Jacksonville Beach Planning Commission Approves new Hotel For Beach and 3rd Street

Property has remained vacant for years.
A new hotel has been given initial approval for the vacant property at the corner of Third Street and Beach Boulevard in Jacksonville Beach which has been an empty lot for more than 10 years.
The Jacksonville Beach Planning Commission approved an amendment to the Redevelopment District zoning for the project, which will be a three-story, 80 room, 10,000-square-foot Element hotel. The hotel would also have limited food service and other guest amenities. Parking would be on the ground level in both covered and uncovered spaces.
Construction on the hotel is expected to begin in November of this year, with completion anticipated in the summer of 2020.
