The city issued a permit Aug. 5 for Jacksonville-based Forcura LLC’s expanded headquarters space in Deerwood South.
Tenant Contractors Inc. will build-out almost 27,000 square feet of space at a construction cost of $1 million on the fourth floor of Building 400 at 10151 Deerwood Park Blvd.
The structure is in Deerwood South, at southeast Butler and Southside boulevards.
The health care technology company announced May 27 it will add 115 jobs by the end of 2022 and open the new headquarters with the help of city and state financial incentives.
Forcura said its rentable new office space is 29,951 square feet, and the usable area – excluding the common areas – is 26,940 square.
Connie Turner Interiors Inc. is the space designer.
The project’s completion is Oct. 19.
As of June 2019, Forcura leased 14,500 square feet of space at 4600 Touchton Road in the Deerwood North office complex.
As of May 27, it employed 73 people in Jacksonville.
Forcura told the city it will invest $2.15 million in real estate improvements, information technology equipment, furniture and fixtures.
The city and state approved $690,000, or $6,000 per job, in Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund incentives for the expansion. The state will pay 80% and the city will refund 20%.
The 115 jobs will have an average annual wage of $71,663.
Forcura’s products manage document workflow and secure communication for post-acute care providers.
Forcura is working with a Silicon Valley private equity investor to expand and innovate.
Accel-KKR announced July 16 it invested in Forcura, but did not disclose the amount.
The investment keeps current Forcura management, including CEO Craig Mandeville, in place.
Mandeville founded the company in 2012 in Jacksonville.
