Florida State College at Jacksonville’s first student-residents will begin moving into their new suites this week. After the renovation of the historic Lerner Building at 20 W. Adams St., the college is offering housing near the Downtown Campus for up to 58 students. Three- and four-bedroom suites are $3,375 or $3,600 per term for the fall and spring term; $2,250 or $2,400 for the summer term per resident. The suites have two ADA-compliant bathrooms (one private,
one shared) and furnished living and kitchen areas. The residences are on the second through sixth floors of the building. The college’s 20West Cafe, a classroom for the culinary arts and hospitality program that’s open for breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, is on the ground floor. Nineteen students already have reserved rooms for the fall term, said FSCJ Director of Marketing and Communications Jill Johnson. MMARBUT@ JAXDAILYRECORD.COM (904) 356-2466

VanTrust Real Estate LLC is preparing to build the first Park Place office building toward its eventual 675,000-squarefoot, 60-acre business park in Nocatee. VanTrust estimates an investment of more than $30 million in the first building. The city issued a conditional capacity availability statement for the building on 10.51 acres along Nocatee Parkway. John Carey, Carey executive vice president of VanTrust Real Estate, said the first four-story, 125,000-square-foot building, called Park Place One, is in design and construction should start in the first quarter. The capacity statement means the development reserves capacities for its impact on public facilities such as schools, recreation, transportation and others. SEE MATHIS, PAGE 2
