The city approved a permit Aug. 11 for bestbet Jacksonville to build-out its corporate offices at its Regency area poker, simulcast and racing center at a cost of $1.57 million.
Tenant Contractors Inc. will build-out 14,710 square feet of the 141,174-square-foot building at 201 Monument Road into bestbet’s headquarters space.
The remaining 126,464 square feet would remain in its current uses.
Monument Road Landlord LLC, affiliated with bestbet, paid $3.5 million for the building in August 2011. The LLC is based at 455 Park Ave. in Orange Park.
That’s where bestbet ended greyhound racing after a 2018 constitutional amendment approved by Florida voters.
The amendment set a Dec. 31, 2020, deadline for ending greyhound racing at pari-mutuel facilities, though tracks started halting racing ahead of the deadline.
The Monument Road building’s previous uses include the Garden Ridge home decor warehouse and the Pace Membership Warehouse.
