Major 18.48-Acre Redevelopment Site Hits the Market Along Arlington Expressway
Jacksonville, FL — One of the largest and most strategically positioned redevelopment sites in the Arlington area has officially come to market, offering developers a rare opportunity to reshape a nearly full city block along one of Jacksonville’s most heavily traveled corridors.
The 18.48-acre property, located directly off the Arlington Expressway in Jacksonville, is listed for $13.77 million, or approximately $745,000 per acre, and is being marketed exclusively by The Keyes Company. The site consists of two adjacent parcels—14.27 acres and 4.21 acres—that together form almost an entire square block, a scarcity in today’s infill-constrained market.
With frontage on the Arlington Expressway and existing pylon signage, the property benefits from exceptional visibility to more than 55,000 vehicles per day, positioning it as a prime candidate for large-scale commercial, mixed-use, or residential redevelopment. The land is currently vacant, though it previously supported 11 buildings, meaning much of the heavy lifting has already been completed for a future developer.
Zoned Commercial Community / General-2 (CCG-2), the site allows for structures up to 60 feet in height—approximately five stories—with no maximum lot coverage, subject to standard development requirements such as landscaping and pedestrian infrastructure. The zoning flexibility opens the door to a wide range of uses, including hotels, retail centers, medical facilities, offices, entertainment venues, and destination commercial projects.
Residential developers are also eyeing the property’s long-term potential. According to the City of Jacksonville, the land can be rezoned to support large-scale townhome or multifamily development, with entitlement timelines estimated at five to six months. Conceptually, the site could accommodate hundreds and hundreds of residential units, aligning with the city’s growing demand for housing near employment centers and major transportation corridors.
The location places the property minutes from Downtown Jacksonville, Atlantic Boulevard, and the Southside, with convenient access to major destinations including EverBank Stadium, Mayport Naval Station, Jacksonville International Airport, and the area’s beaches. The surrounding neighborhood continues to see investment momentum, highlighted by new residential developments, schools, and institutional projects—including a new medical school campus nearby.
Demographics further strengthen the site’s appeal. Within a five-mile radius, the area supports a population of more than 205,000 residents and over 83,000 households, with an average household income exceeding $72,000—a strong foundation for both residential absorption and commercial demand.
Industry professionals describe the offering as a true “land-cover play”—a rare chance to control scale, visibility, and access in a built-out urban corridor. As Jacksonville continues its rapid growth and redevelopment push, sites of this size and prominence are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
For serious investors and visionary developers, the Arlington Expressway site represents not just land for sale—but a canvas for the next transformative project in one of Jacksonville’s evolving gateways.
