The Morocco Shrine Center will be demolished and the site redeveloped.

The Klotz Group of Companies and KBR Group announced Oct. 4 that they plan to close on the Morocco Shrine Center in November, demolish it and begin construction on redeveloping the South Jacksonville property next year.

The two groups plan to transform the 37-acre site at 3800 St. Johns Bluff Road S. into The Village at Town Center. The mixed-use project will include residential units, commercial and office uses, a hotel and recreational space.
