Jacksonville's next Downtown skyscraper

[Coolyfett]

Tower is gorgeous. Would love to see that in Jax! JAX needs more upscale. That's the problem with JAX, it's too downscale! If you want to compete in the information economy, you need to attract members of the creative class. You need upscale for that. Adding more shipping firms is great, adding a biotech firm is better.

I understand your point of view.

Many cities have their downtown split by a river.

Man that sucks...what other cities have that feature?


You think that sucks. Maybe you havent sat down and had dinner at the Landing with the South Bank in the back ground or watched fireworks from either bank. IMO its a plus not a negative.

With the education system we have here.....good luck. It seems Jerry Mallot has us relagated to building batteries on the west side if the prospect can score a 100 million dollar grant.

Thanks Jerr for the confidence in our youth!

Jacksonville's next downtown skyscaper...maybe a 50-60 story mixed-use tower to replace that surface parking lot across from the Landing! Anything to succeed the height of the BoA Tower.

And that would be the perfect spot for the next one, also a tall tower would be good next to the Wachovia Bank Tower, another tall would also go good in the parking lot next to the Omni, and I could go on and on.

We could do another thread on proposed skyscraper infills for the downtown core; someone needs to start and open up that thread.

The images I posted a few pages back show what the core could look like if all of the major vacant lots were developed.  Its night and day.
