Phoenix Arts District | Adaptive Reuse Opportunity for Lease Listing Details & Market Data

Located in close proximity to Jacksonville’s Urban Core, the location falls within an opportunity zone in the Springfield Warehouse District that is just a few blocks from Main Street — the neighborhood retail corridor. 2320 and 2336 Liberty Street are perfectly separated by the future Emerald Trail — a 30-mile bicycle/pedestrian recreational trail connecting 14 historic neighborhoods and downtown to local and regional trails, parks, schools, businesses, transit and other destinations providing unparalleled accessibility, connectivity and a unique sense of place.

The Phoenix Arts District (PHX) is the brainchild founded by one of Jacksonville’s well-known creative leaders and visionaries — Christy Frazier, an entrepreneur and creative developer. PHX was established to create an immersive experience that promotes mastery of the traditional and contemporary arts with the intention of creating a mixed-use environment through collaboration, preservation, accessibility and artistic excellence.

On the horizon is significant adaptive reuse potential, full of dynamic possibilities to create a multi-purpose district that has proven to be successful in many other cities. The PHX comprises around 100,000 SF spanning over 5 acres. Following Fraizer’s vision, Tony Cho, Founder of Metro 1 and Future of Cities based in Miami, saw PHX potential. Metro 1 was one of the first-in companies transforming the iconic arts district of Wynwood along with contributing to growth and revitalization in other hot spots in South Florida. Future of Cities made its first investment outside of South Florida after purchasing multiple parcels totaling about 1.6 acres that adjoin the walls of the remaining PHX properties (along with assembling others nearby) to eventually develop multi-family residential and commercial and entertainment uses together with complimentary amenities and infrastructure to meet today’s market demands in urban real estate design and investment. The existing properties offer unique building architecture of its time.
