Downtown Jacksonville is in the midst of a transition as a host of major projects are currently under way or in the planning process.
The list of projects features ventures from out-of-state and local developers, both adaptive reuses and new construction, spread across a variety of multifamily, hotel and retail sectors.
Much of the new energy — and capital — is understandably focused on the city's riverfront.
2022 saw several projects break ground, including the One Riverside redevelopment of the former Times-Union building site.
Other projects are still just concepts, but important decisions have been made. That includes the $166 million high-rise proposed by American Lions, which was the sole company to respond to a request for proposals for a one-acre development pad at Riverfront Plaza, the former site of the Jacksonville Landing.
The city also moved forward with plans for The Hardwick at Ford on Bay, a $150 million project with 300 apartment units and a significant amount of retail space along Bay Street facing the St. Johns River.
