Title: Lennox on Pearl / Block 9 / Block 5 / Etc
Post by: acme54321 on April 27, 2026, 07:15:27 AM
At this point I am assuming that these are all dead.  There was a lot of buzz about these projects back a few years ago, but nothing to show of any of them since.

They are almost certainly waiting for the next financing cycle. The Block properties are owned by the largest landowner in Brooklyn. There are of course a few holdout parcels they are still gunning for.

Not sure what is up with Lennox on Pearl but I would assume the same financing issue.

Believe the Lennox was waiting for road diet completion and Union Terminal to wrap up. Both are done, so...

I can't imagine Columbia Ventures is happy with the slow lease-up at UTW although Lennox on Park would be in a much more favorable market

Talk to developers about new multi-family. They'll all tell you there's no ROI in much of Jax right now, due to economic conditions.

This brings me back to the Doro.  What's the latest on their renting up?  I predicted stormy weather for this project due to location, design and economy, but are they doing better than that?

According to their website, only 44% of units are still available to lease. Not sure if some inventory hasn't been brought to market yet or if they are indeed 56% leased. If the latter is true, that would be a very successful lease-up so far, on par with One Riverside

904 Happy Hour posted a vid on Instagram a few hours ago. Worth checking out regarding Rise. There was also a few cars in the garage. Hard to tell what's avail and what's not v reserve rented out and not ready from their site, but some units are going online 15 June.
