The city approved demolition of the closed Adventure Landing at 4825 Blanding Blvd. in West Jacksonville for conversion of the property into parking for a nearby Amazon.com delivery station.

The city issued a permit Aug. 5 for Elev8 Land Clearing & Demolition to demolish and dispose of all buildings, structures and the parking area. The permit application specified a cost of $124,000.

Amazon previously filed plans to develop off-site parking at a 6.8-acre site combining the Westside park property with property at 4818 and 4824 Wesconnett Blvd.

Adventure Landing closed at the site in June.

The developer will spend $3 million to develop the site to serve the Amazon DJX2 delivery station that operates at a nearby former Kmart at 4645 Blanding Blvd.

The parking plans indicate 340 delivery van spaces.

BYT LLC, a subsidiary of LOTE Group LLC of Gainesville, is listed as the developer.

BYT paid $645,000 on June 1 for the almost 2.3-acre duplex and vacant commercial property along Wesconnett Boulevard. 

The sale of the Adventure Landing site to BYT has not been recorded yet.
