The last large piece of The Jacksonville Landing will begin to come down Jan. 6.
James Croft, city assistant director of public affairs, said the section of the Northbank Riverwalk in front of the Landing will be closed starting Jan. 6 until further notice.
All that stands is the eastern end of the building along the Riverwalk, as well as the outer wall and awning on the north side of the property.
The western part of the building, which previously housed Hooters restaurant, was demolished by Dec. 30.
Demolition began in October, and D.H. Griffin Wrecking Co. needs to be finished by May 28 to meet the city’s deadline.
The work to take down the Landing won’t just be Downtown.
The 16 interstate and road signs throughout Jacksonville guiding drivers to the former shopping center will be updated in the spring, according to Florida Department of Transportation spokesman Hampton Ray.
It’s part of the I-10/1-95 Operational Improvement project that is underway.
