Shipyards, Jacksonville’s only urban master-planned community
Shipyards has been hailed as “Jacksonville’s only urban master-planned community” and “one of the largest mixed-use riverfront developments in Florida”. As of November 2006, the sales center has been open for business.
The Shipyards community is located in the heart of Jacksonville’s sports & entertainment district on the Northbank of the St Johns River. Much has been said about the stunning views from up high in the condo towers such as Building One which is a 38-story glass tower in the middle of the Shipyards community. Shipyards will also be a busy hub for shops, offices and entertainment (Shipyards is a short walk from the Alltel Stadium, the Baseball Grounds and the Metropolitan Park).
Residents in the area will benefit from being close to a busy area of employment, avid book readers will enjoy being close to the Jacksonville Public Library and those fond of culture will love the fact that Shipyards is close to places such as art galleries, museums and theaters.
A river taxi service is even planned to connect Shipyards residents to both the Northbank and the Southbank Riverwalks. The planned marina will have space for 240 boats.
The first 38-story condo tower will have residences with a minimum of one bedroom going up to three bedrooms and prices start at the low-$300,000’s and reach as high as much as $1 million. A one-bedroom residence can be as small as 804 square-feet while a three-bedroom residence can be as much as 3,902 square-feet. So there will be something for everyone in every possible price range.
