QuoteAn 80-room Element by Westin hotel is proposed near southeast Third Street and Beach Boulevard in Jacksonville Beach.
The 1-acre property at 7 S. Third St. has been vacant for more than a decade since a Texaco gas station and convenience store was closed and demolished.
Bobby Bhikha of Shivam Properties II LLC intends to develop the $10 million hotel. Property records show Shivam bought the land through a subsidiary in 2004 for $700,000.
Bhikha said he plans to break ground by March after obtaining permits from the city of Jacksonville Beach and approvals from the St. Johns River Water Management District.
Construction is expected to take 14-16 months.
