In 2022, JAXPORT announced its $210 million agreement to relocate and modernize the Southeast Toyota Distributors’ existing vehicle processing operations from Talleyrand to Blount Island in Jacksonville, FL.
This is JE Dunn’s second project with Southeast Toyota Distributors, the first being a new 300-acre, 12-building processing center located in Commerce, GA. The Commerce facility increased vehicle processing efficiency and associate engagement by prioritizing the incorporation of associate suggestions into the design plans – goals that align with Southeast Toyota Distributors’ mission for the new JAXPORT facility.
Southeast Toyota Distributor’s new JAXPORT processing center will consist of seven buildings totaling over 380,000 square feet, including a fuel island, on over 88 acres of land. The relocation and construction of the new processing facility is expected to generate nearly 1,000 jobs in the community.
The main building, the Accessory Installation Building, will be 272,000 square feet and will include office and amenity space. The location has an emphasis on associate experience which is evident through its full kitchen, cafeteria, locker rooms, accompanying fitness center, meeting and training rooms, and management offices.
The new JAXPORT facility will be capable of processing nearly 4,000 vehicles per week.
