Fleet Landing at Nocatee is preparing to clear the roughly 35-acre site for its next residential Life Plan Community campus for adults ages 62 and older.
The city is reviewing a site-clearing permit at an estimated project cost of $9.8 million as well as a construction permit application for a pool and spa at $2 million.
Brasfield & Gorrie LLC is the contractor for the community at 555 Cross Town Drive.
Ponte Vedra Pine Co. LLC is the project owner. It is part of Naval Continuing Care Retirement Foundation Inc., which does business as Fleet Landing and is the developer.
The city has been reviewing building-permit applications that totaled $134.27 million for Fleet Landing at Nocatee. That now tops project costs of $146 million.
Perkins Eastman Architects DPC is the architect.
Fleet Landing announced in January 2020 that it bought 35 acres for a campus that will 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.
The campus is on the Duval County side of Nocatee near the border with St. Johns County.
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.
Brasfield & Gorrie LLC of Jacksonville is the construction manager.
In addition to the site-clearing and pool and spa, the permits in review include:
• A $72 million nine-story, 107,969-square-foot, 107-apartment independent living building with three dining venues and a cafe for residents on campus, with amenity spaces that 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, with a ground floor that includes resident parking, storage, building support spaces and an entry lobby. The upper floors consist of residential units with screened balconies.
• A $21.173 million East Flats, similar to the West Flats.
• 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 $126,000 guard house.
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 size range of the 30 floor plans is 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.
It says there also will be 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.
