Branch targets year-end site work at Louisville's Publix-anchored Mid City Market

Branch Properties plans to start site work by the end of 2026 at Louisville's former Mid-City Mall, which it is redeveloping into the Publix-anchored Mid City Market. President and CIO Jesse Shannon reaffirmed that timetable in a November 11 city announcement.

REBusinessOnline reported November 13 that the planned redevelopment has a $60 million budget. The existing 185,000-square-foot mall is scheduled for demolition in January 2027, with the replacement project expected to open in 2028. Those dates remain targets.

The report identifies Bardstown Road Investment Co. as the seller and says it will retain an undisclosed equity interest. Craig Collins and Austin English of Cushman & Wakefield | Commercial Kentucky represented the seller.

The city's announcement also calls for shops, restaurants and a new library alongside Publix.
