Nordstrom confirmed for St. Johns Town Center

[blizz01]

Can we get a K-Mart & Target comparison too, please?  Because I simply didn't realize that I lived in a Wal-Mart city.  Seriously, did you make that up?  All this time I thought that we lived in a Waffle House city.

Or a Mattress Store city... Seriously, is there any need to have 5 different mattress stores within a mile of each other?

[fsujax]

Blizz, Atlanta would be a Waffle House city, they are based in Norcross, when I lived there I had three on my one street alone!

I bet you that the mileage between Wal-Marts in Jax is identical to many metro areas across the country. Jacksonvillians are so fascinated with the stupid lowly self-perceived 'hillbilly image". Remember the Super Bowl in Jax, when some national hack said that we have more Waffle Houses than any city (or something along those lines) well turns out the Washington DC has more Waffle Houses than Jax; Does that make DC a hick city? Gimme a damn break with the stupid playing it down BS. Just because we don't have a large top tier department store like Neiman, or Saks (which we don't have the demo population for yet, but persistently argue anyway) that don't make us a freaking low class city. Between Jax and St Auggie there is plenty of decent shopping. So cry me an effing river.

[Seraphs]

yeah!!!  Nordstroms!!!!!  I never doubted it for a second.  Well, maybe a second, but i knew we could do it.

Sure we have the demographic for Neiman Marcus, or Saks 5Th Avenue, or Macy's, or Ikea, or Bass Pro, or ANY OTHER STORE THAT DESIRES TO LOCATE HERE.  We are around 1.4 million persons strong and our income is in the upper 150 of 500 Florida places. St. Johns County is number 8 in income, so Wal-Marts or not, we are actually among the best paid and best educated places in the State of Florida.

I-10 East, for the love of Pete, it's not Jacksonvillians, it's JAXSONS. That is the correct and historic word for the citizens of Jacksonville, thus we have things like a cat named Jaxson-de-Ville.

Site work approved for Nordstrom wing at St. Johns Town Center

The City has approved the site-work permit to make way for fashion retailer Nordstrom and two other buildings at the St. Johns Town Center, creating a new wing to the Southside shopping center.
A permit application shows 9.9 acres will be cleared at 4835 Town Center Crossing. St. Johns Town Center is at Butler Boulevard and the Interstate 295 East Beltway.

Plans show the site as Phase 3 of the center.

St. Johns Town Center manager expects fall announcements for Phase 3 Jacksonville stores

http://www.jaxdailyrecord.com/showstory.php?Story_id=539547

[avonjax]

went to the Microsoft store in Orlando at Florida Mall last week. Looks just like Apple. Nice store though.

[Captain Zissou]

The daily record article says that a portion of the new shops will be 2 story, in addition to the 2 story Nordstrom. On the Markets at Town Center siteplan (the regional map under tenant info on the website) it shows that the potential phase 4 of the towncenter would mirror phase 3 on the eastern side of phase 2. There are 3 "permissible parking structures" shown on the siteplan.

[thelakelander]

Nordstrom phase broke ground today.  It will be a pedestrian only wing.

http://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/news/2013/06/03/st-johns-town-centers-phase-iii.html

Phase III constuction begins June 3, 2013. The new wing will house eight additional stores and Northeast Florida’s only Nordstrom. The Phase III wing will be located on the southwest end of the property between Louis Vuitton and Brooks Brothers and will feature more than 158,000 square feet of retail space. The anticipated opening for the new wing is October 3, 2014.

New surface lots will be added during the construction as well bringing an additional 600 parking spaces in new surface lots located behind Ethan Allen and Ovinte, along Big Island Drive and in the East parking lot. The new parking areas are expected to open in phases with the first new parking lot opening in early October 2013. All new parking lots will be completed by November 15 in time for holiday shopping.

We understand that the construction of the new wing will present challenges for our customers and apologize for the convenience. We look forward to bringing Nordstrom to Jacksonville in 2014!

That's great news. Now hope fully one day we'll get a Macy's here soon...hopefully they put one in Avenues or Regency (wishful thinking)

[I-10east]

The new anchor will be surrounded by about 35,000 square feet of smaller shops and the site plan names New Balance, Disney, Rosenblum's, Free People, Sperry, G by Guess and Arhaus as potential small-shop tenants.

Arhaus Furniture is set to open 2014 at the SJTC.
