Plans for the Jacksonville Surf Park announced Oct. 1 show more than just the lagoons.
They show the project will create a wave of other development.
The civil engineering site plan for global surf-park developer Aventuur’s proposed Jacksonville Surf Park shows the surf lagoons as well as 63,970 square feet of “surf park ecosystem” uses; 45,500 square feet of retail and restaurant space; a 120-room hotel; and 300 apartments.
There is total parking of 1,822 spaces.
The site is 55.27 acres at 11374 E Town Parkway. Prosser Prime AE submitted civil engineering plans to the city Sept. 30.
