Crescent B Commons shopping center at Babcock Ranch nearly fully occupied

Crescent B Commons, the 83,487-square-foot shopping center at Babcock Ranch, is now 98% leased, announced Kitson & Partners.

Since the September 2021 opening of Publix Super Market, the center’s first tenant, it has been joined by resident-owned restaurants Pi Local Pizza and M’xuma Tacos Mexican Grill as well as Publix Liquors, Clover Nails & Spa and The Postal Place Pack & Ship. More businesses are expected to open in the coming months.

“Bringing businesses to residents of Babcock Ranch and the surrounding region is an important part of our vision as a sustainable and growing community,” said Syd Kitson, chairman and CEO of Kitson & Partners. “It significantly reduces long commutes for grocery shopping and services residents need.”

Recently recognized with a Silver Certification from the Florida Green Building Coalition and located at the main entrance to Babcock Ranch on State Road 31, Crescent B Commons offers a mix of retailers, restaurants, healthcare providers, beauty salons and professional services.

Stellar Vision and the Vet at Babcock with a surgery center are expected to open this month. Royal Paw Grooming & Boarding and a dental office will open by June. Additional tenants include U-Yee Sushi, Burger Fi, a hair salon and a residential real estate office. Kitson & Partners is also finalizing leases for a national coffee shop and a pet supply company for two freestanding buildings.

“Businesses want to be in Crescent B Commons and Babcock Ranch,” said Matt Buehler, senior vice president of retail for Kitson & Partners. “Those which have already opened are busier than anticipated.”

With Chicago brick-accented facades and architecture reflecting Babcock Ranch’s distinctive style, the shopping center offers outdoor areas for dining, large oak trees, a children’s play area, shaded gathering spots and benches.

“Babcock Ranch was founded on the principles of green building, improved energy efficiency and conserving natural resources,” said Kitson. “Everything we do is built on the premise that smart growth and sustainability is best for the land and improves the quality of life for our residents, business owners and their employees. Certification from the Florida Green Building Coalition validates this philosophy and provides impartial verification that we’re fulfilling our commitment.”
