The City of Destin is reviewing a request to change the use of approved retail space within the HarborWalk development. The original Development Order allowed for 199,999 square feet of retail, all of which has been built. A subsequent amendment approved an additional 25,001 square feet of retail space. The developer now wishes to use a portion of this additional space for a restaurant. This item is currently under review by the city. If approved, this change could involve interior build-out for a restaurant, potentially including kitchen installation, dining area construction, and associated plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential work related to interior renovations and restaurant build-outs are encouraged to monitor this project's progress. Early engagement before final plans and permits are issued could offer a competitive advantage.
