The project is residential and mixed use with the entire 8.12 acre waterfront as public space. The design stage is on the public land use side coupled with the private development and public access from Bay Street and McCoy’s Creek. The riverwalk provides public access to the site, connecting pocket parks that will include artwork, water features and landscape that will recall Jacksonville's heritage. The marquee public feature is the Shipyards pier. The pier is a place for the citizens and visitors of Jacksonville to honor the regions past and celebrate our future.Extending 680 feet in the St. Johns River, the existing industrial pier is inherently an asset and place that will be a focal point for the City.
