Bulldozers and blueprints are lining up on Jacksonville’s Northside as Sulzbacher moves into the $46 million second phase of its Enterprise Village campus. The buildout will shift many of the nonprofit’s downtown services onto roughly 17 acres and grow on-site job training, medical care and emergency housing for people experiencing homelessness. Construction of Phase 1, a 100-unit workforce housing building, began in November 2025, and crews remain on site while planners pivot to the next stage.
According to the Jacksonville Business Journal, Phase 2 carries a $46 million budget and will pay for a health center, administrative offices, emergency housing and a training facility. The outlet reports that work is moving ahead now that Phase 1 is under way, marking the nonprofit’s largest construction push so far.
Site, Partners And Timeline
The Enterprise Village site sits at 4785 Walgreen Road, a roughly 16.8 to 17 acre parcel west of I-95 near the Brentwood Golf Course, as reported by the Jax Daily Record. Vestcor is listed as a co-developer on the project and shows the site and an estimated 2026 completion date for Phase 1 on its project page.
What Phase Two Will Include
Phase 2 is designed to pull Sulzbacher’s comprehensive wraparound services together on the new campus, including its Federally Qualified Health Center and a Mayo Clinic learners collaboration, and to house a Goodwill/FSCJ job training center, according to Jacksonville Today. Plans call for a training building of roughly 16,000 square feet that will offer trade certifications meant to move residents into paid work, which the nonprofit says could eventually support on-site manufacturing jobs.
Funding And City Backing
City and agency documents show the campus is drawing on a mix of public support. JHFA board minutes record a $1.5 million gap-financing commitment for Sulzbacher, and public budget files tie American Rescue Plan Act funds to the land purchase. Federal grant documents also list Congressionally Directed Spending requests connected to the project’s health components, per federal records, underscoring a patchwork of local, state and federal backing for Phase 2.
Contractors And Next Steps
Summit Contracting Group appears on city permits as the general contractor for the Phase 1 housing building, with Vestcor serving as co-developer. Sulzbacher officials say Phase 2 work will follow the site and utility work already in progress, with the health and training buildings scheduled to advance after the housing structure is completed.
Sulzbacher says the new campus will let the organization move most of its downtown services to the Northside while expanding training and health access for both residents and neighbors. The nonprofit plans to post hiring notices and construction updates on Sulzbacher as the project continues.
