Jason Faulkner, AIA, Partner / Principal

 

Jason is the complete architect, through visionary ideas, leadership and the knowledge of implementation. As principal and founder of Studio9, he has been a rising influence in Jacksonville’s landscape. Jason’s initiative to assemble the City of Jacksonville, State DOT and private development in a partnership to improve the Brooklyn area of downtown Jacksonville has spawned the first significant mixed use development in Jacksonville in many years. The Brooklyn District has fast become a development focus and major gateway into the City that has spread beyond its boundaries. From major infrastructure and street improvements, the creation of Unity Plaza/Amphitheater and the 220 Riverside Mixed Use Development, Jason has cohesively led each aspect as the best example of downtown development. Jason now serves on the board of directors for Unity Plaza.
