I like the building, personally. While it is unfortunate that half the building is a parking deck, it is far better than having a half acre of surface parking. I am sure the finished product will look great, but the rendering is a little drab. What I am most excited about is the potential this development has to inspire similar developments on the Southbank. This is the kind of infill we need between the historic district and the high rises along the river. There are currently 4 parallel streets from San Marco to the Southbank, so i do not think that traffic will be an issue.......for the time being.

The building looks ok, but hopefully it'll look better as it starts coming out of the ground.
Not the biggest fan of "Med. inspired design" because we alreayd have something like that, San Marco Place. While it looks great, please do not let this become the new building trend for the neighborhood, We need more bold designs that really catch the eye.

Build it yesterday.
This proposal has been looming around for quite a few years now. Glad to see it resurface in a new light.

Silly quantum mechanics standing in the way of progress! I love the design. I love the fact that it's going to be close to/in the Core. I love that its going to eat up current surface-parking lot space. I love the fact that it's going to be vertical. How about some excitement and positivity over something getting ready to take off amidst the crapper economy and real estate market? |

It looks very similar to the East San Marco sales center on Atlantic, which in turn looks like the East San Marco renderings, which look like San Marco Place. Jacksonville.....The Istanbul of the West....?

Nah, it's just San Marco trying to be a Meditteranean village with too many doctors, bad drainage, and a very taller buildings.

.... add to this the possibility of the Wolfson's expansion and Baptist office building moving forward in the near future and we'll be seeing a lot of changes in that area.

Is there a timeframe for this thing? Looks good, will fill in the skyline nicely, and will hopefully attract some more downtown businesses.

Built so far from Baptist, Nemours, JOI. What is the point? Just more hodge podge in Jacksonville.

Seriously, this building sucks! I can't believe how many rave reviews it's gotten on this page. It's a post-modern interpretation of an arts and craft building, i.e. stucco with applique detail! Does it get an worse. Anybody who likes this building has obviously not picked up a quality architecture magazine in the last 25 years and/or has never left FL!

Not to rain on your negative and broad sweeping generalizations, but I think most people are excited about what it is and what it means, not what it looks like. Most people have said the design needs work, but new a development in the area is a good thing, especially considering the economy and drought of building proposals.

Where exactly is this suppose to go? Will people live in this building?
um... at 1463 San Marco Blvd ...  No one will live there. It's professional offices (almost certainly will be doctor's offices). |
