On Monday, the Destin City Council approved a new two-story parking garage for McGuire’s in Destin.

The project is located at 90 Sibert Avenue, with the property totaling approximately 0.43 acres. The applicant, Gregory Uzdevenes, on behalf of William N. Martin, is proposing to construct a two-story parking structure to serve the McGuire’s restaurant, as well as the Harborview Shopping Center.

  • The parking structure will allow for 58 parking spaces and 9 bicycle spaces.
  • This will bring the total parking for the area to 241 spaces.

Additionally, the parking garage will have one entrance/exit that will be on the Sibert Avenue side. The original plan did have two entrances/exits but it was ultimately decided that more parking spaces could be added with one.

“I’ve been involved with the McGuire’s both here and in Pensacola for 25 years,” said Gregory Uzdevenes. “This piece of property is pretty much useless as there is a 25 foot embankment coming off the back of the existing shopping center.”

  • That area has been primarily used for employee parking.

“They’re [McGuire’s] going to spend a fortune on this and it is going to improve the parking,” added Uzdevenes. “It’s going to look fantastic.”

The parking structure will not be general public parking, but is intended to serve patrons of McGuire’s restaurant, as well as the Harborview Shopping Center.
