There is a lot of attention focused on Downtown Jacksonville these days. Between the new Ford on Bay, First Baptist Church’s decision to put about 90% of their properties on the market, plans for a mixed-use development at the old Independent Life Tower, and JEA’s plans for a new headquarters the urban core is changing.
What could these projects mean for the urban core? We took a closer look with Christian Oldenburg, Managing Director and Market Leader for Colliers International Northeast Florida; and Mike Field of our digital partner, the Jaxson.
