A spokeswoman for iFly said by email Thursday that the iFLY Jacksonville location is now confirmed.
That comes after a July 18 statement by Sky Entertainment LLC Managing Partner Chester Schwartz that his group signed a contract the previous Friday for 2.5 acres for development of a $10 million to $12 million iFLY project, an indoor skydiving venue.
He said then that iFLY, which would be south of Topgolf along Interstate 295, should be completed by October 2018.
Sky Entertainment representatives Duke Addison and Amanda Kinkade with Addison Commercial Real Estate Inc. said in July the land sale should be completed early next year.
They also said that Sky Entertainment doesn’t need the entire site and would market 1.4 acres for another entertainment or restaurant user.
Schwartz said iFLY would be 60 feet tall.
IFLY, based in Austin, Texas, calls itself “the experiential entertainment company that created modern indoor skydiving.”
It developed technology that creates a wall-to-wall air cushion generated by giant fans in a flight chamber.
