPDATED: April 23, 2022
It’s no secret that northern St. Johns County is experiencing a massive development boom right now.
Over the past decade, thousands of single-family and multi-family living units have popped up throughout land that had long sat undeveloped near the county line between southern Duval and northern St. Johns. And with any significant growth in population, commercial development soon follows.
Over half a dozen retail center projects have sprung up in the northern St. Johns area. The largest of these projects, Durbin Park, has been detailed frequently by local publications, including our own. We even created a running list of future Durbin Park tenants which became one of our most-viewed articles of all time, showing the clear interest in retail growth in the area.
That’s why we’ve decided to make a dedicated list for all of the other, less-mentioned developments that are underway in the northern St. Johns area. We’ve listed what we know so far below, and we’ll keep updating the list as new tenants and projects are announced.
Be sure to check back frequently for updates. And if you wish to utilize these lists on your own page, please be sure to link back to our original list!
Bold entries denote tenants that have opened.

Where’s the cool stuff at
Who doesn’t like a good self storage unit???
We moved from NY almost 2 yrs ago. Had stuff in the attic that no one remembered. So do you take this stuff, pack it $$, move it, $$, now put it in storage $$$ for another X years. Then someday your kids will find this stuff, when you are gone and say what the … and then figure out how much wasted $$$$$ ????
Same old same old 🤦What is new? These shopping centers are like Pete and Repeat. A lot of the shops that are already open are boring. Would love some truly local businesses that make the community stand out from others. Nothing new here.
Someone once said ” If you haven’t used it in 6 months you don’t need it. After 32 years in last house with stuff from when we first got Married and never used, but moved with it each time. 6 x we decided to get rid of stuff rather than store for 2 months and pay for it. Got rid of a ton of stuff. Moved here, and got rid of a tone more!!! Trust me, if have not used it in a year you DO NOT NEED IT>
We need and want some good upscale restaurants this is what’s really needed.
Never going to get them. It will be just like getting good stores and not Ross, Burlington and so on.
The Greenwise Publix in Nocatee is now open.
I agree. Where’s the chick fil a and actual department stores? I would love to see a Bealls store and some restaurants like CheeseCake factory.
We need a BJs, Homegoods, TJ Maxx & Marshalls
TRADER JOE’S. HOME GOODS!
Right 👍🏼.
Ben & Jerry’s in Nocatee opened yesterday. There’s a lot of others on your list that have opened, but don’t seem to be marked as such in your post. Panera, Tanks, Clean Juice, Really Good Beer, etc.
Want a Trader Joe’s and Homegoods, Take out Chinese restaurant and a Arby’s in Nocatee
Please bring to Northern St Johns County
Yes, Also Homegoods & TJ Maxx, CVS & a Bj’s
Ben & Jerry’s is in the wrong place in Nocatee. Their leftist nonsense and supporting cop killers isn’t gonna fly around there.
Our hope, and likely theirs as well, is that Nocatee is not as closed off to different viewpoints as you think it is. For most normal people, it’s just a place to get ice cream.
7-11 is coming to DURBIN CREEK CROSSING
Cheese Cake Factory and a Steak House Restaurant. We really don’t need anymore fast food places to eat.
Any idea what will replace earth fare?
Earth Fare is coming back July.
There better be a second fast food restaurant SOMEWHERE! The Wendys is always SLAMMED since there is NO second choice… pretty stupid.
Native Sun and Whole Food have both opened stores since Earth Fare closed.
Not in northern St. Johns…?
Need a HomeGoods, Trader Joe’s and/or Sprouts, Best Buy, and Target then the only time I would need to go to St Johns Town Center is if I am casually shopping which I do alot online now anyway.
Trader Joe’s PLEASE!
I just saw on Instagram this week that they are opening.
Clothing stores would be great!! Home goods, Target, Michaels. And what about more of a variety for fast food…Arby’s, chick fil a, and TacoBell
Chick-fil-A or Taco Bell would be great in Shoppes at Rivertown 🙂
Peppers Cocina Mexicana Restaurant & Tequila Bar is going in at Durbin Creek Crossing in between the Aldi and the Tire Kingdom.
Is there some anti-Target policy too? Wife’s a Minnesota native and is wanting one near where we’re hoping to build!
Same old same old 🤦What is new? These shopping centers are like Pete and Repeat. A lot of the shops that are already open are boring. Would love some truly local businesses that make the community stand out from others. Nothing new here
Publix in Shoppes at Rivertown opened today 🙂
Thought this area was considered the up and coming attraction like the St Johns Town Center but guess not cause it is filled with lower end of boring stores. Where are the real stores and restaurants….Burlington; Walmart; Ross is the recipe for disaster in the near future.
Where is Chick Fil A and Mongolian BBQ a great steak house…? Oh how about…..Costco’s
Yes, where’s a Chick-fil-a and Costco???!!!
While I’m excited for the growth, I think this area could really benefit from businesses that promote more social interaction. Post covid I think there will be a great desire for brunch, live music, happy hour, and lounges. Not only that, but with the large amount of residential construction we all need department stores to furnish our new homes. Does anyone know if there are city council meetings for this area? Thanks
everything seems so casual:((
why not bring some upscale stuff???
No mention of Costco planned for WGV near Buckee’s?
WE NEED A SUPER TARGET! & home goods/Marshall’s/TJ maxx, Barnes and noble, and Trader Joe’s
Anyone up for a Library in our area, Is one planned? If so where would you want it? 2209 & Racetrack, CR 210, WGV, US1 & Racetrack or the new 2209 to 16 via Silverleaf.
Oh great. Not! More chains and junk!
Would love to see a home depot or lowes, a pet supermarket or target?
With Earth Fare [SHOPPES OF ST. JOHNS PARKWAY] closing, is there any news on what may be coming to that space? Also, Grand Nail Lounge [SHOPPES AT RIVERTOWN] is now open.
Seems like a good spot for a Green Wise or Whole Foods (would be nice at least).
Mexican, Italian, fast food, and Duncan Doughnuts, why add more of those. Build something we don’t have. We have enough nail salons and gas stations! Give us a diner that serves from morning till 9 pm with meat and vegetables. Daily specials and regular menu items. Or a cafeteria would work too.
Wendy’s and Great Clips opened in Beachwalk. Also “Plaza at Beachwalk” is having dirt moved and it is listed as “proposed national home improvement” plus a gas station and some smaller stores it looks like. Also “The Markets at Twin Creeks” seems to be moving forward and has at least one lease executed for something. Also “Shoppes of Valley Ridge” by Ash Properties at the intersection of US 1 and CR-210 is moving forward (foundations are being poured). Unfortunately on all of these, no clue on tenants.
