Avenue's Walk

If you drive on I95 you probably wonder what is that they are building up near the Avenue's Mall. I'm talking about the area just east of I95 north of 9a / 295.

It's another shopping center!

Ok, this goes outside of the area that I normally report on but I figured that a lot of people from St. Johns drive past this construction area daily (like me) and wondered what it was. Here are some details about this center...

Location
I-95 & US 1 (Phillips Hwy) Jacksonville , FL
Features
586,495 sq. ft. retail center
3,500 feet of frontage on I-95.
Across from top performing regional mall in the market (Avenues).
Mixed use project containing retail, residential, hotel, and office.
Construction of a flyover with direct access from US 1.

I think that last item is very interesting. I'm very concerned with the amount of traffic that can build up in this area normally. But think about the congestion during the holiday's. Next Christmas could be very interesting.

It sounds like it will be another center like St. Johns Town Center. An outdoor shopping experience. It has plans for 400 hotel rooms, over 1000 housing units, and 600,000 sq ft of retail.
