Breaking News: The Marketplace at Trinity – Featuring BJ’s and Home Depot

Posted on by Jay @ Welcome to Trinity!

Big News for Trinity: “The Marketplace at Trinity” Is Officially Moving Forward!

Exciting development news for our community! On Friday, February 13th, formal construction plans were submitted to Pasco County for a major new shopping center near the intersection of SR-54 and Little Road β€” and the lineup is impressive.

The first two buildings to have official plans submitted are a BJ’s Wholesale Club (complete with a fuel station) and a Home Depot (featuring a garden center). These are the first formal development plans ever submitted for this long-discussed site, signaling that this project is genuinely moving forward.

The overall development, called “The Marketplace at Trinity,” is planned to include even more. Site plans have shown an Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse for some time, along with an additional restaurant or fast food location, two retail buildings, a bank, and one more yet-to-be-identified building β€” though formal plans for those have not yet been submitted to the county.

On the traffic side, plans call for a new traffic light at SR-54 and Cattle Ranch Way, which will serve as the main entrance to the shopping center. Separately, construction is also expected to begin soon on a new traffic light at SR-54 and Mitchell Ranch Road β€” not directly tied to this project, but nearby with connecting roads to the site.

A quick note: While various concepts and renderings for this location have circulated over the years, this is the first time specific businesses have formally submitted development plans. Any older concept images that don’t match this layout should be considered outdated.

Stay tuned β€” we’ll keep you updated as more details come in! πŸŽ‰

A Year of Making a Difference

In 2025, Starkey CARES quietly worked behind the scenes to support our neighbors when they needed it most.

Our Mission

Starkey CARES exists to support families in Starkey Ranch and surrounding areas during life’s most challenging moments. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we provide discreet financial assistance so families never have to resort to public fundraising during times of crisis.
