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 It was reported by The Journal on February 12, 2008, that a major tenant had withdrawn from the project.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]
