Historic Trophy Asset: Located at 51 West Forsyth Street in Jacksonville, the Laura Street Trio is the most iconic group of historic buildings in Jacksonville’s Central Business District.

CBD-D Zoning: The Laura Street Trio is zoned CBD-D, a designation that regulates land use and development within central business districts. This zoning allows for high-density, mixed-use development, greater building heights and floor area ratios, reduced parking requirements, pedestrian-friendly design, and considerations for historic preservation.
Adaptive Reuse in a Booming Downtown Core: New ownership has the rare opportunity to redevelop the historic, 1.01-acre site into a transformative mixed-use destination in the heart of Jacksonville’s central core business district. The proposed project includes a 143-room hotel, 169-unit multifamily component (30% of units at 80% AMI), and ground-floor retail/dining.

Material Public Incentives Enhance Feasibility: The project’s financial viability is supported by the anticipated availability of local grants and Federal Historic Tax Credits. New ownership will be responsible for confirming all incentive allocations and compliance requirements as part of their due diligence.

Catalytic Position within Jacksonville’s Revitalization Plans: Recognized in the city’s official CRA plan as the most critical historic redevelopment opportunity, the project aligns with Jacksonville’s multi-billion-dollar downtown revitalization strategy, including major infrastructure investments and the Riverfront Mixed-Use Redevelopment.
