New York-based American Lions LLC is proposing a high-rise next to the future Riverfront Plaza park.

New York City-based American Lions LLC and the city are ready to start discussing terms of a possible incentives and real estate deal for an estimated $166.6 million residential high-rise at Riverfront Plaza, the former Jacksonville Landing.

The city plans for the remainder of the site to be a public park.
