From the Daily Record
The EverBank Center in Downtown Jacksonville joins at least two other Downtown towers that are for sale.
Colliers International Northeast Florida CEO and Principal Robert Selton said this month there has been interest in the 30-story building and that ownership believes it’s a good time to market the tower.
The other towers which have been for sale are the Aetna Building and the Wells Fargo Center.
The Aetna Building is on the Southbank and was built as the southeastern headquarters for the Prudential Insurance Co. The Wells Fargo Building originally was built for the Independent Life Insurance Company’s headquarters.
The EverBank Center was built in 1983 and originally was a joint project by Bell South and the Charter Co., but Charter pulled out and the telephone company has been the main tenant over the years.
The company is now AT&T and is downsizing, and will drop the leased space from 86 percent to about 61 percent.
The Colliers marketing team is Selton, Chuck Diebel, chief operating officer and principal in Northeast Florida, and Achikam Yogev, senior vice president of the South Florida office.
