747 Arlington Rd N, Jacksonville, FL 32211

Description:

747 Arlington Rd offers a prime land value and redevelopment opportunity in Jacksonville. Situated on 3.37 acres of CCG-2 zoned property, the site includes one remaining two-story motel building and a front office building, with one motel structure recently demolished to accommodate future development. The property sits at the signalized corner of Arlington Road and the Arlington Expressway, benefiting from exceptional visibility and a combined AADT of approximately 80,100. Located just 2.5 miles from Jacksonville University, the site is well positioned for a wide range of commercial redevelopment uses.

The property is located just outside the Renew Arlington redevelopment area, a city-led initiative focused on revitalizing Arlington’s key commercial corridors and surrounding neighborhoods. While 747 Arlington Rd is outside the formal project boundary, it benefits from the momentum, infrastructure improvements, and increased investment activity occurring nearby. Its location positions the site to capture spillover demand as redevelopment along Arlington Road and adjacent corridors continues.

The existing motel improvements on the property are considered to have no contributory value and are not being marketed as an income-producing asset. The offering is strictly for land value, with the site positioned for redevelopment. Buyer to independently evaluate any demolition, reuse, or redevelopment plans.




The Renew Arlington initiative is a long-range redevelopment effort led by the City of Jacksonville designed to guide reinvestment in the Arlington area through a formal Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) and supporting Redevelopment Plan. Established in 2015, the CRA covers key commercial corridors — including sections of University Boulevard, Merrill Road, and Arlington Road — and provides a structured framework for revitalization over a 20-year horizon. The plan draws on a decade of community planning and incorporates multiple prior studies to address financing strategies, implementation mechanisms, land use planning, and infrastructure improvements to support redevelopment of aging commercial properties.

As part of the overall strategy, the city has developed associated tools such as a zoning overlay to enhance design standards related to traffic safety, pedestrian environments, streetscape aesthetics, and property planning within the CRA. While funding mechanisms like tax increment financing (TIF) are built into the CRA structure to capture future increases in property tax revenues for reinvestment, the broader goals include stimulating new development, improving corridor infrastructure, and elevating the commercial and visual character of the area.

Overall, Renew Arlington represents a coordinated effort between city government, transportation and utility agencies, community stakeholders, and local institutions to drive economic activity, improve safety and appearance, and strengthen Arlington’s appeal as a commercial and mixed-use submarket in Jacksonville.
