AllianceFlorida at Cecil Commerce Center Hillwood is moving ahead with plans to develop a more than 250,000-square-foot building for an unidentified tenant.
It appears to be the first phase of a 500,000-square-foot project.
Hillwood, master developer at the Westside business park, submitted civil plans with the city and an environmental resource permit application with the St. Johns River Water Management District for Parcel F.
The civil plans show mass grading for a 251,375-square-foot building.
The 37.52-acre site for the first phase is at 13450 Waterworks St. at southwest POW-MIA Memorial Parkway and Waterworks Street. It is next to the Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations distribution center and across Waterworks Street from the JinkoSolar plant.
Prosser Inc. is the civil engineer.
Site information filed with the Water Management District says the proposed project comprises a 278,205-square-foot distribution warehouse with parking, truck storage and associated infrastructure, to be built in two phases.
The differing square foot indicates a final size that has not been determined.
Dallas-based Hillwood told the city June 29 it spent March working on site layouts for an unidentified prospect.
Hillwood said in its quarterly report to the city that it was approached in early March by a prospect interested in leasing a 500,000-square-foot build-to-suit distribution facility on Parcel F.
During the rest of the reporting period, Hillwood and the prospect exchanged drafts of a site plan and discussions continued.
The report follows Hillwood’s action in May to file civil engineering plans with the city to grade almost 63 acres for a 517,510-square-foot distribution warehouse on Parcel F.
In those plans, Hillwood did not identify a user or tenant for the building, which will be built in two phases.
Hillwood Senior Vice President Dan Tatsch said June 29 that he had no comment beyond what’s in the report.
The project description said that along with the warehouse, there will be parking, truck storage and associated infrastructure.
Hillwood won a competitive bid in 2009 to become the master developer of the 4,474-acre Cecil Commerce Center, which is a portion of the former Naval Air Station Cecil Field owned by the city.
