CULTIVATING A WALKABLE, URBAN LANDSCAPE

DIVERSE RETAIL AMENITIES
From chef-driven dining to curated neighborhood shops, Pearl Square brings together more than 20 retail brands and 15+ signature restaurants. It’s a place where fresh discoveries quickly become favorite traditions, and where local character meets national quality.
Publix, Florida’s premiere full-service grocer, will anchor the neighborhood with fresh produce, prepared foods, and pharmacy services.
EFFORTLESS URBAN LIVING
With over 1,250 new residences, Pearl Square offers homes designed for today’s lifestyle. Interiors feature elevated finishes and modern amenities, while the neighborhood’s parks, fitness, and cultural offerings make downtown living seamless. Nestled within Jacksonville’s historic core, Pearl Square sets a new benchmark for urban living.

VIBRANT PUBLIC SPACES
