The Real Estate Developer Leading The Charge in Downtown Development

JWB has been buying buildings in Downtown Jacksonville since 2020 and now own over 20 city blocks including 6 historic renovation and adaptive reuse developments. 

JWB now owns old Seminole Club which is now the home of Sweet Pete’s Candy, the old Florida Baptist Convention building which is now 218 Church St., the historic Federal Reserve reserve building which will soon become an event space, the Porter House mansion, The Old First Baptist Auditorium which they converted into NoCo center which has featured the popular “Beyond” immersive experiences including the upcoming “Beyond Monet”, and the famous historic Greenleaf & Crosby building which will become their new headquarters later this year. 

Eager to more quickly revitalize Downtown Jacksonville, JWB acquired over 20 city blocks, partnered with DLP Capital, and formed Gateway Jax, which is on track to begin their first $500 Million of $2 Billion in development  Downtown.

JWB is not only one of the major contributors to downtowns revitalization, they are a leader in historic renovation adaptive reuse developments and a leader in affordable housing in Jacksonville

JWB has quickly become one of the largest Real Estate Developers in Jacksonville and North East Florida. 

But how does a Real Estate Developer of JWB’s magnitude get so big?  

If you look at some of the larger Real Estate Development firms like JWB Real Estate Capital and Corner Lot and analyze where they began, they all seem to trace back to investing in Single Family Real Estate, the silent space which both developers still actively operate; Corner Lot through its now home building company, Breeze Homes, and JWB through its unique turnkey investing services.   

JWB’s innovative turnkey investing solution provides an innovative full service solution to beginner investors, working professionals, and savvy investors who don’t want to deal with all the headaches of owning investment rental properties, including property management, covering any renovations or home repairs, and leasing the property so the investment rental already comes with a long term resident providing cash flow to cover the mortgage.

JWB’s business model has become so successful that the company now has over 6,000+ properties under management and they currently deliver over $5 million in cash flow to their investors every month!

A win win for renters, JWB’s team has perfected the process since opening its doors in 2006 and have come up with quality yet cost effective solutions to renovate properties to keep the cost low for both the investor and the renter.  JWB has not only become the leading home builders and providers of single family investment rentals, it has also become a leader in affordable housing in a city with a housing crises due to the city growing with a demand faster than its available supply for homes.  Jacksonville was listed as one of the Top 5 Boomtowns in the country by LendingTree and ranked nationally as one of the largest Southern Cities leading the nation in population growth in 2023 by the United States Census Bureau!

For those wondering how to become a real estate developer, real estate investor, or are an investor looking for an easier way to invest; look at where the successful investors and developers started.

JWB began investing in single family rental properties in 2006 and now are about to break ground on the first $500 Million of their $2 Billion real estate development in Downtown Jacksonville in 2024. Single family rentals are still an active part of their business, so JWB’s Turnkey single-family investment rental properties may be a good option to explore.
