Project developer G.I.S. Holdings Inc. of Atlanta, GA is making a third attempt to build a self-storage facility on property that now is the current site of Thai Basil restaurant, at Hendricks Avenue and Prudential Drive in Jacksonville, FL.

When the city last considered a proposal, in June 2023, the rezoning request proposed a six-story, mixed-use development with ground-floor retail, about 36,000 square feet of residential, a rooftop bar and 130,000 square feet of self-storage.

The Planning and Zoning Commission gave approval March 21 to demolish the vacant Taylor Rental building and the house behind it in Monroe, CT. That will create a way for two 15,000-square-foot self-storage buildings at 515-517 Main St. The property is next door to the Starbucks on Route 25. Property owner Thomas Cristiano, a representative of T&C Ventures LLC, the property owner, has been working with Sara and Thomas Harris – who will be able to see the rooftops of the warehouses from the backyard of their Freedman Lane home – on adding trees to give more screening. The self-storage business will be located in a special development district in a business-1 zone. That will allow the use of the 3.12-acre property. Source: The Monroe Sun
