Barring issues or delays, there could be a Mad Hatter Day celebration Oct. 6 in a new restaurant at the historic Seminole Building Downtown. It would be an event by new tenant 10/Six Grille, which hopes to open Oct. 1 in the restaurant space at the Sweet Pete’s building at 400 N. Hogan St. “My theme is derived from Lewis Carroll’s work,” said restaurateur Russ Disparti, referring to the author of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”
and “Through the Looking-Glass.” The Mad Hatter character’s hat carried a 10/6 label, meaning 10 shillings and a sixpence for the cost of one. The price mark became the date and month to celebrate Mad Hatter Day. The Jacksonville-based Sweet Pete’s candy store uses most of the building. The 10/Six Grille intends to lease the restaurant space on part of the first floor. SEE MATHIS, PAGE 2
Senior Vice President Dan Tatsch said Thursday that Hillwood, master developer of Cecil Commerce Center, has no current plan to start construction on a proposed 450,000-square-foot building at the Westside business park. Dallas-based Hillwood is circulating a site plan for the project in its AllianceFlorida at Cecil Commerce Center “to make sure that brokers and potential users are aware of what we can build,” he said. Tatsch said the building is “under consideration only.” CBRE Inc. is the sales and leasing agent for the project. A marketing brochure circulated Wednesday shows the proposed Building A-2 in the 13000 block of 103rd Street, near the Amazon.com and Wayfair fulfillment centers. It backs up to the General Electric Oil & Gas valve manufacturing plant. The proposed building is configured as a cross-dock, a logistics design for efficiency in loading and unloading. It will include parking for 400 cars and two truck courts with space for 140 trailers. In May, Tatsch said construction of the building will depend on how quickly other warehouses lease up around Northeast Florida. Terry Quarterman, first vice president with CBRE’s Industrial Specialty Group, and CBRE associate Ben Stewart are marketing the structure. The city owns Cecil Commerce Center and contracted with Hillwood to develop it.
