1637 North Main Street is a two story masonry commercial building of 8,862 square feet in Jacksonville's Historic Springfield district, built in 1924 and offered as a vacant shell on a 0.40 acre site (Lots 4 and 5, Block 33, East Springfield). The building sits within FEMA Flood Zone X and includes land beyond its footprint, on a zero lot line parcel fronting the Main Street corridor.
The building's structural systems have been engineered and substantially rebuilt in advance of this offering. KMD Engineering, LLC prepared construction documents covering the foundation, floor framing, roof framing, the stair tower, and both the front and rear balconies, under the seal of a Florida licensed structural engineer. New foundation footings and columns support reinforced second floor framing, the roof structure was rebuilt to current Florida Building Code wind load requirements, and the front and rear balconies were reconstructed and closed out with signed and sealed engineering letters. Existing brick masonry walls and existing structural steel were retained throughout. A buyer completing the interior build-out takes on a structural shell with its major systems already engineered and documented, rather than an unknown.
The adjoining parcel at 1651 North Main Street is separately available, offering a buyer the option to assemble a larger site. A prior architectural site plan on file explored a mixed-use redevelopment concept across the combined parcels; it is illustrative only and any redevelopment program would need independent verification and approval by the City of Jacksonville.
Offered at $1,300,000, or $146.69 per square foot, with the sale to include both building and land. Zoning and permitted use are not confirmed in this listing and should be verified directly with the City of Jacksonville Planning and Development Department. Full engineering and survey documentation available to qualified buyers upon request.
