Four years in the making, the Whole Foods Market in Downtown Jacksonville\u2019s Brooklyn district opened May 21.<\/p>\n
The 38,432-square-foot store is part of the One Riverside mixed-use development on the Downtown Northbank site of the demolished Florida Times-Union building.<\/p>\n
Hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Store features include a prepared foods department, organic and conventional produce, meat and seafood counters, more than 500 wines and 200 craft beers, a bakery department and a health and wellness department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The city issued a permit Sept. 10 for RCC Associates of Deerfield Beach to build-out the store shell at 1 Riverside Ave., Unit 1000, at a project cost of $7.5 million.<\/p>\n
Atlanta-based Fuqua Development, which developed Whole Foods Market and a separate retail building for lease to tenants, announced in April 22 that Whole Foods would be part of the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fuqua and TriBridge Residential, also of Atlanta, developed the $250 million One Riverside project, plans for which included 270 residential units and riverfront restaurants.<\/p>\n
In November 2021, Jacksonville City Council approved a $31.59 million incentives package for the development.<\/p>\n
The Whole Foods is across Riverside Avenue from The Fresh Market.<\/p>\n
Also Downtown, discount grocer Aldi is renovating part of the former Harveys Supermarket at 777 N. Market St., at southeast Market and Union streets.<\/p>\n
Publix Super Markets Inc. confirmed in September 2025 it will open a 31,000-square-foot store in 2028 in the Gateway Jax property at 119 W. Beaver St., east of Hogan Street between Union and Beaver streets.<\/p>\n
