Regency Square Mall (Jacksonville)

[2] To give back to the community, the mall operators turned over thousands of dollars in coins from their decorative fountains to charities.

In 1990, the Regency Twin theater on the northeast corner of the property closed, and Picadilly's Cafeteria moved from inside the mall to the new structure they built in its place.

Regency announced formal conduct and dress codes in 1999 to deal with offensive or intimidating behavior and gang activity.

[14] Starting in 2003, General Growth began talking with other retailers, such as Kohl's (which did not operate any stores in Florida at the time) to fill the space vacated by Montgomery Ward.

[2] On January 26, 2008, a suspect was killed by an off-duty policeman who was called to pursue a fleeing man who had stolen a pair of jeans from the mall's Belk store.

The back-to-back closures of Sears and Belk left Dillard's Clearance Center and JCPenney as the only anchors at Regency Square.

[19] In 2017, International Decor Outlet sued mall owners Namdar and Mason citing an instance where mall ownership ignored tenant complaints about a leaking roof and chose to paint over the water stains to hide them from view, which allowed for the growth of mold.

[20] Other lawsuits from tenants alleged that the mall's air conditioning is often broken and that roaches are allowed to freely roam the property.

[21] The departure of JCPenney on October 18, 2020 left Dillard's Clearance Center as the mall's sole anchor.

[23] In November of 2022 Regency Square Mall was given a warning citation from the City of Jacksonville’s Municipal Code Compliance Division.

The citation was given to the property owner, citing various commercial violations in the common areas, including a roof leak, interior ceiling damage, exposed wiring and flooring.

In the 2010 Arlington vision plan, citizens recognized the Regency Square Mall property as being ripe for redevelopment, with the potential to attract new businesses and consumers.

The comprehensive report covered environmental, economic, and quality of life issues in the Greater Arlington region.

[26] In February 2014, a press release announced the sale of Regency Square for $13 million to a pair of businesses from Great Neck, New York: Mason Asset Management and Namdar Realty Group.

[8] In the summer of 2016, International Decor Outlet (IDO) was expected to open up to 80 storefronts in Regency Square Mall.
