RALEIGH – A long-rumored new grocery store in downtown Raleigh was confirmed Thursday as a Publix supermarket in the ground floor of an apartment tower at the southeast corner of Peace and West streets.
The site is in an area that has been an unfocused spread of small stores, state offices and land that is beginning to take shape as a defined commercial and residential northern border of downtown.
Raleigh Kane Realty and Williams Realty & Building Co. last year announced plans to build an $85 million to $100 million project that will include 400 apartments and ground floor retail. Publix will occupy 45,600 square feet of the building.
