North Myrtle Beach is getting a new luxury shopping center.

Lake View Commons is a luxury strip mall at 900 Highway 17 South in North Myrtle Beach.

The 14,000-square-foot building will feature a steakhouse named 900 Prime, a high-end clothing shop, a Riccobene Associates Family Dentistry and other stores.

One space at Lake View is still available, according to the strip mall’s Facebook.

Michael King is the CEO and Founder of KingOne Properties and is the developer of Lake View Commons. He said the strip mall would open once the steakhouse was ready, projected to be in early spring 2024.

King added work on the building would cost eight million dollars, and including the land, totaled $10 million.

“I’ve always tried to concentrate on bringing class and style to our area,” King said. “Every community needs a mix of every dynamic, and I’ve just always liked trying to bring the high end here.”

A Myrtle Beach real estate agent since the 1980s, King said part of the project is bringing the aesthetics of Florida here.

Lake View is partly inspired by the South Florida architecture of Italian architect Addison Mizner, one of the most prominent in the state during the 1920s.

“I like South Florida, and I like what it has to offer, its architectural style, and I thought it would work really well here in Myrtle Beach,” he said. “We have beautiful beaches, wonderful southern hospitality, and still, a very affordable price to get what you get here in our area.”

Another part of the project caters to residents of the Northeast and Florida regions, who have moved to the area in droves in recent years.

Businesses have opened in the Myrtle Beach area to address the growing demand, and King said Lake View Commons will help that effort.

“We’ll have people move from the Northeast and go down to South Florida, and it’s a little too much,” King said. “So they’ll move up in this area, and they’re used to high-end stuff up in the northeast, as well as in the Miami Fort Lauderdale area... They’re desiring the type of things that you find in the Northeast or in South Florida.”

More projects are in the works to fulfill that desire, too.

Another Lake View Commons is coming too, King said. A second 22,000-square-foot building with restaurants and boutique shopping is in the planning stages and should be completed in 2025, he added.
