The city issued a permit Dec. 7 for iConstructors LLC of Tampa to renovate a Mandarin office building for Bank OZK at a construction cost of $830,907.
Bank OZK, based in Little Rock, Arkansas, bought the building at 12250 San Jose Blvd. from 121 Financial Credit Union for $2 million in a sale that closed Oct. 12, 2021.
The 2,668-square-foot office was built in 2001 on 1.47 acres.
Jacksonville-based 121 Financial relocated to 11112 San Jose Blvd, Unit 5.

The job cost for the 3,502-square-foot project is estimated at $350,000.
Bank OZK also bought that building from 121 Financial Credit Union. Bank OZK paid $2 million on Jan. 4 for the 3,757-square-foot office.
“Bank OZK recognizes Jacksonville as an important growth market and we look forward to enhancing our presence so we can provide more clients with best-in-class solutions to their banking needs,” Bank OZK said in a statement in January.
