[hiddentrack]

Looks like we'll know more soon. Via Stephanie Brown at WOKV (https://twitter.com/newsandnom/status/590603985658241024 & https://twitter.com/newsandnom/status/590604162414546945):

NEW: Jax "Professional Service Eval Cmte" to vote Thursday on who could redevelop Jax Landing. Cooper Carry (GA) is top ranked bid.

Cooper Carry hasn't yet given public info about their redevelopment plan. Their bid is not public record until Thursday.

^ Ironic that the only mixed use development listed on Cooper Carry's site is a near-perfect replica of Sleiman's much reviled redesign proposal

Oh lord. Here we go.

Really??  I saw at least 20 different examples under their Mixed Use Portfolio.  There were many different styles from high rise to mid rise ,etc.

Got a link by any chance, Ed?

Maybe I was looking in the wrong place.

The only high and mid-rises that I saw were office towers.

This brochure shows a number of different things:

I really have no idea how to do links.  Not tech savvy. Just went to their website clicked on Porfolios. Then on the Mixed Use drop down items. It brings up 5 on this page to the right and then you can click to additional pages at bottom to show more of them.  If you click on the thumbnail of each it brings up more details on the particular project.

What city is that on your pic Ken?

Naples, FL

The Mercato.

And, navigation is a little tricky on the site, but I stand corrected.

I've found a few pretty interesting projects on their site.

The repurposing of the Ballston Mall in Arlington is probably a realistic idea of what was proposed:

If Jacksonville were to suddenly strike oil, however, I'd love to see a scaled-down rebuild similar to the proposed East Harlem Media, Entertainment, and Cultural Center, but open to the river.

Thanks, that's a festive looking development

I can't imagine something anywhere near that scale being feasible at the Landing site. If I had to guess, anything that comes out of this will be more in line with what Sleiman proposed.

Not to be rude..but if our city cant keep a space like the landing busy..why are we even thinking about the shipyard area?

[thelakelander]

good question.....

Your question doesn't seem rude at all.  The Landing is pretty busy now, especially on the weekends, but obviously needs at least a major facelift.  The shipyards is getting the attention now because Shad Kahn wants to have something lively going on between between the sports district and the Elbow district to help improve the gameday experience for Jags games and he's putting his time, effort and some money into making that happen.

Just noticed this morning that Harbinger Sign posted info from their presentation at the PechaKucha event last month that had The Landing as a topic. Not sure if anyone here happened to be there, but I heard there were some great presentations, and I'm glad to see more about this one as it includes pretty much everything I'd like to see happen at The Landing:

One of my favorite things is the title of their proposal: Just because #dtjax is on fire, doesn't mean we have to burn The Landing down (yet)
