Redevelopment of Jacksonville’s St. John’s River Power Park: A New Era for Industrial Growth
Jacksonville continues to evolve as one of the strongest logistics and industrial markets in the Southeast, and few redevelopment projects highlight that momentum more than the transformation of the historic St. John’s River Power Park Property. This major site has long been recognized for its strategic footprint and transportation access, and its ongoing redevelopment is setting the stage for new warehouse, distribution, and logistics opportunities across North Jacksonville.
Background of the St. John’s River Power Park Property
The St. John’s River Power Park Property covers an expansive 2,000 acres in North Jacksonville. For decades it served as a critical energy site, home to a coal-fired power plant and the St. John’s River Coal Terminal. The property includes valuable transportation assets such as a deep-water berth directly on the Jacksonville harbor channel and more than six miles of private rail track weaving throughout the site. Its location places it in close proximity to major corridors, rail access points, and port operations, making it an ideal candidate for large-scale logistics redevelopment.
Redevelopment Plans and Progress
After the power park was officially decommissioned and demolished in 2019, interest in the site surged. Today, progress is being led by Jacksonville-based engineering and planning firm England-Thims & Miller Inc., who are overseeing preparations for sale and long-term reuse. The redevelopment vision includes transforming the area into a modern industrial hub anchored by four new warehouses totaling approximately 275,000 square feet.
While some sections of the site are already undergoing earthwork, infrastructure improvements, and environmental refinements, the overall redevelopment timeline is projected to span as long as twelve years. As the plan advances, the property is expected to attract distributors, manufacturers, and supply chain operators seeking a strategic position near JaxPort’s Blount Island Marine Terminal and other major freight corridors. The combination of rail access, water access, and roadway connectivity makes this one of the most promising industrial sites in Northeast Florida.
