The Commons Shopping Center
The Commons is a 420 SF open-air shopping center located on Retail Commons Parkway, at the intersection of Exit 12 on Interstate 81 and Route 45 in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
History
[edit]The initial plans for The Commons were submitted to the Berkeley County Planning Commission in February 2007. The original plans proposed a 104,231 SF tenant to be beside Target. It was reported by The Journal on February 12, 2008, that a major tenant had withdrawn from the project. The unnamed major tenant was subsequently replaced with Dick's Sporting Goods (50,000 SF) and a series of others, ranging from 1,000 to 15,000 SF.
Development started on The Commons shopping center in May 2008. The 45-acre (180,000 m2) site was developed and is managed by AIG Baker, LLC. The first store (Bed Bath & Beyond) opened in early July 2009 with 8 other anchors opening within the next 45 days.[1] Staples was the only major anchor that did not open in 2009.
Bed Bath & Beyond's store at The Commons is its third in West Virginia.[1]
In December 2012, an American Automobile Association office moved into the center from downtown.[2] A hotel is slated to be added in 2013.[3][4]
