A contractor for the area’s second Sprouts Farmers Market pulled a permit Thursday for the almost $4.2 million shell construction of the store at Tamaya Market. J. Raymond Construction Corp. of Longwood is the contractor for the almost 30,000-square-foot building at 12675 Beach Blvd. A separate permit will be issued for the interior completion. Sprouts is expected to open there in early 2020. Harbour Retail Partners Principal Randy Kelley said Friday his team pulled a permit only for the grocery store shell and not the other buildings on the 11.22acre site. “The permit we pulled is for the Sprouts box only,” he said. “The permit for the adjacent shops and and outparcel 1 are in queue for city comments,” he said. Harbour Retail Partners, based in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, paid $6.73 million SEE MATHIS, PAGE 2
