Peter Rummell's Healthy Town Site Plan Released

A look at Elements Development LLC's plans for their “Healthy Town” concept at the 28.6-acre JEA Southbank site. Elements Development LLC. is a partnership between developers Michael Balanky and Peter Rummell.
JEA’s board of directors recently voted to enter contract negotiations with Elements of Jacksonville for the future development of the former Southside Generating Station site.

Local developers Peter Rummell and Michael Balanky's proposed Elements development has been pitched as "Healthy Town". The concept includes 1,200 multifamily residential units, 150,000 square feet of retail space and 200,000 square feet of office space. Construction would begin around June 2016 with full buildout completed by September 2019. Elements offered $17.39 million, or $608,164 per acre to JEA to win the bid for the long abandoned Southbank site.
