Vivo Living Jacksonville Wins FPZA's 2023 Outstanding Public Impact Award
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivo Living, in partnership with Kimley-Horn, is the proud winner of the Florida Planning & Zoning Association's (FPZA) 2023 Outstanding Public Impact Award. The purpose of the FPZA Awards is to recognize companies that have contributed to the beauty and utility of Florida's built environment.
Located at 7071 103rd Street on Jacksonville's west side, this visionary redevelopment project has transformed a former hotel into a 103-unit apartment complex. The property currently operates as an extended stay hotel while awaiting its final approvals for a change of use to residential apartments.
Here's what makes Vivo Living Jacksonville stand out:
Sustainable Transformation: Four existing buildings have received a new lease on life with beautifully renovated studio apartments that include refrigerators, microwaves, and A/C. These units redefine space utility and resource efficiency.
Location Perks: Positioned conveniently close to Interstate 295 and walking distance to transit, residents will benefit from effortless commutes.
Affordable Living with Top-tier Amenities: While Vivo aims for rents 10% to 20% below the current market rates, residents won't compromise on comforts. Amenities include high-speed Wi-Fi, swimming pool, fitness center, laundry facility, outdoor BBQ, and a vibrant community space for socializing with friends.
"More than half of renters in Jacksonville are housing-cost burdened spending more than 30% of their income on rent. With Vivo Living, we're offering affordable rents in a freshly revamped building right in Jacksonville's core" remarked Dan Norville, Vivo Living's founder and CEO. "This innovative approach to solving for housing shortages offers the Jacksonville community more diverse housing choices while crafting a more habitable, secure, and green environment for everyone."
Vivo Living Jacksonville represents an innovative solution to Jacksonville's shortage of low- and moderate-income housing. Projects like this one will be essential to making housing equitable and attainable for the entire Jacksonville community. For more information about the property, go to VivoLivingJacksonville.com.
