Tapestry Park is an intricately woven, master-planned development divided into two interconnected, yet very distinct, environments; the vibrant and livable Town Center, and the Neighborhood, with its parks, recreation, and community center. The vision for the Tapestry Park Town Center is to provide a hub of commercial, retail, and leisure activity for those who live in Tapestry Park and also for those in the greater Panama City Beach community. Just a short stroll or bike ride from the residential area of Tapestry Park, the Town Center will provide a blend of convenient activities, including upscale retail shops, cafes, distinctive restaurants and office spaces. Residential flats and loft-style apartment homes will be available above the public spaces, creating a true mixed-use urban setting. With the town center serving as an entrance to Tapestry Park, it sets the tone for the community in a variety of ways, most prominently through its architecture. With the common thread of early 20th century Main Street style, combined with carefully designed elements of an early American town square and a sleek metro center, the Town Center will be similar to the retail markets of early 20th century Main Street with office and living spaces above local pizza parlors and businesses, all with a 21st century flair. The architecture and streetscape will be urban and exciting. Residential units will have overhanging balconies, providing shade and cover to customers below. Complementing the buildings will be wide, tree-lined sidewalks promoting the pedestrian feel of a town square. Living and working in the Town Center, residents and guests will feel like part of a much larger family, visiting with neighbors and friends in the common spaces, at the local stores, and strolling down the community sidewalks. An on site luxury full service condominium style Inn, The Inn at Tapestry Park, is in the final planning stages and will be under construction soon. This boutique style hotel, complete with its own swimming pool, will enhance the town center as a destination, while serving as a much-needed upscale service to the residents of Tapestry Park and the surrounding Panama City Beach area. Along with retailers and restaurants, you will find everyday services such as video stores, business centers, and coffee shops. The Tapestry Park Town Center will provide its residents with convenience once only found in small town America and inspired by main streets of northwest Florida and the Gulf region. Leave your car at home, and walk to the Town Center for an ice cream or a night out. Or pick up a video and your dry cleaning. Pass your neighbor along the way and catch up on the events at the coffee shop. Peruse an upscale arts and crafts shop or show or watch a local artist perform. Enjoy breakfast at a sidewalk bistro with umbrella covered tables or leisurely savor a glass of wine at the Top of the Park at sunset. The whole experience is designed for people to enjoy living to the fullest. Commercial Structures: The Town Center encompasses 15 acres of limited commercial uses, office space, and loft residences and is adjacent to the Neighborhood on the north and fronts Hutchison Boulevard on the south. Ground floor uses throughout are a blend of retail shops, restaurants, and service oriented businesses providing for the every day needs of the Neighborhood as well as the surrounding area. Prime office space occupies the second floor of buildings along Hutchison Boulevard. All commercial structures front directly on streets, not parking lots, and incorporate ground floor storefronts to allow and encourage window shopping, browsing, and pedestrian activity. The pedestrian traffic generated by this configuration contributes to the energy and vitality of the Town Center.   Public Spaces: At the main entrance to the Town Center, a 50 foot wide public plaza separates the one way streets of Tapestry Park Boulevard. This plaza extends from Hutchison Boulevard at the south end to Tapestry Commons at the entrance to the Neighborhood at the north end. The Town Center Square, a 1/4 acre park, is located near this plaza and acts as a gathering and meeting place for visitors to the Town Center. Both the plaza and the Town Center Square are available for art shows, festivals, concerts, and community functions.   Vehicular Traffic: Autos arrive in the Town Center directly from the Neighborhood and from Hutchison Boulevard (Middle Beach Road), the intermediate east-west corridor between Front Beach Road and Panama City Beach Parkway (Hwy 98). On street parking provides adjacent access to storefronts while overflow parking is conveniently located behind the structures in hidden parking garages. Loft residences and offices will enjoy reserved parking.   ^ Back to Top
