Our Plan
Crystal River Commons will be a mixed-use town center that is designed to eloquently blend in with the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Crystal River Commons also meets the County Land Use Plan and Vision for a Town Center Complex.
Details
With a focus on convenience and quality in a beautiful setting, there’s no other space like this in Crystal River.
Once completed, Crystal River Commons will be an open-air, pedestrian-friendly town center with general commercial and retail shopping, in addition to professional medical and business offices. Our integrated retail and office space is unique to the area.
Nestled within the quaint Crystal River community, this mixed-use district will provide visitors with more than traditional shopping and dining experiences. It will provide a walkable outdoor atmosphere where visitors can spend the day shopping and dining with friends, enjoying the picturesque Crystal River community and perhaps even accomplish a little business. Crystal River Commons will also include site features such as nature trails, wide sidewalks, and bicycle pathways.

Economic Enhancement
Crystal River Commons is a commercial infill development that will enhance the economy, create new jobs and opportunities and add millions of dollars in tax and revenue to the community.
Once our full economic study is complete, it will be easy to recognize all of the financial benefits this project will bring to Crystal River.
Traffic
Crystal River Commons is located on the northeast corner of US 19 and CR 494 (Ozello Trail). We understand that traffic on these roads may be a concern. Citrus County and the FDOT have implemented an Access Management Plan to adequately manage traffic now and in the future.
Our plans include the construction of a new road between Ozello Trail and Venable Street, which will reduce traffic at the US 19 and Venable Street intersection – one of the worst intersections in the county! This new road will provide an alternative east-west travel route – something that people have wanted for a long time. It is over one mile in length and will provide a new county hurricane evacuation route.

Traffic signal improvement at the Ozello Trail will significantly enhance safety. All traffic plans will fully comply with the newly adopted US 19 Access Management Ordinance.
As a large-scale retail land-use, Crystal River Commons will add significantly less traffic to area roads than a large-scale residential project would.
Additionally, by adding a new retail, restaurant, and office development to this area, Crystal River Commons will service the existing local residents, thereby shortening the distance individuals will have to drive to shopping, dinning and employment destinations.
