Trevato bought the property in 2024 for $ 20 million from American Heritage Life Insurance Co., a subsidiary of All State in Northbrook, Illinois.
Trevato announced the deal on May 31, 2024, on the same day when the property bought it. It said that the property included three buildings with a total of 235,484 square foot.
Real estate records from Duval County show that two of the buildings – eight floors and two floors – were developed in 1994 and the third – five floors – in 2001.
Trevato said the new headquarters of the star energy would anchor the eight -story building.
In a series of proposed renovation plans, Trevato said that the eight -story and five -story office buildings with a total of 192,836 quadrat foot will remain, while the two -story building is removed over the parking lot.
Apartments planned
Trevato has changed its initial proposed renovation, which required the addition of retail space, town houses and condominiums in the parking lot of the site.
On December 17th, seven days after the Jacksonville city council rejected the Trevato plan, the developer submitted plans for an apartment to Florida's Live Local Act.
The plans for the Pondry Apartments show access via the San Pablo Road South. The two office buildings at the location would remain. A parking deck is shown between the residential buildings.
It received the administrative permit from the city of Jacksonville to renovate them with apartment buildings, which include affordable units.
The Council had chosen 17-2 to refuse a transfer application to reorganize the office park into residential, office and retail areas.
This coordination came among the neighbors of property, in which the development dealt to create a strong traffic jam and that the density of his living component was not compatible with its surroundings, among other things.
Many of the opponents are homeowners of the Pablo Creek Reserve Gated Community next to the Pondry.
