Jacksonville-based Web.com Group Inc. will relocate its headquarters from Flagler Center to the Town Center Two building that will be developed at 5379 Gate Parkway.
Web.com, a leading global provider of internet services and online marketing solutions for small businesses, announced today it expects to occupy the six-story, 218,700-square-foot building in spring 2019.
VanTrust Real Estate will develop the building on an 18-acre site and it will offer 1,200 parking spaces.
"Since Web.com first opened its doors in 1997, we have grown from a small Jacksonville startup to a global employer of nearly 3,800 employees, of which nearly 1,000 Jacksonville employees are split between two office buildings with no room to expand," said David L. Brown, Web.com's chairman, CEO and president.
"We look forward to soon serving our customers and employees out of a centrally located headquarters that affords us room for continued growth in Jacksonville."
Web.com said the structure will be built with an open floor plan with collaborative workspaces to foster greater teamwork, creativity and efficiency.
It will offer a dining area, fitness center and health clinic. Web.com employees also will have access to an outdoor courtyard and pedestrian walkway under Butler Boulevard to St. Johns Town Center, the announcement said.
Town Center Two was chosen because it is a brief commute for a majority of Web.com's Jacksonville employees and also for proximity to shopping and dining at St. Johns Town Center and easy access to interstates 95 and 295 and Butler Boulevard.
In addition to Jacksonville, Web.com operates out of another 28 U.S. markets and in the countries of Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Spain and the United Kingdom, it said.
Town Center Two will be developed and owned by VanTrust Real Estate LLC.
Rolland, DelValle & Bradley Inc. is the architectural and interior design firm; England-Thims & Miller, Inc. is providing civil engineering services; and Brasfield & Gorrie is the general contractor.
Web.com said real estate advisory firm Mohr Partners Inc. was its representative on the transaction.
