Two home-building companies have announced they’ll be jointly developing a 1,600-house community with apartments and a million square feet of commercial and retail space around Jacksonville’s Butler Boulevard and Interstate 295.
The development, called Seven Pines, will fill one of the last parcels available in the southeast quadrant of the land where the two highways meet.
ICI Homes and David Weekley Homes have planned groundbreaking next month on land just south of where Kernan Boulevard ends south of Butler.
“There’s something magical about this land,” developer David Weekley said in comments for an announcement about the project. “The property is a sanctuary where nature leads the way amid Jacksonville’s bustling Southside.”
