Thanks to Dan Herbin from Metro Jacksonville for the photo. Also check out this article from Metro Jacksonville for more on Main Street development in Springfield.
I spoke with Bill Cesery shortly after the ground breaking for a new Springfield development, Third and Main.

This event was scaled down quite a bit compared to the last Third and Main event, back when it was the Lofts at Third and Main. Coincidentally the old website for the development is still up, you guys might want to do something about that to avoid confusion between the old and new project.
Anyway, Bill and I talk about the new focus of the project, extended stay hotel and apartment units. Apparently Cesery and Shands have worked out a deal to house patients who are having cancer therapy at the new Proton Beam facility at Shands. Cool! So it’s likely the development will be filled to capacity much of the time.

Great interview. I also hope that this project will spur additional development along the Main Street corridor.
I second that notion, lakelander. As I hope the new development on 15 west sixth street will also. Have those been sold?
The first has sold and should be complete in about a month. The second will start going vertical immediately after the first is complete, as a spec unit, if it hasn’t been sold by then.
