Bay Street Station
This proposed development will include two highrise hotels (16 & 15 stories), an office tower (11 stories), a health club, megaplex movie theater, retail shops and restaurants.
Brooklyn Park
This will be a six block mixed use infill development featuring 150,000 square feet of commercial space, a hotel and 800 multi-family residential units. JTA also plans to construct an at-grade skyway station to serve this development. Construction was intended to begin last year, but this project appears to be delayed.
Duval County Courthouse
The long delayed Duval County Courthouse project is scheduled to break ground before the end of the year. If this happens, this project could become a catalyst for associated infill development in a desolate area of Downtown. A major question that has not been answered is how the city will make sure the courthouse grounds are integrated with the surrounding area.
Jackson Square
This proposed Transit-Oriented-Development (TOD) will include 900 apartments and up to 350,000 square feet of office/retail space.
Jacksonville Transportation Center
This proposed multi-modal transportation center will potentially serve Amtrak, Commuter Rail, Bus Rapid Transit, JTA buses and Greyhound. Street level retail space will also be a part of this project.
Laura Street Transfer Station
This Transit-Adjacent-Development (TAD) will feature 11,700 square feet of office/retail space, replacing a surface parking lot.
122 Ocean
This project will convert the old Haydon Burns Library into office/retail space. The development will also include an urban specialty grocery market.
Prado Walk
This development will bring additional retail/dining space to Riverside, near St. Vincent's Medical Center.
Suntrust Tower/Jacksonville Landing Parking Garage

Although Cameron Kuhn's plans for Riverwatch Tower have been canceled, a former investor who now owns the land has plans to move forward with the construction of a parking garage. The garage will serve the Jacksonville Landing and Suntrust Tower.
Riverplace Tower West Parking Garage
This proposed 179,000 square foot garage will include room for 470 parking spaces and street level retail uses. The garage is also designed to allow space for future high-rise development.
200 Riverside

A 111,300 square feet of office space and 250 residential units. - proposed 2008 ground breaking (the clock is ticking)
Wolfson Children's Hospital Tower
This 12 story, 350,000 square foot hospital tower is scheduled to break ground this year.

October 06, 2008, 09:31:46 AMIt's amazing how many parking garages a city this size needs.

October 06, 2008, 09:35:31 AMMaybe vertical parking will free up / dry up surface parking lots & allow for better use of space long term, however.

Jason
October 06, 2008, 09:48:03 AMNice list of projects that still have a chance. Many of them BIG difference makers in expanding the urban fabric.
Any news on the proposed Baptist Hospital 4 story tower?
thelakelander
October 06, 2008, 10:07:16 AMGood question, I never noticed that. My guess is that they figure the skyway will never be extended in that direction.
Jason
October 06, 2008, 10:09:49 AMI was thinking the same. I think the convention center station has always been the terminus of that leg of the line, even in early planning.

October 06, 2008, 10:55:28 AMJust as JIA and MCO have a corridor through the parking garagesm the new Jacksonville Terminal project should do the same. One skyscraper on the West side of I-95 and we have to wreck the parking facility?
Come on y'all THINK!
NEVER - EVER - EVER - Box in rail of ANY kind. ditto for other fixed transit. Stub track (dead end) railroad terminals fell out of favor shortly after the 1919 station opened. We were an exception to the rule because so many trains were broken down here and they could use both through and "Head House Tracks". But for a city wide micro-metro - doesn't work, won't work, can't work. A sharp jog back to Bay ending in the air (just like the east end) makes worlds more sense.

Jacksonville, Florida
12.5 Acre Mixed Use Development
Residential, Retail, Office, Hotel
$250,000,000 project cost
Estimated Ground Breaking Spring 2009
www.brooklynparkjax.com
Miles is helping to reinvent the North Brooklyn district of Jacksonville by creating a modern-day, mixed-use village that reflects Riverside cool and easily connects to downtown's front door. Unlike anything else in Jacksonville's urban core, this Miles development redefines and reinvents a bygone neighborhood, while retaining its qualities of charm, connectivity and sense of community. Thoughtful design of this mixed-use neighborhood will factor in pedestrian friendly features with human-scale streetscapes that cohesively blend multiple residential types.

A rendering from 2006
A rendering from 2007 of the residential tower component
The project was supposed to include 120,000 square feet of office space and 250 condos. I'm sure the condo component is on ice.

October 06, 2008, 01:31:01 PMI like the updated image much better. The old one looked too much like the main library.
I really hope this one gets built.

October 06, 2008, 04:44:42 PMThe most recent plans for 200 Riverside have scrapped the condo units and plan on including
a 200 room hotel. I'll see if I can find some more photos.

October 07, 2008, 01:58:08 AMWe are still in for permitting. Once we are out of permitting, we should be ready to start. My guess is probably 60 to 90 days.

Are you going to be breaking ground on Phase 1 soon? The land has been cleared for a while.

October 07, 2008, 07:31:45 AMYes, this project is located next to the Prime Osborn Convention Center and the proposed intermodal hub. The development site is the vacant land bordering the Skyway between Jefferson Strett and the convention center.
