For some reason I just don't believe it

Looking at these renderings, it just seems too good to be true. I love the second rendering that shows all the people hanging out in the outdoor seating area.

I Believe

Downtown is ALMOST there. Landmar is a great, reputable developer. If anyone can and will do it, it's them.

Ed Burr resigns as LandMar CEO

By LIZ FLAISIG, The Times-Union

Local developer Ed Burr has stepped down from leading the company he founded 20 years ago.

The LandMar Group LLC late this afternoon issued a press release saying Burr was resigning as chief executive officer after an unsuccessful bid to regain controlling interest from Crescent Resources LLC.

Crescent gained controlling interest of the Jacksonville-based company in 1999.

Burr did not announce what his future ventures would be.

LandMar took over the troubled 40-acre Shipyards development in 2005 from the city.

Burr visited Mayor John Peyton this afternoon to assure him that "the city and taxpayers are protected very well," Mayoral Spokeswoman Susie Wiles said.

LandMar's release noted the Shipyards "will continue" as part of its portfolio.
