Building a Legacy

Building a Legacy

he Shops at Legacy is located in the heart of Legacy Town Center, a melange of urban style homes, businesses, retail establishments, a full–service hotel, restaurants, offices and open spaces in a community setting.

The creation of Legacy Town Center represents the first instance of the town center concept being applied to an existing business development. The lead architect and planner of the 150–acre center is world-renowned new urbanist Andres Duany, chosen for his expertise in planning and his commitment to lifestyle flexibility.

Inspired by Legacy–s master planning and spirit of community, Duany saw in Legacy the potential to integrate business, residential and retail facilities into a one–of–a–kind, state–of–the–art metropolitan community.

Legacy Town Center is located within the nationally recognized Legacy Business Park

The owner managed to maintain the exposed brick interior when he rescued the building from deterioration in the 1940s.
