The city issued a permit Jan. 14 for Atlanta-based Rooker to build its proposed 168,000-square-foot Perimeter West Building Two speculative shell warehouse in Northwest Jacksonville.
FCL Builders LLC of Itasca, Illinois, is the contractor for the $6.98 million structure on about 10.48 acres at 4259 Perimeter Industrial Parkway W. in Perimeter West Industrial Park.
The park is at northeast Interstate 295 and Pritchard Road.
Rooker Vice President Cason Bufe said Nov. 9 that the building is under construction and scheduled for completion in summer 2022. He said it was available for pre-leasing.
Bufe said Aug. 10 that multiple spec industrial buildings in the market had leased up over the previous nine months.
“The market for Class-A industrial space has tightened significantly over that time,” Bufe said.
RP Perimeter West Two LLC is the developer of the proposed structure. Almond Engineering is the civil engineering firm. Pieper O’Brien Herr Architects of Alpharetta, Georgia, is the architect.
Rooker bought the remaining 39 acres of undeveloped land within Perimeter West Industrial Park in October 2018.
In November, Bufe said its first building, at 155,820 square feet, was about 71% leased with two leases totaling 110,670 square feet, with 45,150 square feet available.
Rooker is a full-service real estate development firm.
