Bradford Allen, a national full-service real estate firm, today announced the successful completion of a 127,096-square-foot office lease with Haskell at 701 San Marco in Jacksonville, Fla. The agreement also grants the tenant exterior signage rights at the top of the building.
Haskell, a longtime Jacksonville-based engineering and construction services firm, relocated its headquarters as part of the deal. JLL negotiated the transaction on behalf of Bradford Allen. Haskell was represented by CBRE.
“Jacksonville companies are increasingly focused on office environments that can aid recruitment and create opportunities for teams to connect and collaborate in person,” said Amy Lind, senior vice president, asset management, at Bradford Allen. “We believe investing in the tenant experience is an integral part of keeping office properties relevant, and 701 San Marco embodies that strategy with best-in-market finishes and amenities.”
701 San Marco is a 706,746-square-foot Class A office property located on Jacksonville’s Southbank, comprising a 19-story east tower and seven-story west wing, connected by a pedestrian walkway. After acquiring the property in 2022, Bradford Allen launched a multimillion-dollar renovation of the property, with finishes and materials inspired by the nearby St. Johns River.
Designed by Gensler, the improvements include modernization of the two-story lobby with enhanced wayfinding, hospitality-inspired seating, modern security and a refreshed café-style coffee bar, as well as upgraded elevators with modernized cabs and destination-dispatch technology. A new 10,000-square-foot fitness center offers strength, cardio and stretch spaces, as well as shower and locker facilities. A curated art program activates indoor and outdoor public spaces with the work of local and internationally recognized artists.
Situated along Jacksonville’s St. Johns River, at the confluence of I-95, I-10 and the Acosta Expressway, 701 San Marco provides convenient access to major highways, the Jacksonville Skyway, water taxis, buses and the riverwalk. Tenants benefit from proximity to a world-class healthcare hub, vibrant fintech community nestled among Fortune 500 firms, walkable parks, shops, restaurants, museums and entertainment, including the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars.
