A $51.8 million warehouse building is approved for construction at the planned Imeson Park South on Zoo Parkway in Jacksonville.

A new expansive distribution warehouse is headed for Jacksonville’s Northside where industrial development continues to boom.

The warehouse owned by VTRE Development LLC will cover about 1 million square feet at 1511 Zoo Parkway, Unit 300. It will be part of the Imeson Park South industrial development, just a short distance from Imeson Park Boulevard where multiple industrial development warehouses and buildings have been erected in recent years.

The latest warehouse will be constructed of structural steel and cost $51.8 million to erect. The permits for the project were approved this month by the city's Building Inspections Division.

Evens General Contractors will handle the work.

Meanwhile another industrial building will be going up a short distance from the warehouse.

A new industrial building with office, manufacturing and storage space is set to be built at 11865 Industry Drive not far from the Interstate 295 and Interstate 95 interchange, according to permits approved by Jacksonville inspectors.

The building will cover 39,800 square feet and cost about $8 million to erect for Control Southern. Ladson Construction Co. is the contractor.

The city, the largest by landmass in the country, has become a mecca for major warehouse accommodations, notably with the presence of JaxPort and distribution centers such as Amazon and Wayfair.

Coggin Chevrolet at the Avenues is going to add a 44,601-square-foot addition to its location on Philips Highway in Jacksonville, according to city building permits.

The new two-story building will cost about $8.4 million to erect at 10880 Philips and include some additional renovations. The addition will allow for more service station work and repair services.
