We Buy Estate Jewelry in Nexton, SC

The operators of the long-awaited Publix at Nexton have finally set an opening date.

The Lakeland, Fla.-based grocer confirmed it will welcome shoppers Feb. 12 starting at 7 a.m. — an announcement preceded by months of speculation from local residents.

When one recently asked in the "Welcome to Summerville" Facebook channel, the answers were a mixed bag.

"Spring?" "I was initially told that it would open last November." "February. But keeps getting pushed back."

The store at 1274 Nexton Parkway was originally expected to open in mid-2024 to serve the developing 5,000-acre Nexton community, eventually home to roughly 19,000 residents. But the timeline kept getting pushed with little word from the grocery store chain or Branch Properties, the developer.

Signage for the 48,387-square-foot Publix went up four months ago, but neighboring tenants have shared that permitting and water problems bubbled over into 2025, keeping all their doors shuttered indefinitely.

Now with water hooked up, Ryan Delman will open his newest Jersey Mike's franchise nearby. Also, Publix can stock its shelves — a process that takes about 30 days once permitting is completed.

“We look forward to bringing the Publix difference to our new customers and being active members in this great community,” the supermarket operator said in a written statement.

Jersey Mike's and the grocer will be joined by restaurants Catrina’s Cantina, Woodhaven Pizza, Ruby’s Bagels, Indian restaurant Naan Appetit, and Dulce Churros, Ice Cream and Cocktails. Other tenants in the development include Swamp Fox Agency, The Packie Wine and Spirits, Noire Nails, Basecamp Fitness, Heartland Dental and Fifth Third Bank.

Leasing is 100 percent full. One Nexton is a mixed-use development on 23.66 acres at the northeast corner of Brighton Park Boulevard and Nexton Parkway. The first phase features 32,000 square feet of retail space and two corner outparcels, as well as 351 apartments.

In the midst of Publix’s construction, rival chain Harris Teeter opened across the way at 1269 Nexton Parkway in mid-May.

Woodfield Development, one of the nation’s top 20 developers of Class A multifamily communities, celebrated the completion and opening of The Radler, a multifamily community in Downtown Nexton. A mixed-use community located in Summerville, Nexton is recognized by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) as the No. 1 master-planned community in the U.S.

Charleston-based Woodfield Development has a long-standing presence in the Carolinas. The Radler marks the developer’s eighteenth project in South Carolina, adding to their impressive track record of over 4,300 units and more than $1 billion in development within the state over the past 15 years. This new development builds on the recent launch of Woodfield’s first project in Downtown Nexton, The Ames, which opened in July, as well as the completion of Goddard Point Hope in Charleston. With a strong pipeline of upcoming projects, Woodfield is set to soon unveil Flora, a new development within the Carnes Crossroads master-planned community, just two miles from the bustling Nexton area.

“We are excited to unveil our second residential project in the vibrant Downtown Nexton community,” said Mike Schwarz, partner at Woodfield Development. “The Radler, which translates to ‘cyclist’ in German, represents a dynamic residential community where personal joy flows into a shared sense of movement and energy. We look forward to seeing how The Radler will shape the future of Downtown Nexton.”

Situated on approximately 11.4 acres at 1100 Warburton Road, The Radler consists of 324 sophisticated apartment residences, offering a mix of studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 777 to 1,772 square feet. The residences feature open layouts, 9-foot ceilings, modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, custom built-ins, hardwood-style plank flooring, walk-in closets, in-unit washers/dryers and private balconies.

The amenity-rich community features a pool and sundeck, a rooftop sky lounge, a fitness center and outdoor fitness lawn, a spin room, a conference room, co-working spaces, a game room, and a resident lounge. The pet-friendly community also features a courtyard, gas grills, outdoor dining spaces, a pickleball court, an outdoor amphitheater, a bike barn, and electric vehicle charging stations.

Recognized as South Carolina's most innovative and walkable community, Nexton comprises 5,000 acres of housing, destination dining, retail, commercial, and office space. Located in the buzzing epicenter of Downtown Nexton, The Radler is an easy walk, pedal, or golf cart ride away from the expansive Nexton trail system and all the best that Nexton has to offer – from South Carolina’s finest dining options like Poogan’s Southern Kitchen and Hall’s Chophouse, to Nexton Square’s boutique shops, and a myriad of opportunities to experience vibrant culture, such as the Jazz Music Festival at Brown Family Park.

The project team for The Radler included Housing Studio, Seamon Whiteside, SHAH Architecture and Interiors, S Wilkins Interior Design and CF Evans.
