Update Time: All That’s Happening Near Seven Pines

Approximately 18 months since it first opened, many good things are popping up near Seven Pines, the unique master-planned community southeast of Jacksonville that embodies its tagline — “a legacy of gathering.”

Indeed, many things are gathering at Seven Pines, including physical things such as buildings, amenities and road construction. All good stuff! And, if you’re considering buying or building your new-construction home at Seven Pines, there’s even more good news ahead.

Here’s an update on all that’s happening near and at Seven Pines.

New medical office buildings.

Seven Pines’ massive future footprint will include all sorts of services that will ease residents’ access to healthcare, shopping, dining and other activities near their own neighborhood.

One of these options is a new 50,000-square foot medical building slated for a 2025 opening. It’ll be located on Stillwood Pines Boulevard. Halo Precision Diagnostics will fill the first floor, per Chuck Diebel of Colliers North Florida, in a recent Jacksonville Daily Record article.

Also on the horizon is a future Baptist Health facility. The company purchased 10 acres in the Seven Pines development footprint in October 2021. Stay tuned for future updates.

Mayo Clinic to expand nearby

Seven Pines’ location just southeast of the State Road 202 (Butler Boulevard)-Kernan Boulevard intersection off Interstate 295, could not be more convenient for current and future residents.

Jacksonville’s premier shopping, dining and entertainment enclave, St. Johns Town Center, is just up the street, as is the University of North Florida. And, Atlantic beaches are an approximate five-mile drive east on Butler Boulevard.

Mayo Clinic’s Jacksonville campus at the corner of Butler Boulevard and San Pablo Road also is a Seven Pines neighbor. Now this world-class medical facility is expanding, as it awaits rezoning on its existing 210-acre North Campus, per the Jacksonville Daily Record. The rezoning request would expand the Clinic’s local footprint to nearly 600 acres.

Even better is Mayo Clinic’s longer-term expansion vision for its Jacksonville location. Labeled Phase VI — again, per the Jacksonville Daily Record — it foresees 7.5 million square feet of medical facilities by November 2045. Founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Mayo Clinic’s Jacksonville facility first opened in May 1986.

New traffic interchange

If you’re a current Seven Pines, this likely can’t be completed fast enough. But if you’re a prospective Seven Pines resident, the ongoing road construction at the State Road 202 (Butler Boulevard)-Kernan Boulevard intersection will streamline traffic into and out of the neighborhood, along with updated pedestrian and cycling options.

This two-year project is nearing a 2024 completion.

Amenity center is en route

Seven Pines’ amenity center is taking finishing shape and will be the community’s activity hub.

The 7,900-square-foot building offers social spaces and will anchor the surrounding amenities. Expect resort-style swimming pools, a 34-acre park and a launch point for personal watercraft, with canoes and kayaks available on its adjacent lake. A two-mile trail encircles the lake.

Can’t wait!

Searching for a new home in the Jacksonville area, but not just any new home? How about a one-of-a-kind home in a one-of-a-kind neighborhood?

You’ll find both at Seven Pines, a unique master-planned community on Jacksonville’s southeast side. It checks all the convenience and location boxes for almost any new-home buyer,  and its development comes with a history all its own.

Seven Pines is named for seven brothers in the local Skinner family, which has longtime roots in the Jacksonville area. It sits on acreage once owned by the Skinners and used by family members for holiday celebrations and recreation.

Now, the same northeast Florida site is welcoming new families hoping — in the words of Seven Pines’ tagline — to create their own “Legacy of Gathering.” Two newer opportunities to do that are 60-foot and 70-foot homesites on Seven Pines’ lakefront. These spacious lots are designated for rear-load floor plans to feature the watery views and coastal, forested surroundings.

About Seven Pines

It’s not all about location, but a superb one sure helps! Seven Pines has it — just southeast of the Butler Boulevard-Interstate 295 interchange, where new road work is transforming the community’s entry off the intersection of Kernan and Butler Boulevards.

Thanks to the I-95 beltway, Seven Pines residents are only a few moments from Atlantic beaches, Jacksonville’s best shopping and dining at St. Johns Town Center, and the city’s numerous arts, cultural, and sports activities.

There’s also plenty of room among 1,000 acres that someday will contain 1,600 single-family homes, apartments, and more than one million square feet for retail and commercial use.

The amenities match the exquisite siting — a 34-acre Central Park, a lakeside Club Legacy with a fitness center, event and social spaces, resort-style swimming pools, a spray park, and a playground. Club Legacy’s lakeside outpost also will stock personal watercraft.

Seven Pines is a collaboration between top homebuilders David Weekley Homes and ICI Homes. Expect contemporary homes with a timeless look-feel, up-to-the-minute construction techniques and materials, plus a choice of front-load or rear-load homesites.

Speaking of…

Those new lots and homes

Does a 60-foot or 70-foot lakefront homesite sound tantalizing? How about a rear-load floor plan that frames Seven Pines’ woodsy and watery vistas? If you’re puzzling over the term “rear load,” it means garages and driveways at the rear of a floor plan. They’re reached through a small street that leads past the back of your and your neighbors’ homes.

These new larger lots also mean larger homes. Think four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a three-vehicle garage, and one or two-level floor plans. The additional space and rear-load privacy also mean the opportunity to maximize outdoor living. Think summer kitchen, fire pits, spas and lounge-y screened porches.

Don’t forget the incentives

Builder incentives make owning a new Seven Pines home an even better deal. Check with your sales associate to see what’s on the current offer.
