The original layout of REGENCY SQUARE. At the time, the 670,000 square foot dumbell plan complex housed sixty stores and services. At its March 1967 dedication, it was billed as the largest enclosed shopping center in Florida. It would hold this distinction until October of the same year, when South Florida's gargantuan PALM BEACH MALL was completed.

The first REGENCY SQUARE expansion, done between 1979 and 1981, added a West Mall. It brought the tenant list up to a whopping 160 stores and services. Two new anchor stores -Sears and a full-size Ivey's- were built. May-Cohens was also enlarged. It became a walk-thru anchor, connecting the addition (in gray) with the original structure (in black).
