Cadenza Partners LLC has submitted plans for Harbor Lights Jacksonville, located on Beach Boulevard just west of the Intracoastal Waterway. The development is currently in the permitting phase, with initial development expected to begin sometime in 2022.
Harbor Lights Jacksonville is a planned mixed-use community on the site of a former marina, combining upscale waterfront residential living with retail and commercial space. Harbor Lights Jacksonville, adjacent to the Palm Cove Marina, will also be the home of a relocated Marker 32,  which has offered waterfront fine dining in Jacksonville since 1992. Marker 32 has been a long-time tenant in an older building on the site. Marker 32 will be relocated within Harbor Lights Jacksonville, and its new building – which will be modern and functional with water views – is planned as the initial phase of development.
“We are designing Harbor Lights Jacksonville to provide an outstanding quality of life for residents and to continue serving as one of the premier waterfront dining destinations in the city,” said Cadenza Partners Principal Nick Sartori. “We envision a residential lifestyle that thoughtfully blends into convenient dining, shopping and entertainment options, and we are very pleased to be partnering with Marker 32 to provide a new upgraded restaurant space.”
Harbor Lights Jacksonville will include up to 215 residential units, with approximately 21,000 square feet of commercial space and 115 boat slips. Amenities include a boardwalk, pool and spa, fitness center, and event lawn.
The development team includes ELM as land planner and architect and Sodl and Ingram as land use attorney.
Parking will be provided for both residential and commercial use through multi-level parking designed in an integrated, wrap-around style, as well as through surface parking. There will be planned easy access to Beach Boulevard, as well as an improved internal connection to the adjacent Palm Cove Marina. The Palm Cove Marina, which is adjacent to the planned development, is not part of Harbor Lights Jacksonville. There are currently 11 existing retail establishments there, including a golf store, exotic car dealership and marine retailers, along with dry boat storage and wet slips. The marina and existing retail will remain in place and will not be affected.
