History
Fashion Mall opened with Lord and Taylor as an anchor store in 1988. However, Macy's opened in time for the busy 1988 Holiday shopping season before the rest of the mall was completed. The mall struggled to attract retail tenants due to competition from Broward Mall, located about a block away. The Lord and Taylor store closed in 2003, when the chain exited the state of Florida. After a series of sales, the property was acquired by U.S. Capital Holdings Group in 2004. The Macy's remained open until 2005, when Hurricane Wilma caused significant damage to the store; on 26 July 2006, Macy's announced it was permanently closing the Fashion Mall store.
