History
When the mall was being built, developers JP Realty filed a lawsuit against the city of Orem for offering incentives to keep ZCMI from relocating its store from University Mall.[3] Also, the Provo city council wanted JP Realty to call the mall "Utah Valley Towne Centre" instead.[4]
The mall ultimately opened in 1998, causing J. C. Penney to relocate from University Mall.[5][6] General Growth Properties acquired the mall in 2002 when it purchased JP Realty's portfolio.[7] In 2008 the MTV film American Mall was filmed at the mall.[8] Brixton Capital purchased the mall in February 2016, and Jones Lange LaSalle manages the mall.[9]
A BRT station opened on the east side of the mall near J.C. Penney in August 2018 as part of the UVX system between Orem and Provo operated by the UTA. The station is called Towne Centre Boulevard.
On January 15, 2020, Dillards announced that a location would be built at University Place in Orem in early 2021 that would replace the current Provo location.
