The city issued a permit April 19 for Sephora to build-out a beauty-products store in the Mandarin Landing shopping center.
Management Resource Systems Inc. of High Point, North Carolina, is the contractor for the $650,913 project to build-out the 4,830-square-foot store at 10601 San Jose Blvd.
Jacksonville-based Regency Centers Corp. owns and has been upgrading and redeveloping the property anchored by Whole Foods Market at San Jose Boulevard and Hartley Road, north of Interstate 295.
Sephora, an international brand, is shown in a 4,830-square-foot space south of Whole Foods.
Sephora USA Inc. is based in San Francisco. It is part of Paris-based LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, a luxury goods group.
Sephora.com shows the retailer has one store in Jacksonville in St. Johns Town Center and four shops within Kohl’s stores in Jacksonville and Fleming Island.
Regency Centers has been renovating Mandarin Landing by removing about 20,500 square feet of space and adding up to 16,800 square feet among two new buildings.
Among previously disclosed new tenants, Baptist Health will lease the 24,650-square-foot closed and renovated Office Depot store.
Another Broken Egg Cafe is leasing about 3,500 square feet in space near Sephora in the addition closest to Whole Foods.
A site plan confirms that Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurants will lease within a 10,600-square-foot stand-alone space across the access drive from the Firestone auto care center.
Patrick McKinley, Regency Centers senior vice president and senior market officer, said in March 2023 that the center’s layout will be reconfigured by demolishing retail space next to the former Office Depot, which closed in November 2020, and building new space next to Whole Foods.
The retail space between Whole Foods and the former Office Depot was demolished and a new 9,800-square-foot Building 5 was developed to the south of Whole Foods. That is where Another Broken Egg and Sephora, as well as European Wax Center, are leasing.
Pad 4 is near San Jose Boulevard and that is where Cooper’s Hawk is shown. Cooper’s Hawk will be built in a portion of the parking lot closest to San Jose Boulevard.
Regency Centers said a portion of the parking lot will be modified and there will be landscape changes to improve customer connectivity and enhance traffic patterns “for easily and safely visiting shops and restaurants.”
There also are facade renovations.
Property records show the center was built in phases starting in 1976 through 2008.
Whole Foods opened the 51,701-square-foot Mandarin store in 2008.
The center, on 17.3 acres, also is anchored by Kirkland’s Home and Enza’s Italian Restaurant.
Regency Centers is a national owner, operator and developer of shopping centers.
Regency Centers also is adding a Sephora store at the Pablo Plaza shopping center it owns at 1822 S. Third St. in Jacksonville Beach. The center’s site plan shows Sephora will lease a 4,103-square-foot store between Great Clips and HomeGoods.
