Construction has begun on a proposed shopping center expansion at the corner of Roosevelt Boulevard and Beverly Avenue in the Fairfax area.

A permit filed on Feb. 9 allowed for the demolition of two existing structures on the parcel of land at 4461 Beverly Ave.

This parcel is located just behind the extended parking lot for the existing Roosevelt Market Place shopping center featuring Mattress One and Jersey Mike’s Subs.

Prior to demolition, the Beverly Avenue parcel featured a single-family residence separated from that parking area by a wooden fence.

County records show the parcel was sold to Triple Net Equities Inc. in July 2020; this same entity owns the neighboring parcel for Roosevelt Market Place as well as the lot directly behind 4461 Beverly Ave. – 4457 Beverly Ave. – which it acquired in March 2022.

The principal and mailing addresses for Triple Net Equities Inc. is the same address as Peter Sleiman Development Group, which has a number of retail and office properties throughout Jacksonville and the surrounding areas, including the Roosevelt Plaza directly across the street from Mattress One and Jersey Mike’s Subs.

A Proposed Building and Parking Lot Expansion plan for Roosevelt Market Place has been filed with the City and JEA. The plan lists the development team as Baker Design Build, Doherty Sommers Architects Engineers, Inc., Tri-State Land Surveyors Inc. and Janet O. Whitmill, RLA, Inc.

A building permit filed on Feb. 12 for the shell building describes the project as “6,010 [square foot] shell retail and office building,” one story high, with an estimated cost of $500,000.

According to Edd Langdon, principle with general contractor Ticon, no tenants are yet slated for the new construction, which will house one to three tenants. Estimated completion date is Sept. 1.
