yawn.

No grocery anchor?

The Wal-Mart Supercenter should count as a grocery anchor.

wamp wamp. What a failure!

At LEAST is has the residential element (if it will ever be built).  That'll help with the future idea of connecting it with the commuter rail line.

sweet...more surface parking lots. I am sure it is very walkable for the people that live there.

[Abhishek]

At least the Avenues Mall is close by so they can catch a bus. Otherwise, there are not many Plan B's for transit...until there is a commuter rail station in the vicinity.

Wow this is even more white trash now.  There's absolutely nothing in there that would remotely make me want to take some winding road and deal with all the congestion in this area.

OOOH BOWLING.....and 23 Baby stores... and ANOTHER WAL MART!  At least they put in the huge parking lots so we don't accidentally do something progressive in jacksprawlville.

Is it too late to just make this into a monster truck rally pit?

I say it looks pretty nice.

What would your progressive suggestion be for this parcel that is bounded by a railroad track and an interstate? 

I just find it interesting that the developer would spend that kind of money on an overpass just to obtain access to it.  They must have really wanted to build back there.  Hopefully they will be able to tie this in to the commuter rail if it happens. 

OOOH BOWLING

Bummer that bowling makes you white trash.  I kind of like bowling.

Let me see... lots of construction jobs, more retail jobs... As someone else said... what do you suggest for this spot?  If anything rather than adding to sprawl it seems to be using empty space within the confines of Phillips and 95.  Would you have preferred this more towards St Augustine?

[Charleston native]

Let's see: bowling, laser tag, video games...uh yeah, pretty "white trash". I guess it would only be better if we had another night club full of thugs, wannabe rappers, and skanky women drinking martinis? Ah yes, a truly "progressive" notion.

Hey,

They wouldn't build it if it wasn't in demand. I grew up on the fridge of both the core and the newer developments so I sometimes see the views from both sides. It does seem we bash anything that's not within a 5 mile radius of downtown, even when it seems like a not so bad design such as this (it's somewhat dense at least)i'll agree I'm personally not impressed with the store tenants, (like i even shop) but that's what's in demand.

But at the same time I hear ya. It's a bit discouraging to see so many developments happen so far away from the city center and offer the same old chains dressed up in a different facade with a nice shiny lake in the middle!

The masses like it out there, whattyagonnado, anh?

Hey.......it's out in the suburbs people; what do you expect, a 70 story hotel/office complex?  I think it's "right on" and appropriate for the suburbs in Jacksonville.

You gotta put on your soccermom hat when looking at these projects
