The roofed expansion of COLONIAL PLAZA created Florida's second enclosed shopping center. It followed Fort Lauderdale's CORAL RIDGE SHOPPING PLAZA, which had been dedicated a week earlier.

The fully-enclosed concourse (in dark gray) was built between an existing strip center and new Jordan Marsh. With the improvement, COLONIAL PLAZA MALL encompassed around 600,000 leasable square feet and housed fifty-seven stores and services.
