Historic Downtown Panama City

Panama City takes pride in its historic shops lining Harrison Avenue and neighboring streets in the downtown area. The beautifully restored buildings offer a unique shopping experience. Antique, novelty, jewelry, clothing, photography, and one of a kind shops are interspersed with quaint restaurants and dance studios. This historic district is within strolling distance of St. Andrew Bay and downtown marinas.

Panama City Mall

In the aftermath of Hurricane Michael and devastating impact the storm had on the Panama City area, Panama City Mall management has been working diligently with all impacted parties, individuals, tenants, insurance companies, lenders and the community at-large.
While certain spaces in the Mall were damaged less than other portions, most of the Mall including the Common Areas, sustained significant storm and wind damage. Above all, water damage throughout was catastrophic.


Immediately after the storm, third party experts, engineers, and consultants were retained to assist with stabilizing the Mall, assessing integrity of structural and mechanical systems, and testing moisture infiltration. The vast majority of tenants removed inventory and fixtures from their leased premises during the process, providing an opportunity for Mall Management to assess the full extent of damage. As a result, officials made the decision to keep the Panama City Mall closed for the foreseeable future. “This decision is an extremely difficult one for us because we know it impacts the community and our dedicated on-site employees. Unfortunately, the order of magnitude to rebuild comes at too great a cost. It is economically unfeasible to rebuild as the cost far exceeds the repaired value of the mall” said Charlie Hendon, President of Hendon Properties. “We’ve been fortunate to serve customers here for the last 42 years and are humbled by the meaningful relationships fostered in that time.”

Although a majority of the mall is closed, it remains a shopping destination with the adjacent Shoppes at Panama City, the Starbucks/Vitamin Shoppe Outparcel, New York’s Famous Pizza, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Best Buy, America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses, Palm Beach Tan, Wayback Burger, and Lisa’s Nails. Mall Ownership has entered into discussions with Planet Fitness, Bed Bath & Beyond, Dillard’s, and JCPenney to identify options to operate as outside tenants through the transition and to engage their support for a future redevelopment of the site.
