From the Four Seasons Hotel and rebuilt Shipyards marina to Riverfront Plaza, Metropolitan Park, and the new Downtown Riverwalk, Downtown Jacksonville is in the middle of its biggest transformation in decades — more than $230 million in public riverfront investment alone. Follow the cranes, groundbreakings, and grand openings reshaping the urban core.
nPearl Square
Pearl Square is the $750M+ centerpiece of Downtown Jacksonville’s revival — a nine-block, 1.5-million-square-foot district from Gateway Jax bringing over 1,250 new residences, a Publix-anchored tower, Hotel Merrydelle, restaurants, beer gardens, and a curbless festival street to the urban core. The first residences open in summer 2026.
Jacksonville Beach Development
New construction and redevelopment along Jacksonville’s beaches — from projects near the Pier and Seawalk Pavilion to new residential and mixed-use buildings reshaping the Beaches Town Center.
Jacksonville Aviation Development
Jacksonville International Airport is mid-expansion: a $340M+ Concourse B addition with six new gates opening late 2026, a new 2,000-space parking garage, and an Amazon Air cargo hub. Watch the growth of JAX firsthand.
Jacksonville eTown Development
eTown is a 1,500-acre master-planned community off I-295 near 9B, built around community, technology, and sustainability. The Menlo apartments are open, a walkable Village Center is taking shape, and a Wavegarden surf park lagoon is breaking ground for a 2027 opening.
