New Development to rise along JTB

[copperfiend]

It probably bit the dust for now, like everything else not associated with SJTC.

Come to think of it, where the hell is our Westin?! The Sheraton looks like an oversized Hampton Inn. (Nothing against Hampton Inn, nice place)

The land was cleared for the Westin and it is still listed on the site plan.

haha yeh the Westin might never make it, and if it does the clientele will still come to the Homewood Suites for a better price.  If Jax thought that $180 a night was too much i can only imagine what they'll say at a Westin front desk. 

True about the Sheraton, it's a cookie cutter hotel just like the holiday inn they're putting up near 9A and baymeadows, right around that huge parking garage from nowhere lol

Here is an early prediction. If this is built, most of the retail aspect will fail. Isolated retail rarely works. Look at the World Golf Village.

We all due respect, but I wouldn't depend on that prediction . We need stuff like this in this city. I believe the retail aspect will go on...nuff said .

Anybody whatever happened to the Westin proposal? Apparently I think it is dead, unfortunately.

if not dead, put on hold like so many other things through the recession.  2010 would be the earliest date i would expect any significant building to get re-started...and i think it will be slow to re-start when it does.
