A fresh $12.6 million building permit is clearing the way for a new Class A warehouse on Jacksonville's Northside, adding roughly 199,000 square feet of industrial space to the Alta Lakes II park. The building is slated for 11096 Cabot Commerce Circle, an industrial pocket just east of I-295 that has been racking up logistics investment in recent years.
Permits and who’s behind it
The newly issued permit lists a project cost of $12.6 million and names an ownership entity that already controls another Jacksonville property, according to the Jacksonville Business Journal. That report also highlighted a LoopNet rendering of the planned Class A shell and summed up the permit details tied to the Alta Lakes II site.
Project footprint and approvals
Earlier filings put the development at about 11.9 acres, with a master plan calling for a roughly 199,260-square-foot warehouse. The St. Johns River Water Management District signed off on a stormwater management permit for Alta Lakes II in December 2024, as reported by the Jax Daily Record. On the city side, a mobility-fee calculation and a service-availability letter from JEA moved through the review stack as civil plans advanced.
Listing and specs
A listing on LoopNet markets 11096 Cabot Commerce Circle as a 199,260-square-foot, four-star industrial building. The specs call for a 36-foot clear height, dozens of off-dock trailer positions and flexibility to carve the space down to 50,000 square feet for smaller users. The posting includes brokerage contacts and pegs May 1, 2027, as the availability date, which could signal the developer's target for shell delivery.
Why Northside keeps winning industrial projects
Jacksonville's Northside has turned into a logistics magnet, with major projects, including a recent DHL distribution center, fueling demand for large, rail- and port-adjacent warehouse space. Market data from Cushman & Wakefield and deal coverage from CoStar point to steady leasing velocity and ongoing institutional interest, which helps make sites like Alta Lakes II appealing to both owners and tenants.
What’s next
The city calculated a mobility fee of $87,189 to help offset the project's transportation impacts, and planning documents outline the next steps: final civil approvals, remaining permitting and an active tenant-marketing push before vertical construction kicks off. A clearer construction schedule is expected once a general contractor is selected and a tenant commits to the project.
