Premier Fort Myers grocery-anchored center trades

MIAMI, May 13, 2026 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has facilitated the sale of Daniels Crossing, a 110,780-square-foot grocery-anchored neighborhood shopping center located in Fort Myers, Florida.

JLL represented the seller, a joint venture between Forge Capital Partners and The Sembler Company. The buyer was Publix Super Markets, Inc.

Daniels Crossing is strategically positioned at the high-visibility intersection of Daniels Parkway and Six Mile Cypress, with combined traffic counts exceeding 100,500 vehicles per day. This prime infill location provides exceptional accessibility to key Fort Myers demand drivers and serves a robust trade area with over 147,000 residents and an average household income of $113,000 within a five-mile radius.  The neighborhood shopping center, which is 100% leased, features a newly redeveloped Publix prototype store, Quest Diagnostics, Hope Chest Hospice, Millennium Physicians Group and UPS Store.

JLL Capital Market’s Investment and Sales Advisory team representing the seller was led by Danny Finkle and Jorge Portela.

"The sale of Daniels Crossing demonstrates continued strong investor demand for grocery-anchored retail assets with institutional-quality anchor tenants and mark-to-market potential," Finkle said. "The property's dominant position in one of Florida's fastest-growing markets, combined with the newly rebuilt Publix prototype store, made it an attractive acquisition."
