Noah’s Event Venue, which intends to build and open one of its traditional centers at Southside Quarter in Jacksonville, is closer to developing the project.

The city issued a concurrency reservation certificate for the 8,181-square-foot project on 1.38 acres at 11507 Village Crossing Drive, off Gate Parkway at southwest Interstate 295 and Butler Boulevard.

Noah’s Event Venue in Milford Center, Ohio, is the agent and Rockwell Jacksonville LLC of Sandy, Utah, is the property owner.

The traditional venues are indoor centers.

Brandon Jensen, vice president of construction, said the locations will open eight to 10 months after construction begins. He said the company was obtaining a building permit.

The noahseventvenue.com site promotes the Jacksonville location as under construction and a 19-minute drive from the airport “and surrounded by impressive urban views and sunny beaches.”

“Noah’s in Jacksonville, Florida is the ideal southern venue to celebrate your wedding day, corporate event, family celebration, fundraiser, bar mitzvah, holiday party, or other special event,” it says.

Rockwell paid $1.2 million for the property in March.

Noah’s Event Venue, based in South Jordan, Utah, operates more than 60 indoor and outdoor venues in 24 states. The website shows almost 50 traditional indoor sites, with six under construction.

Regal converting to a 4DX theater

Regal Cinemas will convert a theater at its Regal Avenues Stadium 20 into 4DX, providing not only sight and sound but movement, weather conditions and strong scents. Blalock Building Co. Inc. of Trussville, Alabama, is the contractor for the $672,030 project approved Aug. 1 by the city. The theater is at 9525 Philips Highway. As of December, there were 475 4DX locations around the world, up from 346 in December 2016 and 40 in 2012.

9 Zero Pour to open Southside taproom

9 Zero Pour intends to open a taproom and package sales at Hodges Station at 13529 Beach Blvd., No. 205B. 

It will offer 16 taps rotating craft beer and some wine. In addition to package sales, it also will offer growler fills to go. 

It plans to open in October. Owners are Ted Ricks and Ed Joseph Mateo. The name is a play on the local 904 area code, replacing the 4 with Pour, as in pour a beer.
