Anchored by Bass Pro Shops World Wide Sportsman, Belk, Hard Rock Cafe and a 14-screen Rave Motion Pictures Movie Theater, Destin Commons has set a new standard for shopping, dining and entertainment in Florida’s Panhandle since opening in November 2003. Ideally located in Destin, Fla.’s dynamic retail hub at the corner of Mid-Bay Bridge Road and U.S. Highway 98, Destin Commons currently includes 400,000 square feet of retail and 70,000 square feet of office space.“Demand for high-end retail in Destin is evident with the success of our existing stores,” he said. “This expansion will solidify Destin Commons as the premier super regional lifestyle center in the entire Panhandle for years to come.” Goldfarb added that the new retail space will be built adjoining the lifestyle center. It will include lush landscaping and a variety of additional family-friendly elements that complement Destin Commons’ fun, relaxing environment. “We’ve spent a great deal of time and effort designing the Destin Commons expansion so it mirrors the existing lifestyle center,” said Goldfarb. “It will include the same ‘fit and finish’ that have been a Turnberry hallmark for nearly four decades.” Legendary President Peter Bos said Destin Commons has had a tremendous impact on the community and its expansion will once again raise the bar in Okaloosa County and the entire northwest Florida region. “Our goal is to continue redefining the family shopping and entertainment experience along the Gulf Coast,” Bos said.
