Island Wing Co. Grill & Bar is set to build at 12689 Beach Blvd. in Tamaya, a residential and retail community at northeast Beach and Kernan boulevards.
The city issued a permit March 10 for Kaneco Construction LLC of Atlantic Beach to build the restaurant at a project cost of $3.2 million project in the Tamaya Market shopping center.
The Benedict Bullock Group of Deerfield Beach is the architect. CHW Professional Consultants of Alachua is the civil engineer.
Property owner OFFI Island Wing Tamaya LLC of West Palm Beach bought the site in November 2021 for $1.75 million.
The acquiring LLC is associated with restaurant groups that own Island Wing and other concepts.
The permit application shows the 6,960-square-foot restaurant will be built on 1.54 acres.
A state Department of Business & Professional Regulation signed off Feb. 6 on a food-service plan that shows total seating of 298 with another 30 for “leaning.”
There is dining room seating for 171; seating on two patios totaling 80; bar seating for 31; and cabana seating for 16.
Those plans show a total area of 9,271 square feet.
A site-clearing permit was issued July 17, 2023, at a job cost of $397,489.
The site is within the shopping center anchored by Sprouts Farmers Market. The restaurant is on Outparcel 2 at the southeast corner at Tamaya and Beach boulevards.
Colliers Vice Presidents Nancy Sumner and Katy Figg represent the Tamaya Market landlord in leasing the shopping center property.
The restaurant would be Island Wing Co. Grill & Bar’s third Northeast Florida restaurant.
Island Wing Co. opened its first Jacksonville area location at 4409 Southside Blvd. in the Tinseltown area of Deerwood North and the second at 360 Bartram Market Drive in Saint Johns.
The 7,700-square-foot Tinseltown location opened in early 2020 in a converted TGI Friday’s restaurant.
The 10,528-square-foot Bartram site opened in June 2022.
Island Wing says it bakes or grills – and doesn’t fry – its wings, fries, burgers and other ingredients on the rest of its menu that includes tacos, quesadillas, salads, flatbreads, sandwiches, macaroni and cheese and entrees. It also features appetizers and desserts.
It also offers more than 50 craft beers on tap.
Destin-based Island Wing Co., which franchises, opened its first restaurant in 2012 in Alabama.
The IslandWing.com site shows nine restaurants comprising two in Alabama, six in Florida and one in Virginia.
The other four in four in Florida are in Destin, Kissimmee, Orlando and Tallahassee.
