Duval Schools HQ Sale Hits Debt Roadblock

Duval Schools is back in the real estate spotlight, eyeing a fresh wave of bids for its Prudential Drive HQ — with offers ranging from $15.5M to a wild $20M+ — but the parking lot’s hidden $6–8M debt is making every deal a minefield. After rejecting a slow-pay offer from Fleet Landing and losing a $17.2M deal to Chase due to undisclosed debt, the board now faces three new contenders: flexible Bainbridge, local Ashco, and a shady entrepreneur demanding payment before handing over the keys. With no clear favorite and a relocation decision looming, the district’s next move could hinge on who’s willing to shoulder the debt — and who’s willing to play by the rules.
