Hillwood Among 5 Groups Planning Big Jacksonville Warehouses

Jacksonville Daily Record

Hillwood, which is developing AllianceFlorida at Cecil Commerce Center, is one of five groups making plans for Jacksonville distribution centers of more than 1 million square feet.

WJCT News partner the Jacksonville Daily Record reports Hillwood, the city’s master developer at Cecil, previously filed plans for a 1.5 million-square-foot center at POW-MIA Memorial Parkway, 103rd Street, Aviation Avenue and Cecil Pines Street.

Hillwood Senior Vice President Dan Tatsch said the building remains a “concept only” and there are no immediate plans to build it.

Among the other projects, Becknell Industrial proposes to apply for a building permit by the end of September for a 1.1 million-square-foot distribution center at 13522 Pritchard Road in Westlake Industrial Park.

Becknell submitted clearing and grading plans Tuesday for the site.

Executive Vice President Dan Fogarty said recently there are at least two corporate prospects that are “very serious about large bulk buildings in Jacksonville.”
