Dozier Prestige Worldwide LLC, a company working through Contega Business Services LLC, bought the unused parking structure that remains from the demolished Park View Inn on the edge of Springfield.
Dozier Prestige Worldwide paid $2.5 million for the almost 1.5-acre block at 901 N. Main St., bordered by Main, State, Ocean and Orange streets.
The site is in the Springfield area north of Downtown Jacksonville.
Dozier Prestige bought the property Oct. 6 from Jacksonville Hospitality Holdings LLC, led by Robert van Winkel.
DLP Lending Fund LLC of Allentown, Pennsylvania, issued a $1.62 million balloon mortgage.
The deed and mortgage were recorded Oct. 10 with the Duval County Clerk of Court.
The Dozier Prestige name was filed with the state Sept. 15, 2021. Its manager is Contega Business Services, which is housed at the Driver, McAfee, Hawthorne & Diebenow law firm Downtown.
Contega.com is a website under construction but says it provides entity formation services and entity maintenance services, including registered agent services and fictitious name registration.
William M. Hammill II, partner and vice president of operations at the firm, signed the mortgage as executive vice president of Contega Business Services, which is manager of Dozier Prestige Worldwide.
He also signed the articles of organization with the state as the authorized representative and acceptance by Contega Business Services to be the registered agent.
There was no indication what is planned at the property.
Driver, McAfee, Hawthorne & Diebenow partner Steve Diebenow said Oct. 11 he had no comment on behalf of the client.
Originally the Heart of Jacksonville Motor Hotel and built in 1966, the property was at one time one of the city’s premier lodging destinations.
It then operated as the Park View Inn until it closed in 2003.
By 2011, most of the site was demolished with the help of a $300,000 Community Development Block grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The parking deck remains.
In March 2021, Tampa-based Southport Financial Services said it expected to buy the property for redevelopment into an affordable rental community, but did not.
The crexi.com real estate website added the property Oct. 26, 2021, and says it is under contract.
