JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. – The future of Jacksonville Beach venture Landing is up for a vote Monday night — a plan to replace the park with apartments will be decided by the Jacksonville Beach City Council.
If the city council approves the latest plan submitted by the developers — it would be three years before anyone would call that location home.
Efforts to convert the site of the amusement park into housing started in June 2021.
Trevato Development Group is the developer behind the project and plans to build a 427-unit apartment community with about 5,000 square feet of retail and office space.

Since then – the developer has been forced to adjust its plans by the city of Jacksonville Beach in order to get the land rezoned.
In its latest proposal, the developer agreed to make 7% of the apartments which is roughly 30 units available for affordable housing.
venture Landing makes up 22.2 acres of the site with the Trevato project comprising 53.8 acres, but only 10.9 acres will be developed.
That’s a 40% reduction in the total land development as permitted by the city of Jacksonville Beach Comprehensive Plan. The remainder would be conservation land.
The Jacksonville Beach council will give its final vote Monday.
