It's too bad these stores aren't going downtown instead.

Re: St. Johns Town Center II Photo Update

it's almost getting big enough that they need a people-move of some sort.  otherwise, they're going to have people parking at one end and driving to the other and backing up their parking-lot traffic.  perhaps a rail-trolley could be useful.

Re: St. Johns Town Center II Photo Update

The Louisiana Boardwalk shopping center in Shreveport, less than half the size of the St. Johns Town Center, includes a small streetcar line to run shoppers from one end to the other.  Anyway, I can't see why Ben Carter would pay for such a thing when shoppers will just drive from one end of the center to the other if they don't want to walk.

they would take it if it were free and easier than driving.  i'd definitely take it, but i like to leave my car behind when i go anywhere.

It won't happen because it would cost the developer money.  There aren't many of them in the business of losing money.

if only the business of losing money made money, then everyone would be doing it.

Re: St. Johns Town Center II Photo Update

That is where city planners would step in and require some sort of transit option for developments of that scale.  Eventually that plan can be enlarged to connect other points of interest via a regional transportation system.  A little vison, that's all it takes.

I'd imagine the rain has set them back a week or two.  My guess would be mid November.

October 26th has been the Grand Opening date for a little while, but it doesn't look like all of the stores will be ready.  I know urban outfitters, abercrombie, and a couple others will for sure be open on the 26th.

Isn't part of the draw of SJTC 'luxury'?  I would think being taken from place to place would fit in with the theme of the mall.  Regardless, I agree they wouldn't pay for it and even if they wanted to, I doubt they would take up road space to lay tracks.

Maybe to blend in with phaseIII when the upscale department stores are built.

It looks like the building in picture 3 will actually have two floors of retail.  Many of the buildings are two stories tall but only have shopping on the first, but I don't think this one is that way.

Re: St. Johns Town Center II Photo Update

Some of the larger Pottery Barn stores, Crate and Barrell stores do have two and three stores.  I doubt this will be the case the SJTC.  It's probably more for looks than anything.

Re: St. Johns Town Center II Photo Update

looks like our tenant list beat the TU by a few weeks.  A few of these stores were mentioned on the forums over a month ago (Aerie, Metropark).

New phase at St. Johns Town Center: The wait is almost over

By DIANA MIDDLETON, The Times-Union

The St. Johns Town Center's second phase is still under construction, but shoppers' wait for the slew of new shops will be over within just a few weeks.

Representatives from Simon Properties released a full list of the phase's retailers for the final phase Wednesday. Most of the tenants have been reported by the Times-Union, but there are a few new names in the mix, including:

- Juicy Couture, a celebrity favorite known for its terry cloth track suits

- Aerie, an offshoot of teen retailer American Eagle

- Lululemon, an athletic wear shop

- True Religion, an upscale denim retailer

- Metropark, a trendy youth-oriented shop

The Times-Union also got a sneak peek at the construction of new phase Wednesday morning. For photos and a full list of retailers, pick up a copy of the Times-Union tomorrow.
