Brooklyn's Latest Project: 200 Riverside

[Captain Zissou]

Sorry to get everyone's hopes up but it look like a false alarm.  Just noticed the equipment being used to do a an exterior weather-proofing project at 220 is being stored inside the construction fencing.  Don't know why they would deliver a port-a-potty for a project that is only supposed to take a few weeks but that looks like what happened.

Your penance should be to go locate Glenn so we can get his take on the recent Town Center developments.  #whereisglenn #ifeelsorryforglennandthebaltimoreguys

Small, vague update from the Daily Record:

"[Hallmark is] out with their equity partners shopping for the rest of the capital to do the project," said DIA CEO Aundra Wallace. "That's about all I know right now." 

Keith Goldfaden, a principal with NAI Hallmark Partners, said by email the development group is working through the design and development process toward a fall groundbreaking.

Not to get anyone's hopes up, but noticed a new set of survey markers around this property yesterday.

But did they move the black SUV?

My guess is he's building a garage.

Probably been so long they need a new survey.

^BOOM.

Luxury apartments, workforce housing, retail, and hotel developments all imminent.

Anybody who thinks that this economic cycle has somehow missed Jacksonville isn't looking closely enough at Brooklyn and Lavilla.

So much potential still there too between the redevelopment of the Times-Union property and McCoys Creek project.

They should put a Chick Fil A somewhere in there. It will make a fortune.

This is awesome news! I think their retail component will do much better fronting Riverside ave for obvious reasons.

Nice Brooklyn continues its success. From Avondale it serves me very well the Y, Fresh Market, BurgerFi and that part of the Riverwalk are all in the mix of my Families' activities.

JAX has been very late to the recovery and the quantity is still not there compared to other metros, but it hasn't been totally missed.  Too much is still being built in the outskirts of town vs. the core.

Yes, DT Jax is way behind what's taken place in many large cities over the last decade. However, many of the booming places also have a lot more being built in the burbs than we do locally as well. My hope is just that we can get as many of the current proposals under construction as soon as possible before the economy sours.

Where will Vestcor's "Lofts at Brooklyn" be located?
