About Us

Legendary Companies,
the Visionaries of the Emerald Coast

We are founded on values. In 1991 Peter Bos formed Legendary, LLC. on four guiding core values. Concern for the people and the communities we touch. Creativity in all we do. Passion in our approach to business. And a belief that Perfection is a goal worth pursuing.

For four decades, Legendary has been at the forefront of the Emerald Coast’s growth. With a diverse team of talented executives, we are dedicated to ensuring that each of our projects emerges as a true destination, capable of drawing from the largest possible trade areas. The Legendary team is proud to have consistently set the benchmark for quality and hospitality along the Emerald Coast. All told, the Legendary team has built, developed, leased, and managed projects comprised of retail, restaurant, resort, hotel, and mixed-use space valued at more than two billion dollars.
