You can get one of these for less than $100k.

The ship has sailed for me, since I've decided to build my own and I'm already financially tied to that decision.  However, in a city with over 800,000 residents, there should be more than one development to choose from.  Considering the boom we just went through the last decade, we should have a couple thousand units of various sizes and square footages to choose from, scattered across the urban core.

They are out there, many have been foreclosed on in Berkman or Peninsula, renters kicked out of 11E or old San Marco, they are out there, then you have the totally open and fully Air Conditioned Berkman II. Thankfully the Aetna building was not ruined with a monstrosity and the Shipyards, well, as usual, fell through. Otherwise downtown would be an even worse mess, and we have yet to discuss the Orlando Real Estate Barron Cameron Kuhn and his crummy urban vision.

About the only success we have downtown is the courthouse, and it still has a few months to go for occupancy.
And, that $115 will save Jacksonville from financial ruin. - Mayor John Peyton

If that's one of our successes, then heaven protect us if we ever have a failure!!
When all else fails hug the dog.

Every failure is "shovel ready" though! So we got that going for us.

At 5 am this morning, the feature MJ story was about this project with a site plan and talk about the upcoming DDRB meeting.  When I got back from my workout, it was replaced with the beaches construction update.  Is it coming back?

Yes. It will be back with a slight revision as tomorrow's main story.
