New Shopping and Luxury at Boca Raton Mall Town Center

If you’re a Boca Raton resident, you may have noticed the heavy construction of the Town Center at Boca Raton Mall for awhile.

Well, the results are finally showing.

The first sign is the new Grand Lux that replaced the old TGI Friday, stretching 11,000 square feet with more than 300 seats. But officials still have a lot of work to do.

The renovations promise to add new life to the mall, which will expand more than 200,000 square feet with luxurious, European architecture and new stores. A California Pizza Kitchen will move into an area once occupied by an Italian restaurant. Macy’s will expand its store, adding 82,000 square feet. The Crate & Barrel will grow into a two-level outlet near the edge of the mall.

The town center will also emphasize an open-air environment with a few restaurants that will incorporate outside seating. And for all those shoppers who felt the grudge of searching for parking at the mall, officials will develop another parking garage.

All this reconstruction will make shopping in Boca Raton a vibrant experience.
