HCA Healthcare, parent company of Memorial Hospital, purchased 55.28 acres for $15.8 million west of the Wildlight community in Nassau County. The five contiguous parcels are at northeast Interstate 95 and Florida A1A. HCA Healthcare bought the land from Nassau Property LLC in July. Memorial Hospital spokeswoman Odette Struys said she didn’t have information about what is planned for the property. “It will allow Talbert us to establish a future presence in Nassau County and to align with the planned growth in the region,” said Bradley Talbert, CEO of Memorial Hospital, in a statement. “We have served many Nassau County residents for 50 years and look forward to being a part of the Nassau County community in the near future.” In May, Baptist Health bought 25.96 acres at Florida A1A and Harper Chapel Road, less than a half a mile from the Memorial property. Baptist plans to build a 50,000-square-foot medical office building. JEA issued a service availability letter for the project in June. Less than a half a mile from SEE MEMORIAL, PAGE 2

The DIA board will vote Wednesday on terms for the property along Bay Street that give developers specific requirements for ground-level retail. BY MIKE MENDENHALL STAFF WRITER
Proposed terms for developing the former Duval County Courthouse and City Hall properties released Thursday by the Downtown Investment Authority give detailed requirements on the amount of retail space expected at the site. The DIA board will consider a resolution Wednesday to approve the scope of a request for proposals to develop the vacant 8.38-acre green space at 220, 330 E. Bay St. and adjacent land submerged under the St. Johns River — now collectively named The Ford on Bay. The terms state that bids to develop one, a combination of two or all three of
The Ford on Bay parcels will be accepted. However, the DIA will not accept a proposal to develop only the submerged parcel. If approved by the DIA board, the authority will issue the request for proposals Oct. 21 and award the project by Feb. 20, 2020. Marketing material created by CBRE Jacksonville for the DIA to lure developers to the project also was released Thursday. It provides a breakdown of each parcel — the former City Hall site at 2.39 acres; the former courthouse parcel at 5.99 acres; and submerged land on the St. Johns River at 3.1 acres. SEE DIA, PAGE 2
