Southside News Thread

Eye, pain management and other procedures will be performed at facility

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm sure the project will be profitable. That ugly building is going to cause so much eye pain, their clinic will be really busy !!!

[Urban_Legend]

That building looks like it belongs in Boca Raton. Not Jacksonville.

[RiversideGator]

The building isnt too terrible. It appears to make use of bricks and columns, but in a different asymmetrical way. Anyway, it is in the Southside, so I will probably never see it.

[crazy cuban]

i think i am going blind just looking at it.... yo riverside gator, i wouldn't get to confident >>> it looks like something that could be coming to a location near you!!!!

J.U. selling property to get out of debt.Maybe more condos on the way in Arlington. http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stor..._19106913.shtml

[bobliocatt]

When the time is right, I'll fill you all in on this project. It looks like I'll be the PM for it. It should be a shot in the arm for Arlington.

900 units sounds pretty significant. I'm guessing 2-34 story towers overlooking IMO a beautiful section os the mighty St. Johns.

Isn't it great to have so many insiders on this forum! Thanks for keeping us posted Lake

[bobliocatt]

Dealing with the people I work with, I can tell you right now, there won't be any 34 story towers. I'll be checking the site out later today, but I expect its possible we'll see a couple of mid-rises (at the most), with some commercial uses lining University Blvd.

In my best Homer impersonation: DOH!!!

So I should count on multiple 4-5 story buildings interconnected with parking lots and maybe a retention pond or two?

You nailed it! This is from the JU website.

Hudson Capital, a Miami Beach-based partnership of five south Florida real estate investors, will purchase the land and plans to develop a gated 11-building 900-unit residential condominium community with a pool, lake, tennis courts, clubhouse and a riverfront marina.

[Viper]

11 buildings @ 900 units

81+- units per buildings.

**Speculating ahead**

40 units per floor = 11 2 story buildings.

20 units per floor = 11 4 story buildings.

10 units per floor = 11 8 story buildings.

8 units per floor = 11 10 story buildings.

Or combinations thereof.

[bobliocatt]

I predict the largest number of units/floor you'll see is about 10.

[asonj23]

At least the deveolpment isn't a single family residence suburban community. I'm glad to hear of at least SOME density. 1,800 - 2,000 residents on that parcel isn't that bad.

[Captain Obvious]

There's a new project on the southside that might have been mentioned here before, but I can't remember. It's at the corner of San Jose Blvd and Baymeadows Road, behind the Stonewood Grill where the old marina burnt down. They have big signs with project renderings on both San Jose and Baymeadows, but I don't have any pictures right now.

It's a 6 story condo on Goodby's creek, called "The Cove." According to an add in the paper, Epping Forrest Yatch Club membership will be included with the condo. There will be a marina, but the San Jose bridge over Goodby's creek will prevent large boats from docking there.

Auchter is doing the construction. They just put up a site aerial. No timetable or groundbreaking that I know of.

A 6 story condo isn't the biggest news in the world - but I am somewhat excited because of the location. I think it's good news when the suburbs start getting 6 story buildings, and no NIMBY's jump up to complain. It means that people are starting to accept and value higher density development.

[BosTech]

Well San Jose,Baymeadows/Mandarin area is getting developed very quickly.There is lot of construction going on,little bit open space that was left is being taken...just look at Sunbeam road,5 years ago it was mostly woods and now you got 6-7 building going up at this time.

So only option left is to build UP,no more open space and people want to live and work in that area.

I think next 10-15 years San Jose will go up a lot and look more like urban city....well sprawled urban city.

[BosTech]

By the way,driving today on 9A I noticed two apartment communities that have 5 story buildings right of the 9A and Gate,also they seem to be building some office towers like 4-5 story high.

I like how impresive thise aperments looks when buldings have 5 stories,more people live there and it looks european ,as good number of residential buildings in Europe are 5-6 stories high.

[Viper]

5 storys? Wow. It's rare that you find suburban residential buildings over 3 storys.

The intersting things is that it's not as if the southside is in danger of running out of room.

Final link in I-295 Beltway finally under construction

Multi-level interchange for Florida 9A at Butler Boulevard

[asonj23]

I'm hoping the contractor provides a website similar to the I95-I295 and the Big-I sites. A rendering would also be great.

I've had a lot of fun following the progress of the I95-I295 interchange. I'm glad the its almost done though. The good things is that there will always be something big being built around town!

No rendering, but here's a diagram.

Man aliens will be landing on that JTB/9A interchange by mistake. :-)

Does anyone know if there will be any buildings over 4 stories, or is just a standard 2/3 story condo project. (I WANNA SEE SOME DESIFICTION>>>)

[bobliocatt]

The article mentions the apartments will be in a four story building and that the development, in general, will be centered around a street, with a similar look and pedestrian feel of St. Johns Town Center's open air mall portion.
