Pearl Street District Block N5 moved closer to construction July 11 when the Downtown Development Review Board unanimously approved the conceptual design for the project after 10 minutes of presentation and discussion.
The site at 721 N. Pearl St. is part of the more than $400 million first phase of the Gateway Jax project in the NorthCore area.
The building, formerly owned by First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, is often referred to as the “lighthouse garage,” said attorney Cyndy Trimmer with Driver, McAfee, Hawthorne & Diebenow, representing the developer.
