Big things are happening — Gateway Jax has officially broken ground on the second building of Pearl Square, part of a bold nine-block vision to reshape the urban core, starting on Beaver Street.

This latest phase will bring nearly 300 residential units, on-site parking and 20,000 square feet of retail space. The full plan includes more than 1,250 residences, a boutique hotel, a curbless festival street, outdoor dining, parks, a grocery store, a pharmacy and more.

Congratulations to the @cityofjax, @gateway_jax, @jwbrealestatecapital, @dlpcapital and all who are involved in this phenomenal project. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for #DTJax and Pearl Square! ...
