Coffee shop, restaurant coming to Holly Hill’s Shops at Marina

The Shops at Marina Grande retail building at 235 Riverside Drive in Holly Hill was built in 2007. Its storefront windows, have long depicted potential uses for the spaces including a restaurant, coffee shop and clothing store, but the building has remained empty with the exception of a small sales office. New owners Mike Panaggio and Tarek Naemo plan to finally fill it with an actual coffee shop, restaurant/bistro and storage center.

The business partners, Tarek Naemo and Mike Panaggio, bought the mostly vacant retail building at 235 Riverside Drive a year ago and plan to fill it with a storage center for residents of the twin-tower Marina Grande on the Halifax condominiums, visible in the distance, as well as an upscale coffee shop and a restaurant/bistro.
