Two of six 44-year-old single-story buildings are coming down near the Southbank waterfront at Riverplace Boulevard, near the Chart House restaurant and the Southbank Hotel by Marriott Jacksonville Riverwalk.
The restaurant and hotel are not involved or affected.
The city issued a permit May 13 for Elev8 Demolition to take down Buildings 2 and 3, totaling about 5,500 square feet, at 1501 Riverplace Blvd., near the Jacksonville Riverwalk.
The structures are closest to Wharfside Way off of Riverplace Boulevard at the entrance to the Chart House and the hotel.
Miami-based Amkin Riverwalk LLC, led by South Florida investor Ramon Llorens, owns the property.
Elev8 partner Ben Pfotenhauer said May 13 that the only plans currently are to demolish the two buildings and landscape the site.
The demolition will be performed with an excavator and the debris hauled to a landfill. A safety fence will close in the property with a silt fence to control sediment. Work will be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a duration of five days. No trees will be removed.
The six office and retail buildings, totaling more than 20,000 square feet, were developed in 1981.
To the west are The Peninsula and The Strand residential towers.
Llorens, through Brickell South Miami Developments LLC, acquired the property Aug. 31, 2015, from a company reorganizing under bankruptcy laws.
Documents detailing the sale said the acquisition comprised 7.5 acres while Duval County property records show the group owns at least 4.5 acres.
The property includes the more than 9,000-square-foot Chart House restaurant, a seventh building on the site built in 1982.
