The St. Johns River Water Management District is reviewing plans for the $55 million St. Vincent’s HealthCare riverfront heart and vascular pavilion.

Plans show the four-story project at King Street and fronting the St. Johns River. Plans indicate a 25,000-square-foot footprint. Spokesman Kyle Sieg said the pavilion is designed at 82,863 square feet.

It will be developed where Seton Hall was demolished.

St. Vincent’s, part of Ascension Jacksonville, announced in November it would break ground this summer with a projected opening in fall 2019.

Gresham Smith and Partners is the architect and Goodson Nevin and Associates is the consulting engineer.

St. Vincent’s Riverside is at 1 Shircliff Way, off Riverside Avenue.

The pavilion will include 30 medical and surgical rooms and 30 intensive care rooms. It primarily will be used for heart and vascular needs, including two nursing units to care for patients who undergo open-heart surgeries and other cardiovascular procedures.

Another former Kmart site is marketed for redevelopment.

Prime Realty is offering the 11.5-acre site at 4645 Blanding Blvd., including the closed 107,000-square-foot discount store, for sale at $4.79 million or for lease.

The Kmart was built in 1969 and closed in 2013.

Prime Realty says in its offering that it is a “great site with a lot of potential to include a car dealership, warehouse user, self-storage user, big box retail user or a re-development opportunity.”

Prime Realty also notes there are 22 car dealerships within 2.5 miles of the subject property.

The Kmart site at Beach and University boulevards is targeted for redevelopment led by principals of NAI Hallmark.
