The city is reviewing civil engineering plans for Atlanta-based Rooker s proposed 168,000-square-foot speculative building at Perimeter West Industrial Park in Northwest Jacksonville.
The structure is planned on 10.48 acres at Perimeter Industrial Parkway West in the park at northwest Interstate 295 and Pritchard Road.
Rooker Vice President Cason Bufe said by email Aug. 10 no tenants are lined up for the estimated $7 million building.
“We have not set dates yet for construction commencement or completion, but I expect that it will be a 2021 completion date,” Bufe said then.
The new spec building is designed to accommodate up to four tenants.
“Multiple spec industrial buildings in the Jacksonville market have leased up over the last 9 months. The market for Class-A industrial space has tightened significantly over that time,” Bufe said.
An 11th Northeast Florida Amazon.com Inc. facility is planned, this one a delivery station in Northwest Jacksonville.
The city is reviewing plans for a $16 million, 155,819-square-foot delivery station, code-named DJX5, in the Perimeter West Industrial Park.
The new speculative building is at 4345 Perimeter Industrial Parkway N.
The DJX designation is Amazon’s code for a Jacksonville delivery station.
Plans say the station is designed for a package delivery service with two shifts – one day, one evening – and a potential third shift during peak seasons.
