Re-imagining The Jacksonville Landing

Posted Dec 9, 2009

At a recent American Planning Association Conference held in Jacksonville, nearly two dozen planners from all across Florida participated in a charette to re-imagine The Jacksonville Landing.

After touring The Jacksonville Landing, learning about recent and upcoming developments in the area and participating in design discussions, participants made the following recommendations to help The Jacksonville Landing capitalize on its potential:

- open the center of the building to allow river views
- add a mixed use component, including residential and/or office
- integrate the building into upcoming Laura Street improvements
- maximize river views throughout the property
- build a parking garage
- add a major attraction
- expand the marina
- add green space
- maximize waterfront dining
- remove Main Street Bridge ramps and create super-block
