Chase Bank following Publix into new Carytown Exchange development Michael Schwartz photos) With its grocery anchor open for business, a $40 million Carytown retail project has signed another big national name. Chase Bank, the banking giant that’s in the thick of a branch blitz across the Richmond market, is taking space for a location in Carytown Exchange, the 120,000-square-foot, Publix-anchored development taking shape at the retail district’s western edge. A Chase spokeswoman confirmed it is leasing around 3,000 square feet of yet-to-be built inline space fronting Cary Street. Carytown Exchange also features storefronts facing Ellwood Avenue, in addition to the 49,000-square-foot Publix that opened this month.
