NORFOLK, Va., June 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Simon, a global leader in premier shopping, dining and entertainment destinations, announced today the opening of Norfolk Premium Outlets^®, bringing a variety of sought-after outlet retail to the Norfolk, Chesapeake and Virginia Beach-areas.

"We are confident that the combination of a vibrant store mix and family-friendly amenities will make Norfolk Premium Outlets a favorite for both residents and the many tourists visiting this dynamic area."

Norfolk Premium Outlets boasts a variety of amenities that sets it apart from other centers. The village-style setting incorporates a sophisticated, contemporary design featuring covered walkways and spacious courtyards with seating, a fountain, a fireplace, public artwork and vibrant landscaping. The center also offers amenities for the community, including a boardwalk and walking trail surrounding Lake Wright, as well as a gazebo overlooking the waterfront. Additionally, shoppers have access to a child's play area and Market Hall, with dining options and outdoor café seating overlooking the lake.

Visitors will notice many elements at Norfolk Premium Outlets that commemorate local heritage and history. Four distinct courts - Chesapeake, James, Potomac and Shenandoah - are each named after the great waterways and bodies of water that comprise "The Hampton Roads," with their design created to honor the history of the maritime commerce that gave the area its strength and diversity. Additionally, the gazebo located by Lake Wright was inspired by boating and ocean life and designed to reflect the traditional architectural style of many Chesapeake Bay lighthouses and boat houses. This resting place serves as the entrance way to the 1.32-mile scenic walking trail.

The 332,000 square-foot center is located at 1600 Premium Outlets Blvd. in Norfolk, Virginia. For more information on the opening celebration, visit the Norfolk Premium Outlets website at premiumoutlets.com/norfolk.
