Leland Village is a newly constructed, 131,795-square-foot retail destination bringing a dynamic mix of shopping, dining, and services to one of the fastest-growing communities in coastal North Carolina. Anchored by a 50,325-square-foot Publix and complemented by junior anchors Marshalls and Ulta Beauty, the center will feature nearly 47,000 square feet of inline retail space designed to serve the daily needs of Leland's expanding residential base. Scheduled for delivery in Q4 2026, Leland Village is being thoughtfully curated with a blend of national, regional, and local tenants, creating a convenient neighborhood shopping experience for residents while driving repeat visitation for retailers.
Located along a strategic retail corridor just outside Wilmington, Leland Village benefits from exceptional visibility, convenient access, and strong co-tenancy within an established commercial hub. The property sits directly across from The Villages at Brunswick Forest; its placement within a well-established retail node is set to invigorate the already highly active trade area.
The demographics supporting Leland Village are equally impressive. More than 21,000 residents live within 3 miles of the site, with average household incomes exceeding $106,000. The area's growth trajectory continues to accelerate, with household counts increasing 33% between 2020 and 2025 and projected to grow an additional 15.5% by 2030.
For retailers, restaurants, and service providers, Leland Village offers a rare opportunity to establish a presence in a market where quality space remains limited. The Leland retail submarket reported a vacancy rate of just 0.4% as of Q3 2026, underscoring the area's strong demand and constrained supply. With premier anchor tenants, affluent surrounding demographics, and continued residential growth, Leland Village is positioned to become a leading shopping destination in Brunswick County and a strategic location for businesses looking to serve one of North Carolina's most desirable growth markets.
