Description

The City of Jacksonville seeks proposals from qualified, interested private parties to develop a high-quality multi-family residential project on property currently owned by the City, as part of our Uptown Jacksonville concept. The City’s interest with this private development is: 1) create a permanent residential presence on-site to support the live, work, play concept we strive for as part of the overall master plan; 2) increase the availability of high-quality multi-family housing stock within our community, which is currently in-demand; 3) establish a residential buffer between the existing adjacent single family neighborhood and higher intensity commercial and recreational land uses that are part of the master plan; and 4) partner with a private developer to construct portions of site infrastructure required to support the entire project.

Background
In November 2021, the City purchased 400 undeveloped acres located near the intersection of Western Boulevard (NC 53) and Gum Branch Road to be used for a recreation and sports complex (Attachment A). In 2023, the City engaged a consulting team including McAdams, Sage Design, LS3P, and Victus Advisors to complete a Recreation & Sports Complex Master Plan for the 400-acre site. A site concept developed by McAdams as part of the master planning exercise is shown in Attachment B, which includes an outdoor sports complex (nine rectangular fields), an indoor sports and events center (at least eight basketball/volleyball courts, plus meeting space and other flexible event uses), mixed-use development (restaurant, retail, family entertainment, hotel, residential), an outdoor amphitheater, and other outdoor recreation amenities/trails. Detailed master planning and market study documents are available as Attachments C and D. In July 2025, the Jacksonville City Council approved a Planned Unit Development for Uptown Jacksonville, enabling the concept to now come to fruition (Attachment E).
