Whole Foods To Anchor New Retail Center In Cheshire

CHESHIRE, CT — A Whole Foods Market grocery store will anchor the new Cheshire Crossing development project, the property owner announced.

Regency Centers announced in a news release that Cheshire Crossing, a 152,000-square foot shopping center that will serve as the retail component of the Stone Bridge Crossing mixed-use complex, will be anchored by Whole Foods Market.

The announcement confirms previous speculation that was first reported by the New Haven Register.

Regency Centers also announced that Whole Foods Market will be joined by a 23,000 square-foot TJMaxx, an “additional 18,000-square feet of junior anchor space, five outparcels, and 38,000-square feet of inline shops,” according to the news release.

The completed Stone Bridge Crossing development will include 140 townhomes and carriage houses, 300 multi-family units, and a 125-room Homewood Suites hotel in addition to the shopping center.

Located at the intersection of CT-10 and I-691, Cheshire Crossing is “uniquely situated to serve Cheshire and a cluster of nearby towns with a lineup of retailers new to the area,” the news release states.

“Cheshire Crossing is a great example of how Regency is remaining active in the region, and how we can leverage our experience and retailer relationships to develop best-in-class shopping centers from the ground up,” Rebecca Wing, vice president of investments for Regency Centers, said in the news release. “We have a long history and working relationship with Whole Foods Market, and we look forward to demonstrating continued success as long-term stewards of this shopping center.”
