Jacksonville-based First Coast Energy LLP bought property at northeast San Jose Boulevard and Marbon Road for development of a gas station and convenience store and a car wash.

First Coast Energy intends to develop a Daily’s, Dash and a standard car wash on the property at 3011 Marbon Road, which has been considered for several other uses.

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority sold the 9.11-acre property to First Coast Energy for $2.4 million June 14. JTA spokeswoman Leigh Ann Rassler said the property is zoned for retail and residential use.

She said JTA is working with First Coast Energy for a reduced Park-N-Ride as part of the development.

First Coast Energy spokeswoman Andrea Kane said there was no time frame for development. The company owns and operates 37 Daily’s stores, according to Dailys.com

“Daily’s is committed to growing our presence here in our Northeast Florida home,” Kane said.

 “As the Daily’s brand continues to grow, so will our commitment to the neighborhoods and communities in which we work and live, specifically right here in the greater Jacksonville area,” she said.

Kay Jewelers leaves Regency Square for site farther east

Signet Jewelers said its Kay Jewelers store closed last week at Regency Square Mall as a new store opened 3 miles east.

The Atlantic West store, at 11770 Atlantic Blvd., opened Wednesday, said a spokesman.

Kay Jewelers is on the west end of the center.

America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses anchors the east end and GNC is scheduled to lease the center space.

JU set to build campus Welcome Center

Jacksonville University could soon welcome its new Welcome Center at its Arlington campus.

The St. Johns River Water Management District issued a permit for the project and the city issued concurrency statements for it.

Jacksonville University intends to build the 11,750-square-foot building on the 207-acre campus at 2800 University Blvd. N.

The center will consolidate functions that are spread among the campus.

The Concurrency Reservation Certificate states there will no increase in staff as a result of the center.

The city issued a Conditional Capacity Availability Statement and a Concurrency Reservation Certificate which address the project’s impact on water, sewer and other service.
