Developer’s multiuse project includes homes, a community park, retail and office space inspired by the region’s history. BY JAY SCHLICHTER ASSOCIATE EDITOR
A Jacksonville developer plans to transform 198 acres in Nassau County into a multiuse project that eventually could include 800 residential units, a community park, retail space and offices developed with a “vintage Florida railroad” theme. The project, called Nassau Crossing, is planned in multiple phases on vacant
land in Yulee, east of Harts Road, south of Florida A1A and on the north and south sides of William Burgess Boulevard. The developer, Greg Matovina Matovina of Patriot Ridge LLP, has been working with the Nassau County Department of Planning and Economic Opportunity. The project is part of a larger plan called the William Burgess Overlay District adopted by the county in December 2017. The Nassau Crossing planned unit development plans call for the 800 residential units to be divided among 350 single-family homes and 450 multifam-
ily units. The PUD documents say 67 percent of the multifamily units must be affordable or workforce housing. In addition to the residential units, the north side of William Burgess Boulevard will include 150,000 square feet of retail space and 150,000 square feet of offices. The south side of the street shows the community park, soccer fields, walking trails, fitness stations, a tot lot, a gazebo, a pond, picnic benches and more. Matovina said the project’s first phase will include 230 single-family homes to be built by D.R. Horton. It also will include 120 townhomes, but no builder has been contracted. SEE RAILROAD, PAGE 2
