“Our vision is to create a special place that both locals are proud of and that visitors are impressed by,” Shahab Derazi, president of J&H Advisors, Inc., the Jacksonville Beach-based group representing the project owner said.

The developers have said that they have taken a thoughtful approach to ensure the new addition complements the beaches community and preserves the unique character of the traditional seaside neighborhoods.

“This isn’t going to be just another building at the beach,” Derazi said.

Planned opening for the new development project is expected to take place in Fall of 2024.
