The second phase of Imeson Landing Business Park has been completed with the construction of Buildings 400 and 500, developer Merritt Properties said in a March 12 news release.
The park is at 1250 Imeson Park Blvd., at Imeson Park Boulevard and Zoo Parkway in North Jacksonville.
The two flex/light industrial buildings total 128,400 square feet of space.
The construction cost for the two buildings was $7.5 million.
The first phase of development comprises three buildings totaling 137,800 square feet. They are fully occupied.
“These flex/light industrial buildings represent our commitment to delivering high-quality spaces that support the growth of our customers and their businesses,” Gary Swatko, director of development and construction at Merritt Properties, said in the release.
The second phase buildings have 20-foot high ceilings, rear-loaded docks and a shared truck court. The warehouse space can be used for offices, retail and warehouse purposes.
“With the finalization of Buildings 400 and 500, Imeson Landing Business Park is currently home to 20 businesses, a testament to the park’s appeal as a destination for companies seeking modern, adaptable spaces in a strategic location,” said Pat Franklin of Merritt’s Florida leasing team.
The five buildings sit on 24.24 acres.
