Today, we're reminiscing about a past project at St. John’s Town Center in Jacksonville, Florida!

We had the privilege of helping expand this premier lifestyle center with the addition of Nordstrom, bringing 30,000 SF of new retail space to the vibrant shopping destination. Our team handled the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design, along with site utilities, fire alarms, and building management systems.

We were grateful to collaborate with Simon Property Group, BHM Architects, and England, Thims & Miller Inc., to enhance the shopping experience at St. John’s Town Center.

The impact of this project is still felt today, and we’re proud to have been a part of it. 🛒✨
