The city is reviewing civil engineering plans for the proposed Lem Turner Business Park by Seefried Industrial Properties Inc. at northeast Interstate 295 and Lem Turner Road in Northwest Jacksonville.
Atlanta-based Seefried Industrial Properties proposes three industrial buildings totaling 499,000 square feet.
The plans, filed June 16, follow an application last year with the St. Johns River Water Management District.
Plans show the three buildings on 41.4 acres will comprise Building 100 at 138,000 square feet; Building 200 at 114,000 square feet; and Building 300 at 247,000 square feet.
Plans indicate the property comprises three parcels that will be accessed from Lem Turner Road, which is north of I-295 and south of Percy Road.
Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc. is the civil engineer. LG2 Environmental Solutions is a consultant.
The project is described as a proposed industrial development with associated infrastructure and stormwater management facilities.
Jacksonville’s first-quarter industrial 2023 vacancy rate is at 4% to 4.5% as landlords have been developing buildings for prospective tenants.
Seefriedproperties.com says the company specializes in the development, leasing and management of industrial real estate across the U.S.
Seefried partnered with USAA Real Estate Co. in 2016 to develop land for Jacksonville’s first Amazon fulfillment center in Northwest Jacksonville.
The developed property sold to an investor for $107.8 million in July 2020.
Seefried also owns land in North Jacksonville.
In April 2022, the national industrial real estate firm bought 63.4 acres in North Jacksonville, where it had submitted plans for a 525,000-square-foot warehouse.
Through a limited liability company, Seefried paid $8.5 million for two parcels of the undeveloped timberland. It bought the property from A-B Distributors Inc. of Jacksonville.
The property comprised two parcels – 32.08 acres and 31.32 acres.
Property records indicate about 53.6 acres is listed for a light industrial use.
The St. Johns River Water Management District received an application for that warehouse at 186 Pecan Park Road, at southwest Pecan Park Road and North Main Street.
Plans did not identify a tenant.
The conceptual plan identifies the project as Building 100, indicating more are planned.
