The city is reviewing at least $52 million in construction work as part of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ new $120 million Sports Performance Center.
Detroit-based Rossetti applied for five building permits from the city in addition to a sixth filed earlier in January for a $5 million steel package.
The Jaguars partnered with the city to build a 127,087-square-foot practice, training and executive team office facility near TIAA Bank Field.
The latest permit applications cover foundation and vertical construction including:
• $3 million for the performance center building foundation.
• $19.4 million for foundation work on the indoor practice facility.
• $5.1 million for foundation work for the outdoor bleachers with mercantile shops below.
• $5.1 million for vertical construction of the outdoor bleachers with mercantile shops below.
• $19.4 million for vertical construction of the indoor practice field.
On Jan. 7, the city issued a permit for tree removal at the performance center site at 1270 E. Beaver St., northwest of the stadium.
Some of the applications have duplicated job costs. The final costs will be determined through the review process.
Rossetti specializes in sports entertainment facilities design, including work with the Daytona International Speedway and Arthur Ashe Stadium for the U.S. Open in Queens, New York.
City Council voted unanimously in August to approve a bill that authorizes Mayor Lenny Curry’s administration to borrow $60 million to help finance the city’s half of the project cost.
Plans filed with the steel package permit application show Jacksonville-based England, Thims & Miller Inc. is the civil engineer on the Jaguars project.
The project’s other contractors are firms based throughout the U.S.
FP&C Consultants of North Kansas City, Missouri, will be responsible for code monitoring and site safety.
Detroit-based Resurget Engineering is the structural engineer; Idibri of Addison, Texas, is the technology and security contractor; Lenexa, Kansas-based Henderson Engineering Inc. is the lighting engineer; and Lincoln, Nebraska-based Food Lines is the facility’s food service provider.
According to the legislation and the NFL team’s public agreement, the Jaguars will move team offices; an equipment room; and weight training and medical facilities from the stadium to the city-owned performance center.
The Downtown Development Review Board approved the facility design in October to include an indoor practice field; two outdoor natural-grass fields with about 2,300 bleacher seats; a team store; and concession facilities.
The Jaguars plan to break ground in 2022 on the performance center and a $321 million Four Seasons hotel-anchored project through team owner Shad Khan’s development company Iguana Investments Florida LLC.
