Commerce Pointe is being developed as a joint venture among several St. George owners, including the Layton and Jennings families. JMI Property Services will be the project developer and manager, JMI Constructors will be the general contractor and Colliers International’s St. George office will be the leasing agency. Plans for the venue were unveiled at St. George Area Economic Development’s annual economic summit

“This project has been more than 15 years in the making,” said Steve Jennings, president of JMI Property Services. “We look forward to introducing a diverse mixture of restaurants and retailers to energize, strengthen and reinvigorate the southwest gateway of the city.”

Highlighting the new restaurant offerings at Commerce Pointe will be St. George’s second full-service Chick-fil-A along with Jersey Mike’s Subs, Blaze Pizza, LongHorn Steakhouse, Crumbl Cookies, Mo Bettah’s Hawaiian Style, Taco Bell and Beans & Brews. Go Wireless Verizon will also join the growing tenant list.

“The number of national credit tenants joining Commerce Pointe demonstrates both the economic strength of the St. George market and the incredible quality Commerce Pointe offers companies looking to enter and grow market share within Southern Utah,” said Troy Scheel, vice president at Colliers International.{/mprestriction}
