The city issued a permit Thursday for The Haskell Co. to build the four-story St. Vincent’s heart and vascular pavilion in Riverside.
KAREN BRUNE MATHIS EDITOR
The four-story Riverside center is projected to open in fall 2019.
St. Vincent’s HealthCare landed a permit to build a four-story riverfront heart and vascular pavilion at its Riverside campus at 1 Shircliff Way. The Haskell Co. is the contractor for the $32.8 million construction project, comprising 54,300 square feet of enclosed space and 25,201 square feet of unenclosed space. The projected opening is fall 2019. St. Vincent’s is along the riverfront at Riverside Avenue and King Street. When St. Vincent’s announced the pavilion a year ago, it said the $55 million project will comprise 30 medical and surgical rooms and 30 intensive care rooms. It primarily will be used for heart and vascular needs, including two nursing units for patients who undergo openheart surgeries and other cardiovascular
procedures. St. Vincent’s, part of the Ascension health system, is building the pavilion at the former site of Seton Hall, which was demolished in 2016. Haskell was approved in August for the $1.85 million foundation work. Gresham Smith and Partners is the architect and Goodson Nevin and Associates is the consulting engineer. The unenclosed area comprises space on the first and fourth floors. A St. Vincent’s spokesman said in August the first floor will be elevated to protect the building in case of flooding and the fourth floor is a mechanical room. The first floor will provide parking.

A Jacksonville developer proposes to build an additional 786 single-family lots on about 400 acres in Panther Creek, a West Jacksonville subdivision now with 270 single-family homes. The plans are outlined in a rezoning request filed Nov. 7 with the city. The project developer is Panther Creek Preserve LLC, managed by Chris Funk, the CEO and president of SunCoast Property Management and Southeast Premier Properties. Both groups are based in JackFunk sonville. The request asks to rezone the 400 acres from a planned unit development with several land use designations to a planned unit development with low density residential land use to allow for the development of 786 lots. Plans show 670 50-foot-wide lots and 116 70-foot-wide lots, with 11 acres of active recreation areas and 228 acres of open space. The property is south of Interstate 10, north of POW-MIA Memorial Parkway, west of Chaffee Road and east of Halsema Road. The developer is represented by agent Wyman Duggan, a land use attorney and shareholder with Rogers Towers. He recently was elected to represent District 15 in SEE HOMES, PAGE 2
