New Shipyards Renderings

[HurricaneTeen]

I'm pretty excited that we're finally seeing something going on this project...I like the rendering overall, but they need to do something with those horrible light blue boxes on the left...I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of changes made to this before it's actually built.

Finally some updates on this project. I was getting a little worried.

It looks....OK. The original Shipyard renderings were better. Oh well, this is MUCH better than nothing!

[Charlotteman]

Any prospective groundbreaking date?

Any prospective groundbreaking date?

No, this project has been moving notoriously slow and the project could turn out completely different than it looks here, too....Developers and beaurocracy suck...I hope they keep that sweet cylindrical building, though...It almost looks like a supertall

It almost looks like a supertall

Or an ionic breeze...

I agree with the other posts. Sweet concept, ditch the "box buildings", and keep the circular structure.

Does anyone know when this project intends to break ground or even get approval from the City? Furthermore, which building do you speculate they will start with first. I hope it's the cyclinderical building.

New information...

Shipyards project gets re-imagined

The LandMar Group released its plan for the first phase of the Shipyards on Wednesday, opening another

chapter in the beleaguered saga of the 44-acre site along Jacksonville's riverfront.

I like the tower renderings on their site. I think I'll have to live there.... someday.

I had to model this one in Google Earth. Its really going to lengthen the skyline!

Looking down Bay Street...

The view from the new public pier...

That's awesome.

That is fantastic. This project is really going to add a lot to Jacksonville's skyline. particularly that building to the far right that looks to be a separate project. Though I would like to see more buildings like BofA. Its really awesome to see the Jax skyline from the Dames Point bridge, with B of A as the 'peak'

[asonj23]

The building to the right you're referring to is the St. John Hotel & Residences, now called the St. James. Its the 70 story proposal that would become the city's tallest if built.

I hate when they do phases. Take a chance and build the entire thing at once.

I'M WITH YA!

Like any good meal, the chef often spends much more time prepping than he does actually cooking. Hours of shopping, chopping and mixing may only require about 30 minutes in the pan to produce a meal fit for a king.
