Anyone know what is being proposed for the parcel at the corner of Philips Hwy and St Augustine Rd, across from Crown pools?

What happened?

Vestcor got approved for funding for the Lofts at Cathedral project in 2021, which they have already started working on in 2022. I believe it was their second or third time submitting an application for that project, as well as the Governor vetoing a separate funding request that was outside the Florida Housing Finance Corp process. 

They were not successful in obtaining LIHTC funding for the Phillips Highway property in 2021, a Southbank property in 2020, and most recently in the first quarter of 2022- a joint development with Sulzbacher for a project in Brentwood converting a nuisance hotel into rent-subsidized transition housing and workforce training/development (similar to the Vesctor/Sulzbacher project a half mile away and across from Pearl Plaza).

Affordable housing tax credits are extremely competitive, and the vast majority of projects an affordable housing developer will complete entitlements/due diligence on, won't make the cut and ultimately don't get built.
