The city issued a permit June 30 for Ladson Construction Co. to build-out space for CBRE on the 30th floor of Wells Fargo Center Downtown at 1 Independent Drive W.
Jacksonville-based Ladson will renovate about 10,000 square feet of space at a project cost of almost $2.12 million for the CBRE commercial real estate office.
CBRE is moving from One Enterprise Center into the 35-floor Wells Fargo Center in the fourth quarter of 2023.
“As we considered how to improve our Jacksonville office, it was important to consider real estate options that would keep us in the heart of downtown,” said CBRE Executive Managing Director and Jacksonville market leader Tripp Gulliford in May.
“The space we found allows us to build out an innovative, flexible experience to better support the needs of our professionals and clients.”
CBRE said it signed a lease for 11,687 square feet of space.
The real estate firm will move from the ground floor at nearby One Enterprise Center at 225 Water St.
Wells Fargo Center also has two levels of basement parking. The building and One Enterprise Center are on the Northbank of the St. Johns River.
“Our Workplace360 office will create a new way of working in downtown Jacksonville, focusing on hybrid work and excellent amenities,” said Peter Van Emburgh, global head of CBRE’s corporate real estate, in May.
“The building allows us to create enhanced collaboration spaces and seamless technology, all with exceptional harbor views.”
CBRE Senior Vice President Lou Nutter and Vice President Billy Kuntz are the leasing representatives for Wells Fargo Center on behalf of the landlord.
