Fins up! Jacksonville Beach Margaritaville Resort plans to open in just over a year

Once construction begins on the eight-story facility, it's estimated to take around 18 months to build.

In just over a year you can be nibblin' on sponge cake and watchin' the sun bake in Jacksonville Beach at the new Margaritaville Resort.

The City of Jacksonville Beach building department says equipment has been moved to the site, located in the 700 block of 1st Street North, for testing of soil ahead of construction. If everything looks good, permits for construction are expected to be approved during the next 30 days.

Once construction begins on the eight-story facility, it's estimated to take around 18 months to build. The building is expected to change the landscape of that area but with changes in latitudes, comes changes in attitudes....you know nothing remains quite the same.

Margaritaville already has several locations in Florida, including Orlando, with price options for every budget.

Until the opening, First Coast News will be busy searchin' for our lost shaker of salt.
