TOWN CENTER TO EXPAND


A massive 25% expansion plan has begun at Town Center mall to add shops and restaurants, and to move restaurants to the edges of the mall and create more of a “cafĂ©” atmosphere, a “village concept with an open air feeling, parking close to the store entrances and open patio dining areas” as posted in a memo around the mall.

Built more than 2 decades ago, the mall is now officially within the Boca city limits. Restaurant expansions include Legal Seaafoods and TGI Fridays, and include adding parking and an elevated walkway. Crate and Barrel will also expand as will Macy’s. A future expansion will add 51,682 sq ft of “general (as yet undefined) land area, subject to future site plan reviews and approvals.”
Stores currently counted as anchors include Sears, Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Saks 5th Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
