Stanmore Partners is moving ahead in the regulatory process for its proposed Ravella at Town Center Apartment Homes in Jacksonville on land owned by Preferred Growth Properties LLC near St. Johns Town Center.
It’s one of several confirmed projects to join The Strand and its companion site, The Crossing, on 45 acres along Town Center and Gate parkways.
St. Johns River Water Management District plans show that Houston-based Stanmore Partners proposes 305 units in one phase.
It will comprise several four-story apartment buildings that wrap around a 451-space, seven-level parking garage and two courtyards. The pool courtyard is open to Lake Meadowbrook.
England-Thims & Miller Inc. is the agent. It submitted plans for a minor modification to the project.
Ravella at Town Center is planned on 6.6 acres at northwest Town Center and Midtown parkways.
Jason Schlanger, managing director of multifamily for Stanmore, said in November the group was under contract to buy the land in this year’s second quarter.
An earlier plan showed 347 units. Schlanger said Monday the company does not release information about its developments before closing on the land, which he expects later this summer.
Stanmore would buy the property from PGP Jacksonville TC LLC, part of Preferred Growth Properties, the real estate subsidiary of Books-A-Million Inc.
PGP bought 45 developable acres from members of Skinner family in March.
Hobby Lobby, Firebird’s Wood Fired Grill and Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen have confirmed locations in The Strand, the larger of the sites. Wawa Inc. plans to develop a gas station on an outparcel in The Crossing.
Also, the water management district gave notice it will grant a permit for PGP Jacksonville TC LLC to build 1.24 acres of roadway infrastructure and site grading for the 9.9-acre, five-outparcel The Crossing.
HarborChase closer to construction
Mandarin can soon expect construction to begin for the 114-unit HarborChase independent, assisted-living and memory care community.
The St. Johns River Water Management District is reviewing a minor modification for the project, designed on 4.1 acres at 12276 San Jose Blvd.
Jacksonville-based Vestcor Communities said in April it intended to break ground in June on the $26 million project at San Jose Boulevard and Mandarin Meadows Drive. It should be completed in August 2017.
The community will comprise 114 beds among 94 independent and assisted-living apartments and 20 memory-care unit among the three-story, 126,000-square-foot project, Vestcor said.
The one- and two-bedroom apartments will include utilities and other services, including dining created by an executive chef. There also are three outdoor courtyards –– a north and south courtyard and a memory courtyard.
Vestcor said it will partner with Vero Beach-based Harbor Retirement Associates, a senior living development and management company.
Ikea permitting continues
The St. Johns River Water Management District gave notice it will grant a permit for Ikea Property Inc.’s environmental resource permit to build a retail store, parking and a dry retention stormwater network.
Ikea paid $13 million last week for its 25-acre site at northwest Gate Parkway and Interstate 295. It intends to break ground this fall on its home-furnishings store and open in fall 2017.
Workout Anytime to lease at Duval Station
Workout Anytime will lease space at the Duval Station shopping center at 731 Duval Station Road.
The city is reviewing a permit application for the fitness center to lease 5,600 square feet of space, which will be built-out by TBD Construction Inc.
