Specific shopping centers in Dana Point that already carry credible co-tenancy for this use. Listed in approximate order of fit.
Del Prado Avenue off Pacific Coast Highway
Anchors / key tenants: revitalized town-center dining and boutiques
The walkable revitalized core of Dana Point's town center — Spanish-style architecture, mile-long pedestrian shopping/dining corridor. Tilts toward chef-driven restaurants, boutiques, and lifestyle retail rather than daily-needs.
Dana Point Harbor Drive
Anchors / key tenants: harbor-facing seasonal and visitor retail
Harbor retail — seasonal visitor pattern, boat-charter and dock-traffic cross-shop. Currently in long-term redevelopment. Better for visitor-driven food and lifestyle concepts than daily-needs.
