Construction is well underway on the first phase of East San Marco. When complete, the complex will include Jacksonville's first vertical oriented Publix. East San Marco will take up four square blocks east of Hendricks Avenue and San Marco Square along Atlantic Blvd.
A 4,000 square foot Wachovia Bank building is the first structure to rise on the site. The Peninsula can be seen in the background.
Once the Wachovia Bank is complete, the existing bank building will be torn down and replaced with 23,846 square feet of retail, 147 condominiums/townhomes, a 390 space parking garage and a 30,751 square foot Publix.
As viewed in the photograph, the buildings in this development will line the street in a pedestrian friendly manner.

What's the estimated time of completion for this again? 2009? 2010?

Re: East San Marco Breaks Ground
This project is dead. All we got was the Wachovia and some relocated businesses leaving empty storefronts behind.

Re: East San Marco Breaks Ground
Yes, it is dead. It's amazing what hasn't happened in the past year.

Re: East San Marco Breaks Ground
Its not dead. There's talk of moving it forward by switching the condos above Publix to apartments.

Re: East San Marco Breaks Ground
Beat me to it. Lake's right, its just portponed for redesign.

Re: East San Marco Breaks Ground
Well, I talked to some district managers from Publix a few weeks back and they don't believe it's happening anytime soon.

Re: East San Marco Breaks Ground
We shall see. It find it amazing that East San Marco is dead (delayed) and the developers at Jackson Sqaure still propose to move forward.

Re: East San Marco Breaks Ground
Why? East San Marco was initially proposed as condos over retail and then the condo market went bust. Jackson Square is proposed as apartments, but still needs to go through a couple of years of approval, rezoning, permitting and design before any dirt can be turned. My guess is that we'll see East San Marco rise out of the ground first. Primarily, because they already gone through the things mentioned above.

Re: East San Marco Breaks Ground
Wow, this is great news. Last I heard the project was totally put on hold. Like a 2+ year hold till the market turned around.
I can not believe that the San Marco area has existed this long without a decent grocery store nearby.

Re: East San Marco Breaks Ground
DARN, and I just signed a year lease! UGH!
Just add streetcar and watch it bloom, I'm telling you, this city is a development bomb about to go SKY HIGH!
If East San Marco and Jackson Square, the new Baptist, the new Crown Parking garage and the new Kings Avenue Station don't convince you. "Your lights are on but your house is missing...."
