Mizner Park is a high-end shopping, residential, and entertainment district located in the affluent downtown neighborhood ofBoca Raton, Florida.[2] The district consists of a collection of high-end shops and restaurants with luxury apartments built in a Mediterranean Revival architectural style. The mall opened in 1991 on the site of the former Boca Mall, which opened in 1974.
The Centre for the Arts at Mizner Park is located on the north end of the development, which includes anamphitheatre and theBoca Raton Museum of Art.
Cooper Carry designed Mizner as a classicalMediterranean Revival town center. It is named for architectAddison Mizner, founder of Boca Raton.
The site of Mizner Park was previously a conventional enclosed shopping center called Boca Mall, which opened in 1974.[3] Boca Mall was originally anchored byBritt's andJefferson Ward. The former closed in 1982 and was temporarily occupied byIBM offices until 1985, when it was converted toLevitz Furniture.[4] In 1989, Levitz relocated and Jefferson Ward closed. The colloquial term "dive bar" may have entered widespread use as a result of a bar located in the mall in its final days.[5] The closure of these anchors led to the mall's demolition and redevelopment.[6]
Mizner Park opened in 1991, expanding in 1996 with aJacobson's department store.[7] Jacobson's closed in July 2002 after the chain declared bankruptcy, and its location became Robb & Stucky Interiors in 2003.[8] After Robb & Stucky also declared bankruptcy, its store was closed as well.[9] The building was converted toLord & Taylor in 2013.[10]
It was home to theNational Cartoon Museum from 1992 to 2002.[11]
In 2017, Ouzo Bay opened at Mizner Park.[12]
