The developers of Commons Park, a medical office project in Campfield Commons in Jacksonville, announced Aug. 18 it has broken ground.
Commons Park is a partnership of Meek Development Group and JJM Realty Partners through 9084 RG Skinner PKW LLC.
The project comprises two one-story buildings totaling 13,980 square feet at RG Skinner Parkway, Anne Eliza Road and Lamb Tail Lane.
It is planned for completion in the first quarter of 2023.
The property is next to Woodspring Suites near Interstate 295 and Baymeadows Road East.
Meek Development Group CEO Craig Meek said in a news release he worked with JJM Realty Partners President Jim Maurer 23 years ago on the conversion of Philips Highway Plaza into what is now called San Marco East Plaza.
“Jim understands the Jacksonville market well, which allowed him to quickly see the merits of the location and the demand for new medical office product,” Meek said.
“Jacksonville’s Healthcare industry has benefited from migration trends to southern states,” Maurer said in the release.
“Its population growth has boosted demand for medical office space, which has a current inventory of primarily older vintage products with very little availability.”
The city is reviewing permit applications for two shell buildings at a job cost of $1.4 million on 1.78 acres.
