Modis is moving out of Downtown....

Looks like KPMG is in there as well.  and Ernst & Young but not PriceWaterhouseCoopers

Deloitte would be a good brand for the top of that building.

i just think you like saying it.

If they decide to leave downtown I see it having a negative trickle down effect, especially for the nearby dining establishments that rely heavily on lunch time revenue.

I don't know what the new guys have in store for the stadium, but MPS Group offered 3 million a year, 2 years back for stadium naming rights, the Jaguars refused. That was after Accuvue offered even more, but a Jax official F'd up that deal.

As for the terrace suite, I believe the naming rights will not be renewed.

Probably digressing from what this thread was intended for, but "Maxwell Grounds" sounds pretty good to me.

PwC is in the Bank of America Tower.

Lots of companies exploring lease options these days given current market conditions.  Some may stay put with a lower rent, some may move.

How did they "f up" the deal? I heard they wanted a longer committment than anybody was willing to offer.

The Jaguars wanted a 10-year commitment out of any sponsor, as I understand it.  A couple of companies, such as Toyota, offered less than 10-year.  (This is the first time I heard someone say MPS made an offer.)  The word on the Jaguar message board, as I recall, was Acuvue did offer a deal commensurate with what the Jaguars wanted, but it was leaked in advance and they walked away as a result.

[copperfiend]

I did hear about Toyota and Acuvue but not sure how accurate they were. I hope they can get a long term commitment from someone but this is a difficult time to do something like that.

I realize the thread is digressing, but since the city makes $0 from nonexistent naming rights now, I say we offer naming rights for $1 to the next big company who builds a skyscraper downtown and chooses Jacksonville as their headquarters.

I wonder if Comcast would consider moving in there.  I have heard they are having leasing issues off of Southpoint and they have several other offices besides the ones the installers work out of (not practical for them to work out of the Modis building).  I'm sure they could fill the 375 person void in the building.

Sure, at the right price, but Modis is not gone yet. Eola will have to give them a rate they cannot get in the suburbs, and I am confident they will, if they want to keep their largest tenant.
