How can I retrieve the text of a clicked element using jQuery's .text property?

I currently have a list of divs that all have unique text. I would like the website to display the value of the text inside the div that you just clicked in a different div. The thing is, this list is very long, and I do not have specific IDs for any values in the list. Is it possible to pull text from that list using $(this).text? I could not get it to work.

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Facilities Management</title>
    <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='stylesheet.css'/>
    <script type='text/javascript' src='script.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div class='wrap'>
        <div class='banner'>Facilities Management</div>
        <div class='menu1'>
            <div class='menu2'> Where do you live? <br><br>
                <div class='buildings'>building 1</div>
                <div class='buildings'>building 2</div>
                <!--- and so and so --->
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class='main'>
        <span id='jstext'></span>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

JQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.buildings').mouseenter(function() {
        $(this).css('background-color','#D8BFD8');
});
    $('.buildings').mouseleave(function() {
        $(this).css('background-color','#F0EAD6');
});
    $('.buildings').click(function() {
        var $buildingName = $(this).text;
        $('span').text($buildingName);
});
});
