Augustine Development Group will ask the Downtown Development Review Board for conceptual design approval for a mixed-use restoration of the historic Central National Bank Building.
The St. Augustine-based developer plans to renovate the 1950s-era building at 404 N. Julia St. and add an eight-story apartment building, according to WJCT News partner the Jacksonville Daily Record.
DDRB staff recommended approval for the Central National Bank project, scheduled at the board’s Nov. 12 meeting.
It will be Augustine Development’s third project in the two-block area.
