Treasure Coast Square is a shopping mall in Martin County, Florida, United States. It comprises 115 stores, including anchor stores Dillard's, JCPenney, Macy's, Elev8 Fun, as well as a food court and Regal 16-screen movie theater. The mall is managed by Simon Property Group, and opened in 1987.
History
[edit]Developed by Edward J. DeBartolo, the mall opened in 1987 with original anchor tenants J. C. Penney, Jordan Marsh, and Lord & Taylor.[1] The mall's opening caused the decline of the existing Martin Square Mall in nearby Stuart, from which J. C. Penney relocated, and Boca Mall (now known as Mizner Park) in Boca Raton.[2]
The opening of the mall attracted nearly 800,000 square feet of new retail development in its area in the first ten years of opening.[2]
In 2025, an anchor tenant replaced the Sears department store, which closed in February 2019.[3] Elev8 Fun opened a new 115,000-square foot indoor family entertainment park on May 9, 2025.[4][5] This is the third Elev8 Fun location to open and it utilizes the entirety of the former Sears location. The new entertainment park has been very successful which has prompted new Elev8 Fun locations to open.[6]
Potential redevelopment
[edit]Martin County took the decision to investigate options to redevelop the mall in 2023.[7] This was investigated by the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, who produced redevelopment concepts that reflect market demands for residential properties.[8] The conceptual plans would reduce the amount of retail space, create an open air shopping environment and green spaces, and would change the site so it would be of mixed-use, incorporating residential property. The plan was developed in collaboration with Simon Property Group.[9][10]
