A long-awaited vision for Jacksonville’s riverfront is finally taking shape, as Chase Properties prepares to turn the Duval County School Board’s former headquarters into a luxury, mixed-use destination.

The Duval County School Board passed a new $17.2 million offer for its riverfront headquarters, following last month’s failed negotiations with Fleet Landing.

Duval County Schools is once again considering a move away from its headquarters on the St. Johns River after a potential buyer withdrew from the deal as the school district now has a new front-runner interested in purchasing the Southbank property.
