The Downtown Investment Authority allocated development rights Aug. 17 for four marina slips to Fidelity National Information Services LLC.
The slips will be constructed along the Northbank Riverwalk adjacent to FIS’s headquarters building nearing completion at 323 Riverside Ave.
The resolution says the slips will serve to capitalize on the aesthetic beauty of the St. Johns River, value its health and respect its natural force and maximize interactive and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors to create waterfront experiences unique to Downtown Jacksonville.
FIS provides technology for financial institutions. The Jacksonville-based Fortune 500 company will be headquartered in the new 12-story office tower with an eight-story parking garage along Riverside Avenue.
The proposed project requires additional permits from the state, including the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, are required before the slips can be built.
Should FIS fail to secure the permits to construct the slips and fail to complete the slips within one year, the resolution and the allocation of development rights will expire.
