MIAMI—St. Johns Town Center North is officially 100% occupied. Together with phase two of St. Johns Town Center and the Markets at Town Center, the centers make up Jacksonville's hottest regional shopping and dining destination.

It's been a long road to full occupancy, though. When The Shopping Center Group leasing agents Stephanie McCullough and Nancy Sumner secured the leasing assignment for St. Johns Town Center North in November 2011, the center was only 86% leased with base rents in the low $20s per square foot.

“As of the end of April, we are 100% leased and have pushed rents to the upper $20s per square foot,” says Sumner. “Stephanie and I remerchandised this center to reflect a more traditional, grocery-anchored center complemented by service providers that create additional cross traffic between tenants.”
