Jacksonville event venue Rhythm Factory is packing up its Regency Square address and heading for a Baymeadows storefront at 8206 Philips Highway, Unit 22. The move shifts the weddings and private-parties operation out of its space at 9501 Arlington Expressway and into a busy Southside retail center, where venue leaders say the new build out will feature custom details and expanded amenities for weddings, community events and private dinners.
Plan filings and local reporting
As reported by What Now, plan review documents submitted by I Love Music Tour Inc. place Rhythm Factory at Unit 22 of 8206 Philips Highway. The outlet says it confirmed the move and the closing of the current Regency Square location with Rhythm Factory representatives, although additional details were not immediately available.
Venue lists Baymeadows address on its site
On its contact page, Rhythm Factory lists the Baymeadows suite and a local phone number, and the organization is using the site to describe the new space. The venue invites inquiries and says, “Imagine walking into a space that exceeds your every expectation,” language that signals an upgraded, event-focused build out.
Why it's leaving Regency Square
Rhythm Factory currently lists 9501 Arlington Expy #329 as its home on local tourism listings. The interior of Regency Square closed in mid-2025 after the property was sold for redevelopment as The Nexus at Regency, and new owners have pursued plans to reimagine the site. Visit Jacksonville carries the venue's Regency Square listing, and The Jacksonville Daily Record reported on the sale and interior closure tied to the redevelopment.
Baymeadows center and neighbors
Baymeadows Junction at 8206 Philips Highway is a sizable retail complex with a mix of restaurants and entertainment operators, and property listings show multiple available suites and recent tenant build outs. That mix, which local reporting and leasing materials identify as including food and entertainment concepts, makes the location attractive for an event-venue operator looking to reach a broader Southside audience. CommercialCafe lists the center's property details, and local reporting notes entertainment tenants nearby.
What to expect next
The venue has not announced an official opening date for the Baymeadows site, and its contact page encourages prospective clients to reach out for booking information. Rhythm Factory's website currently displays the Baymeadows address and contact details for inquiries, and representatives have not yet released a public timeline for the move.
