Treasure Coast Square redevelopment raises tenant communication concerns
Key Questions
What is the proposed redevelopment plan for Treasure Coast Square?
The conceptual mixed-use plan calls for 760 residential units through phased demolition while retaining anchor stores Dillard’s and JCPenney. A Martin County Board of County Commissioners study has outlined this vision, though no formal application has been submitted yet.
Why are tenants concerned about the Treasure Coast Square redevelopment?
Tenants have not received any communication from owner Simon Property Group about the plans, leading to widespread disbelief and uncertainty. This lack of information creates retention risks even though the mall maintains strong occupancy above 96%.
How has the value of Treasure Coast Square changed in recent years?
The mall’s value has declined 21% since 2017 amid broader challenges facing traditional retail properties. Despite this drop, occupancy remains robust at 96% or higher.
Has Simon Property Group informed tenants about the redevelopment plans?
No, Simon Property Group has not shared details of the redevelopment with Treasure Coast Square tenants. Reports indicate tenants were left in the dark, prompting confusion and concerns about their leases.
What is the current status of the Treasure Coast Square redevelopment?
The project remains in the conceptual stage with a mixed-use vision proposed but no formal redevelopment application filed. It is described as developing, with phased demolition planned to keep select anchors operational during any transition.
