Results of the Boom: Completed or Under Construction

I have a hard time believing the garage will be built.  IMO, I would rather the lot be left for a solid development instead of another garage.

I have a hard time believing it as well.  However, the site's owner also owns the tower next door and he claims the tower needs its own parking.

Wasn't the idear to build a garage that had potential for future vertical expansion?

This picture makes me sad.

I say its a crime to leave berkman unfinished. make them finish it.

Also, get riverwatch tower in the air.

Great, great presentation.   Quality as always, gentlemen!

Developing101 you're absolutely right.  Always necessary to step back and look at this as a part of the overall larger picture versus focusing on the 'bust' of the last year or so.

One questions - where is the Villa Riva?

Where the hell is the Metropolin Lofts??? HUH? And where the is the Villa Riva,

Im impressed. Looks like progress to me, I wonder how long the list would be if all the old buildings were removed from the list. Bring on the Skyway Extensions!!!

We hold the keys to that future y'all. For all practical purposes the Skyway is dead at Hogan Street, and there is no alternate fixed route transit EAST of that point. You want a big City, you've got to ante-up and build the transit, and when you do? BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME! Offer any developer between the Stadium and Hogan an inhouse Skyway or Streetcar connection if they just sign on the dotted line. OOPS out of my box again.

Metropolitan Lofts is across the street from the AT&T switching station. This is about a block or so north of the courthouse site.

Found it. Which Skyway Station is closer Hemming Plaza or Rosa Parks? I can't really tell from the map.

[Coolyfett]

WTF!



Look outside the window you see AT&T out one window and the Federal Courthouse out of another??? How is that possible? Its on Church Street, AT&T is on Forsyth & the Courthouse is on Hogan. WTF!? What angle was this flick taken from?

I don't have a hard time about this garage. We got to put SOMETHING on that empty lot!

Aw, come on, Matt!  Let's not be discouraged. We get the garage. The high rise may come later. It may not look the same but it will get built soon. Keep the faith!

It looks like the Landing garage situation has taken another twist:

Feds search home of an investor who hinted he might build the facility.

By David Bauerlein, The Times-Union


The yearslong attempt to provide a parking garage for The Jacksonville Landing took another twist when federal authorities executed a search warrant at the home of the investor talking with city officials about building the garage.

Federal agents sought the search warrant for the Minnesota home of Frank Vennes Jr., according to an affidavit filed last week in U.S. District court in Minnesota. The FBI sought search warrants for several homes and businesses while investigating a scheme that defrauded investors in a Minnesota company, according to the affidavit.

Vennes has owned businesses in both Minnesota and Florida.

Vennes is the manager of Project Riverwatch LLC, which owns a tract of land next to the SunTrust Tower on downtown's Northbank, according to city and state records.
