A new Jacksonville group is making sure people who live on the historic Eastside do not have to give up their homes.
More than 160 new apartment units will be part of the project to redevelop the historic Laura Street Trio buildings.
Fuqua Development’s proposed $182.2 million apartment and retail project would replace the former Florida Times-Union campus along the St. Johns River in Brooklyn.

Filling up vacant downtown office space, continuing to build population density in the city and capitalizing on the St. Johns River are all among the Downtown Investment Authority’s goals for the next few years.
