JACKSONVILLE — San Francisco-based Prologis Inc. broke ground Tuesday on a $380 million, 2.8 million-square-foot industrial campus adjacent to JAXPORT’s Blount Island terminal, the largest spec warehouse development in Jacksonville’s history.
The project, called Prologis JAXPORT Logistics Center, will consist of six buildings ranging from 260,000 to 620,000 square feet on a 212-acre site the company acquired from the City of Jacksonville for $47 million in January 2026.
The company selected Brasfield & Gorrie as general contractor for the first two buildings, totaling 1.1 million square feet, with an expected completion date of Q2 2027. The remaining four buildings will be developed on a rolling basis based on tenant demand.
“Jacksonville is one of the top industrial markets in the Southeast, and JAXPORT’s ongoing expansion makes this corridor increasingly attractive to global logistics operators,” said Prologis Vice President of Development Rick Harrington.
JAXPORT CEO Eric Green said the campus will complement the port’s $775 million capital improvement program and strengthen Jacksonville’s position as a Southeast distribution hub. The port currently handles 1.4 million TEUs annually and is expanding container capacity by 40 percent.
The buildings will feature 40-foot clear heights, cross-dock configurations, and EV charging infrastructure for commercial fleets. Prologis has committed to achieving LEED Silver certification on all buildings in the campus.
The project is expected to support 4,200 permanent jobs when fully leased, with an annual payroll impact of $310 million, according to an economic study by JAXUSA Partnership.
