With a permit issued, fashion designer Marc Jacobs can build-out at St. Johns Town Center.
JRM Construction Management Florida LLC of Boca Raton is the contractor for the $185,000 tenant build-out for the 2,786-square-foot project at 4812 River City Drive, Unit 119.
The Talbots women’s clothing store has been in city review for a split of the 6,269-square-foot store at that address into at least two spaces at an estimated project cost of $250,000.
It looks like Marc Jacobs will take one of them.
An associate at Talbots could not comment Dec. 30 on the retailer’s plans for the remaining space.
