From Downtown This Week....

PQH: making Downtown spaces

Quiniones is part of PQH Architects.

Many of the people living or moving into downtown Jacksonville have PQH Architects to thank for their new home

PQH seems to have the downtown market cornered, as far as smaller projects go. I was offered a job there, last year, but I declined because of a better offer and potential at another local firm. Anyway, good luck to them, because they're really doing a great job in the revitalization effort of downtown.

Based on the recently published article concerning 323 Duval, is it safe to assume that these projects (The Ambassador Hotel & 323 Duval) will be completed in 2006 & 2007 or will they start construction at this time.

I look forward to seeing that part of downtown revitalized. These two projects, along with the courthouse, and that new 30-story building will all be close enough to each other to provide a good urban area.

BTW, has anyone heard any news about that 30-story? It's the one where the developer wasn't asking for incentives.

A guy over at KBJ told me a month or two ago, that the property's buyers are involved in a lawsuit with the original buyer. It looks like it could take a while, from the way it was explained to me.

^Curses, foiled again.... I'm still hopeful that this project will work out.
