The city issued a permit Dec. 13 for the $1.63 million tenant build-out for the Marshalls off-price retail store at the closed Staples store in St. Johns Town Center.
VCC LLC of Little Rock, Arkansas, is the contractor for the 23,694-square-foot project.
The city issued a permit Oct. 5 for VCC to turn the closed Staples into shell space for later tenant build-out for Marshalls at a cost of $526,837.
That takes the total investment to $2.16 million.
Staples closed the office supplies and services store at 10261 River Marsh Drive as of July 23.
Marshalls has six area stores in North and West Jacksonville, Mandarin, Jacksonville Beach, Orange Park and St. Augustine.
TJX acquired Marshalls in 1995. The TJX Companies Inc. also owns T.J. Maxx, HomeGoods and other brands.
The company, based in Framingham, Massachusetts, says it is the leading off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions in the U.S. and worldwide with more than 4,600 stores.
T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods have five area stores each.
