Fleet Landing at Nocatee is taking shape.
The city issued permits July 29 for Fleet Landing at Nocatee to build three residential buildings totaling a project cost of almost $114.35 million.
The permits are among the more than $148 million in projects approved or pending at the residential Life Plan Community campus for adults ages 62 and older, an expansion from the original Fleet Landing in Atlantic Beach.
Brasfield & Gorrie LLC is the contractor for the Nocatee at Fleet Landing on 35.44 acres at 555 Cross Town Drive. Perkins Eastman Architects DPC is the architect.
The campus is on the Duval County side of Nocatee near the border with St. Johns County.
The three buildings comprise:
• A $72 million nine-story, 107,969-square-foot, 107-apartment independent living building with three dining venues and a cafe for residents. Amenity spaces include a classroom, library, art room, bridge room and gallery on the ground floor; a performing arts center connected to the tower; and support spaces that include administration, marketing and staff offices.
• The $21.173 million West Flats, a three-story, 64,105-square-foot building with 17 independent living apartments. The ground floor includes resident parking, storage, building support spaces and an entry lobby. The upper floors are residential units with screened balconies.
• A $21.173 million East Flats, similar to the West Flats.
The city issued a site-clearing permit June 23 at a project cost of $9.8 million.
The city continues to review permits for:
• The $19.8 million Fleet Landing at Nocatee ALMC, a three-story, 53,755-square-foot assisted living memory care building with 25 one-bedroom and 19 two-bedroom units along with amenity spaces that include a dining room, living room and entry lobby along with staff support space.
• A swimming pool and spa at $2 million.
• A site-work permit for $650,286.
• A gathering pavilion at $298,000.
• A guardhouse at $126,000.
Fleet Landing announced in January 2020 that it bought 35 acres for the campus to provide single-family homes and apartments for independent living along with assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing.
The facility will include resort-style amenities, activities, services and programs.
Fleet Landing said in 2020 it decided to build the Nocatee campus in response to the more than 400 families waiting to join the first Fleet Landing developed in 1990 in Atlantic Beach.
The city issued a permit Feb. 6, 2024, for Brasfield & Gorrie to build a 2,400-square-foot sales and marketing office on 0.38 acre at 575 Cross Town Drive at a project cost of $1 million.
The Fleet Landing at Nocatee website says it will offer senior independent residential living for adults age 62 or older, providing services, amenities, and long-term care. A one-time entrance fee guarantees lifetime residency, amenities and access to on-site care. Entrance fees start at $395,000.
The site says construction will begin in 2025 and will be completed in phases through 2027.
It will include tower apartments, flats and cottages. The 30 floor plans are from 849 square feet to 2,964 square feet.
Amenities include dining options, a fitness center, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a dog park, bike share and a walkable central greenway with paths that connect to the Nocatee Greenway Trails.
A performing arts center, game rooms and art studio.
Fleet Landing’s first campus, established by a group of military officers in 1985, is in Atlantic Beach. The not-for-profit’s mission is “to enrich the lives of older adults through high-quality programs and services to support successful aging.”
It offers independent, assisted and supported living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation and health care services.
The Naval Continuing Care Retirement Foundation Inc., doing business as Fleet Landing, is the developer.
