The Premature Destruction of Downtown Jacksonville

[fieldafm]

Exactly, and considering the supply of large tracts of office space outside of downtown (which has been dwindling in the last few years) this building could make a decent office tower or considering the supply of residential units downtown (which are near capacity... clearly demand is outweighing supply, evident by multifamily starts near the CBD) the building could make a decent and moderately priced residential reuse project.

^I agree.

I see no reason why the tower couldnt be re-used. It has to be one of the most structurally sound buildings around! a huge elevator shaft to boot. Between this building and the old JEA building, the City needs to get moving on putting them back on the tax rolls.

What if the site was between:
Forsyth and Water on on side and Lee and Jefferson on the other. 

if we site a convention center away from the Hyatt, then we likely need to subsidize another convention hotel adjacent to it in order for the center to be successful.

the old JEA building is owned by Petra (Hionides)...and he wants $9 million for it!

Tufsu I really do like the images from Transform Jax.  Enough to keep me quiet.
