Roosevelt Square’s redevelopment should be evident soon, now that the city issued permits for demolition of the closed Belk store and other shop space.
The city issued permits Wednesday for RLH Construction LLC of Oviedo to take down the former Belk and its surrounding parking as well as retail space on the western end of the property, our Daily Record news partner reports.
The job cost is $300,000. The addresses are 4397 and 4529 Roosevelt Blvd., east of Roosevelt Boulevard and south of San Juan Avenue.
In January, a representative of shopping center owner Dewberry Capital Corp. said Roosevelt Square will undergo a third phase of redevelopment under its ownership.
The representative called it “a total renovation” of the 29-acre West Jacksonville shopping center and said plans would be released when ready.
Atlanta-based Dewberry Capital, through Roosevelt Square LLLP, applied to the city to demolish the closed Belk department store at a cost of $250,000 and a former pharmacy at a cost of $50,000.
Dewberry Capital also applied to the city for a façade renovation and addition to the retail building anchored by Stein Mart. That is the building where the pharmacy will be demolished.
No contractor is listed for the $1.2 million project. The permit and plans show the address as 4397 and 4399 Roosevelt Blvd.
Building B, the focus on the permit, is along San Juan Avenue at the northern end of Roosevelt Square.
Other tenants shown in Building B include Panera Bread, Okinawa Japanese Grillhouse & Sushi Bar and Moe’s Southwest Grill.
Plans show Dewberry Capital will open a 12,000-square-foot Ulta Beauty store adjacent to the north side of Stein Mart and add a 5,350-square-foot building behind Ulta for more shops.
