Downtown Jacksonville is starting to feel different—and that’s not by accident.

That’s why we’re bringing Bryan Moll, CEO of Gateway Jax, back to update us on what’s really happening downtown, and how it could impact long-term rental property values.

- The strategy behind the Pearl Street District and why it matters for Jacksonville
- What other developments are spurring up now that Pearl street has started
- How to spot the early signs of explosive market transformation
- What Bryan’s work in Tampa and Austin taught him—and why Jacksonville is next
