UF Campus & Riverfront Tower Approved | Jacksonville News

The city’s review board just approved groundbreaking plans for downtown’s biggest revitalization yet: UF’s first new graduate campus building, a 17-story hotel-apartment tower at Riverfront Plaza, and more. With a $345M investment, the projects aim to breathe life into LaVilla and the riverfront — blending modern innovation with historic preservation, including a semiconductor institute and repurposed train station elements. Community leaders are pushing for neighborhood respect amid height and placement debates, while developers plan park-connected dining and green spaces. Final approvals still pending, but this is the start of a major urban transformation. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
