Deutsche Bank considers Southbank in site search

Same thing I hear from the Adecco management people that moved from the Northeast.   They love being able to drive their own cars, park in front of their own building, and have a 20 minute commute.   No idea how long that will last as I think they've only been down here in great numbers the last 3 months.

I guess I should give up on simms3 recognizing those areas of town represent the American Dream for the vast majority of Americans. In Jacksonville or most anywhere else in this great country.

There are very few places in the United States where people of means would choose to live in an urban core environment when a desirable suburban locale exists close to beaches, parks, shopping, etc. Where this is not true, those urban places are the exception, not the rule, and it is foolish to continue insisting otherwise or dreaming otherwise.

For sensible folks, that's not a criticism of Jax, it's a recognition of a Southern, Sun Belt and Florida reality. Which means it is a  sensible recognition that our urban core can't mimic San Francisco, Chicago or New York -- nor should it.

unsure if it is or not, but it certainly isn't for your under 35 crowd.  That's why many high tech firms are moving in town from the suburbs.

Sounds like Deutsche *may* have picked a location on the south side:

They'll have a great view of JTB and the St. Johns Town Center!

[CityLife]

That's the exact site I was told about last fall when I heard DB wouldn't be moving DT.

Makes sense. I left DB last Summer, and the overwhelming majority of employees there lived between the Southside and Beaches.
