Great article and super awesome news. Our dreams are finally coming true. Jacksonville is finally moving.

Is a Chase Bank really what we need on the bottom floor of this though? 9-5 and closed? Don't get me wrong, this is amazing, but a restaurant/bar or something to complement what's going on across the street would be nice.

I'd like to see a Chase branch downtown, but I hope it doesn't take up the entire first floor.

I cannot wait to see construction in this building.

It maybe starting sooner than most think. Initial construction permits have been submitted for approval.

Good news. We walked by the other day and noticed the Est. 1926, Re-Est  2014 sign was still there and had a bit of a chuckle.

Were permits not also submitted for the East San Marco Publix project?................

[thelakelander]

East San Marco would be under construction by now if it were getting the amount of incentives that the Barnett and Trio are in line to receive.  Even with that in mind, I mentioned that it "may" start sooner than most anticipate.

"Cool as a cucumber" news.

Could it really be happening?

^Per the article, Vagabond Coffee and an international bank will occupy the first floor of the Barnett, and a gym will occupy the mezzanine and a portion of the third floor. Tenets have already signed for the Barnett's office space.
