1534 Oak Street Project: Road Closings and gas lines

Road Closings and gas lines

This is a sign we all hate to see. Our contractor, DW Meyers, has tried to keep road closures to a bare minimum over the course of this project. Until the spaces and landscaping on Margaret Street are put in place sometime next April, that street will never be closed.

Unfortunately, JEA did have to close Oak Street for portions of the day Thursday and today to connect the water and sewer. Though water and sewage won't be flowing through these lines for another 8 months, JEA, as has been the case throughout the start of this project, is on the case and working quickly to get this done.

This connection was done Thursday and will hopefully never be seen again - it's the sewer hookup.

In both cases, they had to dig around this 4" gas line...

And this equally as large At&t fiber optics cable. If you can't upload this blog or anything else in the next few hours - it was JEA! Seriously though, there have been meetings and markings and then more meetings and markings. I have no doubt it will all go well. Is that gas I smell?

About

The 1534 Oak Street Project will establish a unique multi-use building in the heart of the vibrant and diverse 5 Points neighborhood, on land that for years was derelict. Through the addition of office space, Jacksonville’s first true rooftop lounge, and a new restaurant from the team behind Chew and Restaurant Orsay, the project will make an important contribution to the ongoing revitalization of 5 Points.

The new building at 1534 Oak Street Project will be a long-lasting and attractive addition to the architecture of historic 5 Points. Through innovative urban in-fill design, the project will create a multi-use building that maximizes the use of space in a style that is progressive yet timeless.

The 1534 Oak Street Project is one of the few current, major, private developments in Jacksonville’s urban core. It will drive significant economic value during its development and through the businesses that will call it home. The project will create dozens of jobs in construction and in hospitality and bring increased tax revenues and other economic benefits to the neighborhood and to the City of Jacksonville.

The unique team behind the 1534 Oak Street Project represents a rare coming-together of individuals and brands that share a common vision and values. Black Sheep Restaurant Group, DW Meyers Constructors and Design Cooperative are all native to Jacksonville and are committed to the sensitive implementation of this forward-looking development project.
