The Jacksonville Landing’s demolition was mostly complete in early 2020 leaving a large desirable has been a significant landmark in the city for decades.  The demolition did not involve explosives and the structure was deconstructed to minimize disruption to the surrounding buildings and traffic patterns. Interior demolition started in October of 2019 and the building exterior demolition began in November of 2019.

The Jacksonville City Council has approved $15 million to take control of the long term lease for the property.  Concept drawings show that the land will be used to add back some park and garden areas to the downtown area as well as a couple of new business building.  The city of Jacksonville officials have not released details about who will utilize the office space.
