QuoteJACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A prime spot on East Bay Street in downtown Jacksonville is in line for some big changes.

The Downtown Investment Authority on Thursday approved plans to move forward with redeveloping the historic building in the entertainment district across the street from where the old courthouse stood before it was demolished.

Right now, this strip of businesses next to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is home to seven different businesses on the ground floor including Myth Nightclub, Element Bistro Bar and Lounge and Live Bar.

The $7 million redesign of the 40,000-square-foot building that was constructed in 1908 and eventually subdivided will include making the second floor functional again.
