There is talk of a new life for a project that was set to replace a former Jacksonville landmark, the now-demolished River City Brewing Company restaurant on the Southbank.

The City of Jacksonville Downtown Development Review Board (DDRB) meet this week and approved moving forward with several development proposals around downtown Jacksonville, including a proposed wine bar in Brooklyn, a parking garage expansion near the TIAA Bank Building and a revamped mixed-use project at the former home of River City Brewing Company.

The City of Jacksonville Downtown Development Review Board (DDRB) is set to meet to look at moving forward with several development proposals around downtown Jacksonville.

A plan for new apartments and a restaurant at the site of the old River City Brewing Company on Jacksonville’s Southbank has been delayed even though the old landmark restaurant was torn down.

River City Brewing Company shut its doors last month after 27 years. Now you can own a piece of the iconic Southbank staple.

The Southbank restaurant and bar will be remembered for birthday parties, anniversary dinners, post-game celebrations, community events, election-night watch parties and, perhaps most, by everyday patrons.

Boat owners, docked at the River City Brewing Company marina on Jacksonville’s Southbank, have less than 30 days to move out.

Members of the Jacksonville City Council took a major step forward Tuesday on one of the latest projects planned along the Southbank.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Downtown Investment Authority on Wednesday discussed the redevelopment of the River City Brewing Company site on Jacksonville’s Southbank. The land is owned by the city. A South Florida developer is proposing tearing down the landmark restaurant, building apartments and making improvements to the marina on-site. During Wednesday’s Downtown Investment Authority meeting, an agreement was tweaked. Under the plan, the current restaurant would be allowed to remain open until September 2022.

Jacksonville’s Downtown Investment Authority voted Wednesday afternoon to allow a Miami-based developer to proceed with plans for a $90 million, 335-unit complex next to Friendship Foundation, a project that would involve the demolition of River City Brewing Company. Some background: The city, which owns the land where the restaurant sits, gave a 99-year lease to the owner of River City Brewing Company in 1998. The first plans unveiled by The Related Group included the aforementioned luxury apartment complex, but no restaurant or retail space. I’m glad there’s a cap at $500,000.”Unlike River City Brewing Company, the new restaurant would not sit right on the water, representatives for the developers said. For the time being, River City Brewing Company remains open as does the marina.
