Corner Lot Development Group and JWB Real Estate Johnson Commons LLC broke ground this week on a 91-unit town house project in LaVilla.

More than three years after the city began to search for a developer to build for-sale town houses in LaVilla, Corner Lot Development Group and JWB Real Estate Johnson Commons LLC broke ground Tuesday on a 91-unit project.

Representatives of the Johnson Common partnership joined city officials for a ceremony at the 3.45-acre site in the historic Downtown neighborhood near the future Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing Park and the JTA Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center.

Corner Lot COO George Leone said the three-story town houses will be priced in the mid-to-high-$300,000s and will be “a little higher end” than the multifamily affordable and workforce housing built in LaVilla in recent years, primarily by The Vestcor Companies Inc.
