Downtown Jacksonville businesses are excited as developers behind the Pearl Square project announce a six-story, 100,000-square-foot office building that will anchor the $750 million mixed-use neighborhood under construction. This is the first new multi-tenant office tower planned for Jacksonville’s North Core in over 20 years. The announcement has been welcomed by longtime business owners, including Marvin Hearman, whose family-run restaurant, Starving Like Marvin. The office building is designed by Morris Adjmi Architects and BDG Architects with a ground-floor retail level spanning roughly 25,000 square feet. Construction is set to begin in 2027 and completion is expected in 2028.
