Jacksonville is a city that’s always growing – but sometimes it’s easy to lose track of how far we’ve come. To help add some perspective, we’ve compiled a list of 15 things that Jacksonville didn’t have just 15 years ago – but that we do have now!
It’s hard to imagine a time when St. Johns Town Center wasn’t the dominant retail and lifestyle center of Jacksonville.
But sure enough, fifteen years ago the Town Center was in the early construction stages. The first phase of the outdoor mall opened in 2005, followed by Phase II in 2007.
The area has grown extensively since opening, with attractions such as Topgolf and IKEA adding onto the outskirts of the center.
One year after the first phase of SJTC opened, River City Marketplace opened near the airport. This means Jax has gained not one, but two outdoor malls since the turn of the century.
