The Callahan Town Council is deferring a vote on plans for a new medical office building until Sept. 3. 

Callahan Town Commissioner Janet Shaw told developer Cross Regions Group on Aug. 19 that she wants to see a 3D rendering before voting.

The town’s Planning and Zoning Board recommends approval of the 6,600-square-foot facility at southeast U.S.1 and Fourth Avenue off Lem Turner Road.

Plans for a Cross Regions medical office building in Callahan show 11 beds and 56 parking spaces.

The planned building is across the street from a Wells Fargo branch and a block north of Baptist Primary Care in Callahan. 

Site plans show 11 beds, 56 parking spaces and a retention pond. Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer.

According to the Cross Regions website, the company plans to break ground in 2024.

The site plans don’t indicate a tenant and Cross Regions did not return calls for comment.

Cross Regions is active in developing medical properties.

It is developing the mixed-use The Fountains at St. Johns in St. Johns County, which includes an Ascension St. Vincent’s health center, Jacksonville University health care sciences program campus and the TyMe Institute, a cancer prevention clinic.

Other developments at The Fountains includes a Home2 Suites hotel, retail space, a 10,000-square-foot restaurant and an active-living facility.

Cross Regions also announced plans July 24 to develop a former parking lot in Downtown Jacksonville into high-rise condos.
