The CSI Companies announced July 23 it will relocate and expand its headquarters at The Point at Gate Parkway at 7720 Baymeadows Road E.

CSI is a national staffing firm with about 130 Jacksonville employees now based at 9995 Gate Parkway N., about 4 miles north of the new site.

The CSI Companies was founded in 1995 and marks its 25th anniversary this year.

“We have outgrown our current building and because this is our national headquarters, we were looking for someplace we can be for the next 10+ years,” Chief Operating Officer Chris Flakus said in an email.

Ash Properties developed the three-story, 54,354-square-foot Point at Gate Parkway. 

CSI will occupy the entire building and move in February or March, Flakus said.

It continues to hire in the meantime.

CSI said the building features a horseshoe-shaped layout, a private center courtyard, and an interconnected stairwell with marble and stone finishes.

CSI said the space will feature a state-of-the-art fitness center on the first floor and a café-style lounge as well as collaborative spaces around the building. 

The building will be the home for CSI specialty divisions: CSI Financial, CSI Healthcare IT, CSI Professional, CSI Tech and its nonprofit organization, CSI Gives Back. 

 “When thinking about what our new office space needed, everything came back to our people,” Flakus said in the news release.

Connie Turner, principal of Connie Turner Interiors, designed the space.

Brad Chrischilles, principal and Jacksonville director at Foundry Commercial, represented CSI in the site search.

The release said CSI conducted dozens of surveys and considered multiple areas of town before choosing The Point at Gate Parkway.

CSI moved in 2004 to 9995 Gate Parkway N., where it leases about 40,000 square feet.

The CSI Companies provides national staffing in the technology, financial, accounting, health care and other professional industries.

In 2010, The CSI Companies became a part of Recruit Global Staffing, which is active in Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania.
