Federal Build-to-Suit Development Supporting Jacksonville's Port Operations
General Capital was selected by the General Services Administration (GSA) to develop a 50,000-square-foot federal facility in Jacksonville, Florida, serving the United States Coast Guard and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Located near Jacksonville's active port operations, the purpose-built development brings both agencies together within a shared base of operations. The facility was designed to accommodate specialized federal security requirements while providing functional administrative and operational space to support the agencies' responsibilities.
Working alongside general contractor Duke Realty and architectural firm the Arcus Group, General Capital coordinated a development strategy balancing security, sustainability, and workplace efficiency. Designed to target LEED Silver certification, the building incorporates natural daylighting, energy-efficient systems, and comfortable interior environments. The project demonstrates General Capital's experience delivering specialized government facilities through collaborative partnerships, addressing complex federal requirements while creating an efficient, adaptable workplace for two essential agencies.
