Berkman Plaza 2

They have said they do not expect to get anywhere near the 10 million of any sale. Sounds like they are hoping to sell to someone who may take them on as the contractor so they will be able to recoup some more. At least that is the way I read the article which is up on JBJ.

Shame I didn't see that article. I may have been a little enticed to look into it more. Oh well.

I will look into it further. I am just assuming there is a hidden catch behind this all I just need to figure out what it was/is. Thanks for the tip edjax

You should look into it. The point of the auction was to give them the property, now they can negotiate a sales price with somebody like you if you're interested.

I just started a website, but restructure has lead me to split off the team I had and start this one here. Most of my dealings are from Italy, where I bought, renovated and sold "ruins" as they are called. I am still constructing the website and updating it everyday. I opened a facebook page a few years ago, but I have never been one to do social media. Hence the forum style is still very new to me as well. The person who leads my construction team though has been in contracting for 30+ years. He was the foreman that was involved in the painting of the maxwell house building back when they built their extension. I have a few projects underway one of which I will further elaborate at the end of the week. The client has a one of a kind idea and she doesn't want it leaked yet. I also am pushing forward the renovation of the old shotgun houses. I have one more meeting before I should be able to have a start date on that one. Aside from that I am about to work with the investors that brought the Cigar bar downtown to acquire a building and put lofts. Not too much really as of right now to show in per say investment, but I do have the connections and backing to where making deals to secure funding is very easy.

I am also going to start attending ALL of the meetings that are posted throughout here so that all persons interested in talking with me will have very easy access to me. I will also as soon as I acquire a private office that is easier accessed have an open door type policy where someone will always be seen regarding whatever matter they put forth.

Past experience in rehabbing 'ruins' will come in very handy in Jax!! All kidding aside. Wish you well and hope you are da real ting.

Say no more, I officially love you!

If my user avatar isn't a give-away, I have a special place in my heart for shotgun houses. I would love to be involved in their preservation in some way, to perhaps own a shotgun house myself someday, and to even push them as a model for guiding the "small house movement" into urban neighborhoods and onto a larger scale. They have great potential to allow high densities and homeownership for people who don't want excess living space, but with the benefits of a single-family package as an alternative to small apartments or condos.

I would love to hear more about your involvement with shotgun renovations. Are you talking only of the 3 in LaVilla, or others elsewhere in Jax?

I just Liked Auditore's FB page because I sure do Like what he's saying.  We need heros.

Thank you very much. I can woo the ears off of most city officials, but with out a backing of the people of jacksonville I can only get so far. Your support means a lot to me. Not even as a whole, but as individual people.

EXCLUSIVE: Atlanta developer working deal to finish half-built Berkman tower in Downtown Jacksonville

Ashley Gurbal Kritzer
Reporter-
Jacksonville Business Journal

An Atlanta apartment developer is in talks to buy the half-built Berkman II condo tower from the general contractor who now owns it.

Fingers crossed apartments are probably a better use than condos.

^yep a steady group of 200ish extra people living in the core would be awesome! It would be great for the bars / restaurants along bay street.

Love your positive vibe...that type of energy is exactly what we need! Was just curious if you are incorporated here in Florida? I have not yet had an opportunity to research your company, so please forgive me if I am asking a question that is answered on your website. Either way, I wish you much success in your endeavors and look forward to reading/hearing of your progress.

Incorporated in Italy, I was setting up shop in New York for a while, but I am in the process as establishing as a Florida Corporation while still keeping it connected to Italy as I still have dealings there. Not sure if the Web page works right now as I am looking for a better host with more versatile options. If anyone has a suggestions on it I would like the feedback...


as for jazz fest did it really produce some result in development or was that sarcasm I missed.
