Brightman Boulevard south of Topgolf is gaining an iFLY indoor skydiving center as well as Floor & Décor.
The iFLY center is proposed within what is called the Hanover Planned Unit Development.
Applicant Cycorp Engineering Inc. of Winter Springs applied to the city in October for a minor modification to the PUD.
It seeks approval to increase the building height from 65 feet to 72 feet to enclose the mechanical equipment; to increase the number of parking spaces to 37; and to increase the signage to allow for wall signs.
A narrative said the size of the 5,200-square-foot building would equate to an allowed 21 parking spaces, but iFLY needs more.
While the center is a single-story building, the mechanical equipment is above it and incorporated into the design for aesthetics, it said, explaining the height request.
A spokeswoman for iFLY said by email in late September that the Jacksonville location was confirmed.
In July, Sky Entertainment LLC Managing Partner Chester Schwartz said his group signed a contract for 2.5 acres for development of a $10 million to $12 million iFLY project.
He said then that iFLY, which would be south of Topgolf along Interstate 295, should be completed by October 2018.
Site plans filed with the modification application show iFLY will be developed on 1.14 acres next to the 6-acre site for the proposed flooring outlet.
Sky Entertainment representatives Duke Addison and Amanda Kinkade with Addison Commercial Real Estate Inc. said in July the land sale should be completed early next year.
They also said that Sky Entertainment doesn’t need the entire site and would market 1.4 acres for another entertainment or restaurant user. Plans show that site immediately west of the iFLY location.
IFLY, based in Austin, Texas, calls itself “the experiential entertainment company that created modern indoor skydiving.”
It developed technology that creates a wall-to-wall air cushion generated by giant fans in a flight chamber.
