A week after the ceremonial groundbreaking, developers landed construction permits for Pritchard Park in Westlake Industrial Park in West Jacksonville.
The city issued permits June 5 for Evans General Contractors of Jacksonville to build the 97,200-square-foot Unit 100 and the 60,480-square-foot Unit 200 at 9770 Pritchard Road at a combined project cost of $15.34 million.
Westlake is along Pritchard Road about 4 miles west of Interstate 295, which connects to I-95 and I-10, Jacksonville International Airport and the Port of Jacksonville.
The groundbreaking was May 29. The city issued a permit March 5 for Hazel Street to clear the site.
Miami Beach-based Hazel Street Industrial and Faropoint of Hoboken, New Jersey, are developing the two-building, 157,680-square-foot business park.
Building 100, at 97,200 square feet, is designed for three bays, comprising two at 29,160 square feet and one at 38,800 square feet.
Building 200, at 60,480 square feet, comprises four bays of 15,120 square feet each.
Commercial real estate firm CBRE First Vice President Kyle Fisher and associates Kyle Murphy and Alliah Hardee represent Hazel Street and Faropoint in lease negotiations at Pritchard Park.
Spec office space is designed within each of the bays, which also have loading docks and drive-in doors with a shared truck court.
Hazel Street and Faropoint say in their marketing brochure that they expect the project to be delivered, meaning it will be ready for tenants to build-out space, in the first quarter of 2027.
The city has been reviewing two permit applications for what plans call Westlake Parcel 5 Buildings 1 and 2 at a total estimated project cost of $15.34 million.
Through Pritchard Road Owner LP, Hazel Street paid $2.3 million Jan. 21 for an undeveloped 14.95-acre site along Pritchard Road, east of Directors Road. Pritchard Park is south of a Georgia-Pacific warehouse.
Hazel Street builds, acquires and operates industrial real estate in Florida markets.
Hazel Street said in November it expected to buy Westlake Parcel 5 by late January, start construction in March 2026 and complete the project in the first quarter of 2027.
Hazel Street bought the land from Swift Transportation Co. of Arizona LLC.
Hazel Street Industrial, which rebranded from Hazel Street Capital, completed Park 295 Landing in fall 2025 in Northwest Jacksonville.
Managing Partner James Ryan said in November the larger Pritchard Park building will be targeted to manufacturers, assembly and logistics tenants. The structure will have a thicker floor slab and higher clear heights.
The smaller building will be marketed for small manufacturers, logistics and services tenants.
Westlake Industrial Park is dominated by larger buildings, including Southeast Toyota Distributors and a BJ’s Wholesale Club distribution center. The Hazel Street site is across Pritchard Road from a Georgia-Pacific warehouse.
Ryan said Hazel Street would buy the property with a partner. The deed, recorded Jan. 26, 2026, shows the address of Pritchard Road Owner LP as that of Faropoint, an industrial real estate asset manager that partnered with Hazel Street at Park 295 Landing.
