Jacksonville Shipyards (Four Seasons Hotel & Residences, Office Tower, Public Marina)

BUILDING A VIBRANT DOWNTOWN
The Jacksonville Shipyards, including a restored Met Park, will deliver a Downtown experience that blends urban design with waterfront entertainment.

A modernized public marina, a Four Seasons Hotel and Residences and a six-story office building will create new jobs, generate vital tourism revenue, and spark additional opportunities for emerging local businesses.

With an influx of restaurants, hotels, entertainment and parks to complement existing establishments, a buzzing Downtown could become the true heart and soul of Jacksonville.

Johnson Commons

The project is designed on 3.4 acres at Adams, Johnson, Lee and Forsyth streets in the historic Downtown neighborhood.

Johnson Commons, LLC has committed to the construction of a for-sale townhome residential community consisting of a minimum of 91 townhomes in Phase 1. All units will be offered as individual for sale product, adding to the diversity of residential options in the community. The Townhome units proposed by Johnson Commons will be three story (approximately 1400 square feet average) each with a one car garage. All 91 townhome units will be developed in single phase.

Independent Life Insurance Building

Augustine Development Group purchased the building—now designated a local Historic Landmark—in October 2019 for $3.7 million, with plans to invest more than $30 million in the redevelopment of the property. The developer announced plans to renovate the 18-story, 165,000 square foot building at 233 W. Duval St. to include a 21,000-square-foot grocery store, 140 market-rate apartments and a 10,000 square foot rooftop restaurant, lounge and pool.
