Orange Park Mall could soon be under new ownership.
Washington Prime Group plans to sell its entire portfolio of 50 shopping centers, including Orange Park Mall, as it lays off employees at its corporate headquarters, as first reported by Jacksonville Daily Record.
This would be the second mall in Jacksonville to recently undergo a sale after Blackwater Development finalized its purchase of Regency Square Mall earlier this month.
The property purge includes 10 malls and shopping centers in Florida.
The Orange Park Mall turns 50 years old this year and is the Jacksonville area’s second oldest indoor mall, behind Regency Square Mall — soon to be The Nexus at Regency — which opened in 1967.
The 950,000-square-foot property at 1910 Wells Road opened sits on 77 acres, making it smaller than both Regency’s 1.3 million square feet and The Avenues mall’s 1.1 million square feet.
It has more than 110 stores, with anchor stores including Dillard’s, Belk, JCPenney and Dick’s Sporting Goods. It also has an Old Navy, Books-A-Million and AMC Theatres.
Sears, which closed in 2020, was previously one of its biggest draws as well.
There is no official timeline for when the sale will be completed nor a listed asking price yet.
