Imeson Park is at northeast North Main Street and Zoo Parkway,
Carey said in April the industrial market is active, primarily because of one sector. “I think it’s pretty straightforward. It’s all about e-commerce,” Carey said.
Along with internet retailer Amazon.com, a lot of large companies are expanding their e-commerce distribution, he said.
“We participate in a number of calls with market experts to talk about various sectors and clearly the e-commerce distribution side of industrial appears to be the one sector that is poised to continue to grow,” he said in April.
Several 1 million-square-foot buildings that match the need for e-commerce centers are in review in Jacksonville, including one at northeast Interstate 95 and Pecan Park Road, also in North Jacksonville.
Benderson Development Co. LLC of University Park plans to start work on two industrial buildings totaling 2 million square feet of space, comprising the 498,960-square-foot Building 100 and the almost 1.54 million-square-foot Building 200.
