Atlanta-based Dewberry Group is converting the Westside shopping center into Ortega Park.
Details of Roosevelt Square’s conversion into Ortega Park are becoming clearer. The West Jacksonville shopping center operates on almost 29 acres at 4495 Roosevelt Blvd. The location is east along Roosevelt Boulevard between San Juan and Wabash avenues. Developer and owner Dewberry Group already demolished the former Belk store and cleared that site and renovated and expanded the building anchored by Stein Mart to include Ulta Beauty and other stores. In the next step, Atlantabased Dewberry Group wants to demolish and rebuild parts of the center. Construction plans filed with the St. Johns River Water Management District show how. n The center is 311,220 square feet. n Dewberry will demolish 100,536 square feet. That includes the set of inline stores attached to the south of the Publix supermarket. n It will build 93,275 square SEE MATHIS, PAGE 2
I don’t want to close up but in order for me to open somewhere else — not just from the build-out but having to get my name out there, having to get advertising — it’s so much money. We’ve already been suffering.” MICHELLE RHOADES, HANA & HER SISTER

Tenants have 30 days to leave the shopping center planned for demolition. BY MIKE MENDENHALL STAFF WRITER
Hours after the city took control of The Jacksonville Landing on Wednesday, tenants of the struggling 1980s era landmark were given 30-day notices to vacate, fast-tracking Mayor Lenny Curry’s plan to demolish and redevelop the property. Tenants not receiving notices Wednesday were those not present
or who are negotiating with City Hall, said Nikki Kimbleton, city director of public affairs. The city set aside $1.5 million for tenant relocation assistance. City representatives delivered estoppel letters to tenants March 28 with former Landing owner Jacksonville Landing Investments LLC, “asking them to agree to the terms of the lease as JLI knew them,” Kimbleton said. Those city representatives met with each tenant present on the property March 28 and the remainder were informed of the letter by JLI. SEE LANDING, PAGE 3
