An update on the largest infill new construction project to take place in the Downtown Northbank in more than a decade.
Ryan Companies US Inc., a national developer, builder, designer, and property manager offering full-service commercial real estate solutions, announced today the topping out of construction at the new JEA Headquarters in Downtown Jacksonville. Work crews laid the final steel beam at the top of the 125-foot-tall tower, which will feature large windows and open floor plans geared toward collaborative meeting space for one of the nation’s largest community-owned electric utility companies.
The seven-story, 153,000-square-foot build-to-suit project is projected to revitalize the central business district, with a completion date of 2022. The building’s design team weaved in aspects of the surrounding area’s bridges and rich industrial history, while providing access to Jacksonville’s major roadways and public transportation.
“Despite the challenging year, Ryan Companies and JEA have displayed exceptional planning, teamwork, and creativity to reach the height of development on this Downtown Jacksonville office project,” said Scott Stenman, Vice President of Construction at Ryan Companies. “Our team has faced different obstacles throughout 2020 as the pandemic has changed the way we safely construct buildings as well as how society views traditional office space. I am proud of our progress and our ability to reach this milestone on time. The JEA Headquarters is a sign of revitalization, and economic growth in Downtown Jacksonville and Ryan is thrilled to be part of the team bringing the project to fruition.”
