About six weeks after the site-clearing permit, the city issued one May 6 for construction of a Chase Bank branch in the Atlantic North development of East Arlington.
ACS Builds LLC of Orlando is the contractor for the $1.5 million construction project comprising a branch and drive-thru on 1.42 acres at 11939 Atlantic Blvd.
The city issued a site-clearing permit March 28 for the project. The address also is shown in plans as 11901 Atlantic Blvd.
The JPMorgan Chase & Co. retail banking center is planned as a 3,432-square-foot building in the Atlantic North shopping center at northwest Atlantic and Kernan boulevards. It includes a drive-thru ATM.
Landlord Sleiman Enterprises shows on its Atlantic North site plan that Chase will build on Outparcel D. Chase would lease the site.
BDG Architects of Tampa is the architect. Dynamic Engineering Consultants of Delray Beach is the civil engineer.
Chase has 25 branches in Northeast Florida and said it continues to open more this year and beyond.
New York City-based JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon told Jacksonville reporters during a visit Jan. 31, 2024, that the bank plans to add 10 more branches in the metropolitan area.
He said Jacksonville, then with 20 offices, is an expanding market.
Also, the first J.P. Morgan Private Bank office and client center in the region opened in spring 2024 in Ponte Vedra Beach.
Chase said that through the investments, the bank intends “to provide greater access to banking and financial services to more customers and communities to serve the growing population.”
Besides growing the branch network in the Jacksonville area, Dimon said JPMorgan may also add back-office operations in addition to its large mortgage center.
Chase is the U.S. consumer and commercial banking business of JPMorgan Chase & Co., which has assets of $4 trillion and operations worldwide. Chase said it serves nearly 80 million consumers and nearly 6 million small businesses, with financial services that include personal banking, credit cards, mortgages, auto financing, investment advice, small business loans and payment processing.
It has more than 4,700 branches in 48 states and the District of Columbia, more than 15,000 ATMs, mobile, online and by phone.
