National developer Ryan Cos. has announced the topping out of construction at the new JEA Headquarters in Downtown Jacksonville. The 125-foot-tall tower will feature large windows and open floor plans geared toward collaborative meeting space for JEA, one of the nation’s largest community-owned electric utility companies.

The seven-story, 153,000-square-foot, build-to-suit project is expected to revitalize Jacksonville’s central business district and is slated to be completed in 2022. The Class A office tower also includes a seven-story 630 space parking garage and street-level retail. The new JEA headquarters is located at 225 Pearl St.

“Despite the challenging year, Ryan Cos. and JEA have displayed exceptional planning, teamwork, and creativity to reach the height of development on this Downtown Jacksonville office project,” said Scott Stenman, vice president of construction at Ryan Cos. “Our team has faced different obstacles throughout 2020 as the pandemic has changed the way we safely construct buildings as well as how society views traditional office space. I am proud of our progress and our ability to reach this milestone on time.”
