Fields PAG Inc. applied for a permit to build its new Jaguar Land Rover Jacksonville dealership at 11211 Atlantic Blvd. in East Arlington.

No contractor is listed for the $3 million construction job, creating a 34,293-square-foot dealership with another 2,700 square feet of unenclosed space on 6.72 acres.

The project is a relocation of the Jaguar Land Rover dealership at 11216 Atlantic Blvd. next door.

Jaguar Land Rover owns the property. The Jacksonville Planning Commission approved a land-use change and rezoning for the dealership.

The land use amendment related to the vacant eastern 5.85 acres of the 12.1-acre property. The existing Jaguar Land Rover dealership is on the western portion of the site. 

Garry Redig, vice president of operations, said previously that Fields Automotive Group Inc. intends to demolish the existing Jaguar Land Rover building once the new facility is completed.

It then would build a new facility for Fields-owned Porsche Jacksonville to move from its current location at 10100 Atlantic Blvd.

There are three buildings on the existing Jaguar Land Rover site. Two, built in 2000, total 24,746 square feet and the third, developed in 2015, is 1,728 square feet. 

Ascension St. Vincent’s OK’d for Gate Parkway health center

Gate Parkway south of Butler Boulevard continues to gain commercial development. The city approved permits Tuesday for Ascension St. Vincent’s to build its proposed health center along the corridor south of St. Johns Town Center.

Brasfield & Gorrie LLC is the contractor for the $4.5 million project. The one-story, 15,182-square-foot center is under development at 6699 Gate Parkway next to the FBI building. 

The Gate Parkway location is expected to open in fall 2018.

St. Vincent’s plans to open 10 health centers in the area over 30 months at an estimated cost of $75 million. The first two opened in Mandarin and St. Johns County. 

The centers are designed to provide services such as urgent care, primary care, imaging, lab services and specialty care in one location.

Other new developments along Gate Parkway include the Town Center One and Two buildings, the Southside Quarter residential and commercial center and Ikea.

Retail notes

• The city approved construction of a 2,218-square-foot shell building and drive-thru for Starbucks at Windsor Commons at 4761 Hodges Blvd. at a cost of almost $798,000. Build-out will be permitted separately. The store will replace the existing Starbucks within the shopping center. 

• Sleiman Enterprises, through Villages of Amelia LLC, applied to Nassau County to build-out 20,000 square feet of retail space for a HomeGoods store at 463919 Florida 200 in Yulee in Nassau County.

• Heartland Dental also wants to build-out in Yulee. The dental office is asking Nassau County for approval for a 4,000-square-foot office at 463787 Florida 200.

• Wawa can build on the cleared site at 9731 Beach Blvd. now that the city approved three permits for the convenience store, gas canopy and dumpster enclosure at a construction cost of $1.1 million. Part of the Southside Estates Shopping Center was demolished at the property, at northeast Beach and Southside boulevards. A.T. Construction Management Inc. of Seminole is the contractor.
