SHIPYARDS is the brainchild of LandMar Group LLC. The president of LandMar Group, Ed Burr, had a vision of the first urban master-planned community that will inspire a vibrant community because of its amenities and activities. This Jacksonville Fl waterfront downtown community will transform the skyline of Jacksonville as well as create a one-of-a-kind waterfront venue. Located on the St Johns River in Downtown Jacksonville Florida, Shipyards will transform over 40 acres of Jacksonville riverfront and create a great master-community like no other. This challenge brought together a team of designers, architects and planners to capitalize on Shipyard’s waterfront location. Arquitectonica, the world-renowned team, designed Shipyards incorporating upscale shopping, dining, recreation, entertainment and breathtaking residences. Think of Sydney Australia and a vision of the Sydney Opera House forms; think of Jacksonville Florida and the Shipyards’ Pier Park and 800 Bay Street will be invoked.

Shipyards will integrate a variety of residential, retail and commercial properties into this community that will enhance the excitement of Jacksonville’s sports and entertainment district by offering luxury amenities that capitalize on the waterfront location. Shipyards will create Jacksonville’s first vertical master-planned community.

They are incorporating into this urban design most of the components of New Urbanism. Each building will be its own high-rise village. These villages will come together to form one astonishing neighborhood.

The first tower is located at 800 Bay Street East. This stunning translucent architecture and glass is a 38-story tower. Shipyards 800 Bay Street tower is creating a stunning new look to Jacksonville’s skyline. The expansive podium is the base of a unique V-shaped building and features an impressive lobby with six levels of resort-style luxuries and comforts. A variety of impressive Jacksonville condo residencies rises above this.  Every condo resident at Shipyards will have an exceptional view of Jacksonville’s dynamic skyline.

Shipyards is offering one-two-and three bedroom condo residences.  Arquitectonica is renowned for creating livable environments that use the best cutting-edge, urban home designs to incorporate unique space-saving techniques into their floor designs.  Their one-bedroom condo homes are approximately 833 square feet. Upon entering the home, you will be drawn to the spectacular floor-to-ceiling wall of glass overlooking the St Johns River. This is a breathtaking view that also serves to extend your living space and creates an open feel. This concept brings a new meaning to the phrase “open floor plan.”  The creative use of space in the Jacksonville downthom condo home, the spectacular appointed finishes and the contemporary architecture are impressive. The gourmet kitchens feature quartz countertops, glass backsplashes, and modern cabinetry. The living and dining room are separated from the master suite by a sliding door. This affords the Jax condo homeowner great viewing opportunities of the St Johns River and allows for the expanding and contracting of living area. The spacious balcony extends the length of the living room and bedroom.  

The New Urbanism is incorporated in the first six levels of 800 Bay Street. On the ground level are boutiques shops, retail services and cafes fronting beautifully landscaped boulevards. The 20-foot ceiling grand lobby provides views of the river and access from the river esplanade. Private elevators designated to serve only the fitness floors will whisk visitors and residents to the third level where a 14,000 square foot fitness center is planned. It will offer personal training and other wellness opportunities with the latest exercise and physical fitness equipment. This will encompass two stories and will provide locker rooms for men and women, spa, indoor and outdoor experiences and a yoga and relaxation terrace.

The heart of the Shipyards’ club facilities is located on the fifth level where you will find a sports lounge with pool tables, and a social room for private dinner parties and card tournaments. The media and theater room will feature state of the art equipment. The outside pool and deck will cover more than 12,000 square feet. You can soak in the hot tub, relax in the pool, or sunbathe on the deck.

The sixth level offers 45,000 square feet of flexible green space. The sports amenity deck offers a putting green, an event stage, lap pool with shade cabanas, and tennis courts. All of this added to panoramic  views of the St Johns River and Downtown Jacksonville.

The piece de resistance of Shipyards is Pier Park and the wide meandering pathways that will be flanked by lush shade trees that extend from the Shipyards grand lobby and lead through the river esplanade to Pier Park. The Pier Park will be a public space that will extend the riverwalk nearly 700 feet into the St Johns River. A 100-foot tall sculpture is planned as a tribute to the nautical history of the Shipyards site. A full service 200 slip marina is also planned that offers residents private docking and can accommodate vessels up to 100 feet. This will also provide access to Shipyards for private boaters.

Location is a primary attraction of Shipyards. It is located on 40 acres of downtown Jacksonville riverfront property. You are a short walk from Veterans Memorial Arena, Metropolitan Park, and Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. You are a few minutes from Downtown employment centers, Jacksonville Public Library, art galleries, shopping, performing art venues, dining, and museums. The River Taxi Service will provide easy access to downtown Jacksonville establishments.
