P
ark Street in the Brooklyn area of Downtown could be on the verge of a transformation that would turn vacant parcels and dated buildings into a center of multifamily and commercial uses. The primary developer appears to be Jacksonville Beach-based Trevato Development Group, which is affiliated with several large mixed-use and residential projects in Duval County. Trevato Development’s website, trevatogroup.com,
features renderings of large multifamily and retail developments called Block Five and Block Nine, which coincide with the names of two of the limited liability companies that have been buying land in the Park Street area. Also, Downtown Investment Authority emails about the Park Street Road Diet project allude to a larger development in that area. Trevato Development said through a spokesperson that it is preliminary to confirm any details, but provided a statement from its attorney. SEE BROOKLYN, PAGE 14
