What are the top 3 floors? Bullpen offices?
The exterior design is better than much of what we see with craftsman details and integrated sidewalk/entry, but typical lack of creativity in naming the project.

why would someone fence in a building that you want people to visit?

I'm just glad to see a building finally being proposed again. Especially one with a built in parking garage.  |

Maybe the extra 4' is to help prevent the 1st floor from flooding? That area of San Marco has pretty serious drainage issues.
Regardless, I'm really pleased with this design. The fascade covering the garage is what it is, and there's really no avoiding it considering the government-mandated parking requirements for medical offices. Aside from that, the design is nice. It's got a touch of neo-traditional with the prarie style, but it's still unmistakably new and interesting for something in Jax. Personally, I also think it's the perfect scale for that part of San Marco.

My guess is that the building will be known as the (Your Name Here) building, based on whomever is the primary tenant

This looks good on paper. I like the integration of the parking garage, much improved over what we currently have downtown. Also great to see more development occurring!

um... at 1463 San Marco Blvd ...  No one will live there. It's professional offices (almost certainly will be doctor's offices). |

Do I see more then just a little bit of Klutho Prairie School here Lake? If I'm right or wrong about that I'll still agree that it looks killer good!

I like it, but it is 75% parking. Only one floor is offices, one half of the first floor is retail.

I don't see any evidence of rezoning so I guess they have what they need for the height. What are the height limitations in this area and what impact will this have on surrounding residential areas immediately behind this building?
While I don't have a problem with the building, I have a concern for San Marco Blvd. and the surrounding area to absorb and handle the traffic, etc. from what inevitably will be lots more of these taller buildings. I can see this area of San Marco (and Hendricks too?) becoming mini-Riverside Avenues (i.e. the section between I-95 and the Acosta Bridge). Is there a master plan for this area or is it typical Jax - build now and solve problems later?

I'm not overly impressed with the design. Hopefully it is just from the bad rendering program used, but doubtful.

I wouldn't call Sketchup a bad rendering program, although it's really a modeling program and you can help the render quality along with other programs. The images look as though they were straight outputs from Sketchup. |
