The Beachwalk development — famed for its crystal blue lagoon — is looking to fill four restaurant spaces overlooking its signature attraction, The Citizen has learned.
Developers initially planned to place at least seven restaurants around the lagoon to create a a St. Johns County upscale dining hub, but have since pared that number to four.
Whiskey Joe’s Bar & Grill and Fysh Bar & Grill were reported as potential tenants, but their plans have since changed.
Beachwalk developers are currently courting eateries to sign leases.
“We are looking for good local or regional restaurants,” said Jenny Schuemann, Vice President of Leasing for PEBB enterprises.
The firm has already leased out the storefronts facing County Road 210 — including an incoming Chipotle and Kilwins and a recently opened Playa Bowls — and is now focused on the premier lagoon-front sites.
Schuemann said the sit down dining spots are roughly 5,000 to 8,000 sq. ft. each and will have direct views of the water and the Beachwalk Clubhouse.
Valet parking will also be available.
Plans are still on track for Margaritaville to begin construction on a hotel resort next year.
