Celebrating the Grand Re-launch of Marina Shopping Center: Executing a Modern Vision

Grupe Huber is excited to announce the re-launch of the beautifully remodeled Marina Shopping Center. As we commemorate this neighborhood center’s 50th anniversary, this thoughtful remodel symbolizes our ongoing commitment to excellence, innovation, and community connection.

Our vision for this project was simple: modernize a space that enhances the customer experience while fostering a welcoming environment for businesses and the local community alike. The updates to the Marina Shopping Center include: new permanent shaded seating with youth play areas, fresh facades and festive themed banners, improved signage and enhanced visual and on-site security, all reflecting our belief that details matter. Elements were researched and designed with the contemporary customer in mind ensuring that Marina Shopping Center extends its 50 year role as a vibrant hub for both shopping and social gatherings.

Anchored In Purpose

Our belief is that success is not just about completing projects but creating spaces that will benefit our community for years to come. The remodel of the Marina Shopping Center is a testament to that philosophy. “Today’s customer is looking for a safe destination to eat, play and shop. For example; two pet lovers who’d like to meet for coffee in a dog friendly outdoor courtyard or a softball team celebration benefiting from the flexibility of both outdoor and indoor dining. In Stockton, we can be outside for nine month’s out of the year. Our team observed that Marina Center had two very large areas that were underutilized. Since Grupe Huber’s vision is to support our neighborhood and the lifestyles of the residents, we reimagined these areas to promote wonderful, engaging outdoor spaces” shared Sandy Huber, Grupe Huber co-owner and principal.

“This shopping center, and this area, is the gateway to the Delta, with over a 1,000 miles of welcoming waterways. Sandy said, “It was such a joy to think about all the different ways we could explore that, so that when somebody drives up, they feel like they have a sense of arrival at a nautically themed destination.”

By blending contemporary aesthetics with a nautical theme that reflects Stockton’s rich Delta history, we’ve built a center that will serve as a destination for families, shoppers, and visitors for generations.

Sailing Ahead

Navigating the course for this remodel took collaboration, patience, financial planning and vision. We’re confident that the improvements will benefit everyone who visits Marina Shopping Center and make it a focal point for commerce and community activities.
