After a seven-month process, a tremendous amount of public engagement and three outstanding designs, the Perkins&Will design team was named winner of the Riverfront Plaza (FKA The Landing) design competition.

Phase 1 of Riverfront Plaza is now under construction and includes an elevated destination playground on top of a park pavilion building, a flexible event lawn, as well as bulkhead and riverwalk improvements. The park pavilion building will include a café space, restrooms and storage space to support the park. Phase 1 is slated for late 2025 completion.

Phase 2 of Riverfront Plaza will include a beer garden, rain garden, a bike and pedestrian connection to the Main Street Bridge and an iconic sculpture situated atop civic stairs that is undeniably unique and authentic to Jacksonville. Phase 2 is anticipated to start in early 2025 with an anticipated completion time of early-to-mid 2027.
