Roger Bull's Sunday Notebook: Arc Jacksonville to build housing complex

Well, I guess this is what I get for going on vacation for a week. Theres all kinds of new stuff happening:

THE ARC

The Arc Jacksonville is building a 97-unit apartment complex on 32 acres off Hodges Boulevard, just south of Beach Boulevard. Theyll be homes for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, said Judy Lanier, director of development. But its a new program, she said. The residents will live there, but then head elsewhere for jobs, programs, etc.

The community is designed to make them as independent as possible, she said.

The one- and two-bedroom units will be set up as duplexes and triplexes in 38 villas. Total cost is $21.7 million. Completion is expected fall 2015. Summit Contracting is building it.

LAKEVIEW

Lakeview Health, a private alcohol and drug rehab center, is undergoing a major expansion of its campus at 1900 Corporate Square Blvd., off Southside and Beach boulevards. Permits were issued for three new buildings: administration building, $5.5 million, 7,250 square feet; fitness center, $2,770,000, 10,300 square feet; conference center, $870,000, 3,250 square feet.

Haskell has the contract; completion is expected next year.

TRANSPORTATION

The building permit has been issued for the Northeast Florida Regional Transportation Management Center at 980 N. Jefferson St., just north of State Street. The 20,535-square-foot building will house both the Florida Department of Transportation and the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization. Charles Perry Partners has the $9.07 million project.
