More industrial development continues in West Jacksonville.
The city is reviewing horizontal development plans submitted June 17 for the second phase of Florida Gateway Logistics Park in West Jacksonville.
The 46.43-acre project comprises Buildings 4 and 6, totaling 829,200 square feet.
Building 4 is 650,000 square feet and Building 6 is 179,200 square feet.
The owner is listed as DRI/CTR Jax Phase II LLC of Newport Beach, California.
DRI/CTR Jax Landco LLC of Newport Beach had filed civil engineering plans with the city Jan. 12 for the development.
The park, also called Florida Gateway Logistics Center on plans, is at 9909 Pritchard Road in Westlake Industrial Park, west of Interstate 295.
England-Thims & Miller Inc. of Jacksonville is the civil engineer.
The first phase of the park comprises three buildings totaling almost 1.72 million square feet of space.
The city issued permits for those structures in April 2022 for Evans General Contractors.
They comprise the 1,000,350-square-foot Building 8, the 300,240-square-foot Building 2 and 416,000-square-foot Building 3.
Total Distribution Inc., a third-party logistics company, has leased the 1 million-square-foot warehouse. Total Distribution, formerly known as Grimes Companies, is part of Peoples Services Inc., based in Canton, Ohio.
Ownership has been selling off some of the property.
Owners sold the 300,240-square-foot Building 2 on Dec. 19, 2023, for $32.8 million to a joint venture of Clarion Partners LLC and Diamond Realty Investments. IPEX Inc., a Canada-based wholesale supplier of specialized PVC and thermoplastic piping systems, leases the building.
In March, owners sold the 416,000-square-foot Building 3 and expansion property to the neighboring Southeast Toyota Distributors LLC for almost $39.5 million. Southeast Toyota paid $38.27 million for the building and $1.2 million for an expansion parcel of about 4.5 acres that would allow for another 100,000 square feet.
The next phases will add more space. Buildings 1 and 7 are shown as future development.
California-based CT Realty in partnership with Diamond Realty Investments LLC bought 251acres in April 2021 for $19.5 million to develop the more than $300 million, 3.2 million-square-foot, eight-building industrial park.
