“Jacksonville is CSI’s national headquarters and we wanted to make a statement about our commitment to employees and to the city,” said Chief Operating Officer Chris Flakus in a previous interview.

The CSI Companies provides national staffing in the technology, financial, accounting, health care and other professional industries.

Marand Builders Inc. is the contractor. Connie Turner Interiors Inc. is the interior designer.

Flakus said Oct. 15 the goal is to move in during March and be up and running April 1.

Jacksonville-based Ash Properties developed the 54,354-square-foot Point at Gate Parkway. 

Brad Chrischilles, principal and Jacksonville director at Foundry Commercial, represented CSI in the site search.

The CSI Companies announced July 23 it will relocate and expand its headquarters to the structure.

CSI has about 120 Jacksonville employees and is adding staff.

In 2004, CSI moved to 9995 Gate Parkway N., where it leases about 40,000 square feet. That is about 4 miles north of the new site. 

“We are growing at a very fast rate and we do continue to hire,” Flakus said.

The CSI Companies was founded in 1995 and marks its 25th anniversary this year.

The building will be the home for CSI specialty divisions: CSI Financial, CSI Healthcare IT, CSI Professional, CSI Tech and its nonprofit organization, CSI Gives Back.
