This is a hideous looking condo project

The Metropolitan is a great example of urban mid-rise construction in Jax Beach

A new townhome project on 2nd Street

The first tower of Marina San Pablo starting to rise over Butler Blvd
http://img294.echo.cx/img294/3086/sanpablo4ca.jpg
Observations
1. The look and feel of First Street will be forever changed, once these projects (and a couple others I didn't take pics of) are completed.
2. There's a significant amount of towers rising on the west side of First Street.
3. The City of Jacksonville Beach missed a perfect opportunity to convert First Street into a more lively scene, by allowing new developments to line it with parking garages.
4. The densification of Jax Beach, should create a larger market for bars, restaurants and retail, in downtown Jax Beach.
