In addition to Publix, tenants of the retail plaza at 1160 East State Route 434 include Edward Jones, GNC, Great Clips, Quest Diagnostics, Subway, UPS and Zoo Health Club.

The Winter Springs retail property “serves as the de facto downtown for the community,” David Wik, senior vice president of acquisitions at Phillips Edison, said in a prepared statement.

John Bell, managing director of brokerage firm Transwestern, marketed Winter Springs Town Square and represented the seller, an unidentified Dallas-based group. — Mike Seemuth
