Availity LLC, a health care IT company, anchors the building, developed by VanTrust Real Estate LLC.

VanTrust has 12,000 square feet remaining for lease in the 157,000-square-foot building.

Insight Global’s website shows it leases in Suite 220 at 245 Riverside Ave.

Kernan Courtyard by Marriott in review

 The St. Johns River Water Management District is reviewing plans for the five-story, 121-room Courtyard by Marriott at northeast Kernan and Butler boulevards.

Impact Kernan LLC paid $2.3 million for 2.27 acres to develop a 121-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel.

 Impact Properties posted on its website that it anticipates a 2020 opening for the Courtyard by Marriott at Butler and Kernan boulevards.

Rezoning sought for corporate lodging

 Beaver Dam Development LLC is asking the city to rezone 10.67 acres at 8833 Perimeter Park Blvd. from industrial business park to planned unit development for the WaterWalk corporate lodging development.

Ordinance 2019-165 would permit commercial and office uses.

WaterWalk, a Wichita, Kansas-based developer of extended-stay hotels and corporate lodging, is working toward a 153-room all-suites project at Perimeter Park, off Southside Boulevard.

 The city issued mobility fee calculation and concurrency reservation certificates, and JEA issued a service availability letter, for WaterWalk to develop a 35,000-square-foot project.

 Plans show two WaterWalk buildings of just more than 15,000 square feet each on 6.05 acres.

There is a future phase of 4.64 acres of up to 50,000 square feet of commercial space.
