Michelin Star Restaurant Group in DT Jax

[Alex Sifakis]

Will be a lot more announcements like this coming the next year or two.  Out of market F&B, retail, investors, developers, etc are sold on downtown Jax.

Must be the U2C.

Well, when you have a Four Seasons hotel and resort under construction, a major University (UF) announcing a graduate campus, increasing residential units between Gateway Jax, Related Group, River's edge, historic preservation and adaptive reuse projects moving forward, infrastructure investments, and multi-billion-dollar investments all happening in the same given area... it's only a matter of time. DT Jax has great momentum right now. Unfortunately, most of the general public in Jax hasn't caught on to the momentum.

Really loving all the new food/beverage concepts coming Downtown!

I'm always hesitant to use the "M" word - twice bitten, once shy - when it comes to Downtown Jacksonville, but definitely feels like things are starting to heat up here a bit! Seeing work ongoing or imminent in so many locations is really, really encouraging. Alex, appreciate the push it sounds like guys have been making to open up the tower retail spots to the street. Really interested to see what concept this group comes up with for BofA.

Good. Awesome.

Best Part of the Article:

AHG's concept, which is being finalized now, would go in one of the ground floor spaces in the tower, and doors would be added to allow for street access.

It's been a long time coming! Looking forward to the ground level remake of this tower.
