More big retail is on the way for Jacksonville’s St. Johns Town Center area.
The city has approved the site-work permit to make way for fashion retailer Nordstrom and two other buildings at the Town Center, creating a new wing to the Southside shopping center.
And, maps for The Markets at Town Center website show two "proposed" tenants of interest to Jacksonville's luxury-goods shoppers — Neiman Marcus and Saks.
The Markets of Town Center is a separately owned development adjacent to the St. Johns Town Center.
Phase 3 is the proposed department store and adjacent shops totaling 160,000 square feet, boosting overall space to 1.41 million square feet.
Plans for Phase 3 show the two-story department store, previously identified as Nordstrom, and a one-story set of shops and a two-story set of shops that will comprise the Nordstrom wing.
Seattle-based Nordstrom announced in September that it would open a two-level, 124,000-square-foot store in the fall of 2014 at the Town Center. The company said Nordstrom will anchor a new wing on the southwest side of the 1.1 million-square-foot, open-air center, the company said at the time.
Les Morris with Simon Property Group said the new wing would be between Brooks Brothers and Louis Vuitton.
