Jaguars spokesperson Lyndsay Rossman confirmed Dec. 15 that three penthouses issued build-out permits Dec. 12 are Khan family members’ residences. She confirmed those are for Khan’s daughter, Shanna, and son, Tony.
Both are officers in Khan’s businesses.
Shanna Khan is the chief design officer of the Four Seasons Private Residences.
Tony Khan is chief football strategy officer for the Jaguars and, with his father, is an owner of Fulham Football Club of the English Premier League. Tony Khan was named Fulham’s vice chairman and director of football operations in February 2017.
At $14 million, the city issued permits for three of the four penthouses at the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences, from almost $2.9 million to $7.9 million each.
Owners of Penthouses 1, 2 and 3 are associated with Khan, who is developing the Northbank riverfront project at 1406 E. Bay St. near EverBank Stadium.
Plans show the largest, Penthouse 1, as 22,242 square feet on the top level of the residential wing of the project, with build-out of 11,906 square feet of interior space and 10,336 square feet of remaining as outdoor space. That cost is $7.87 million.
It also is called Unit O and appears to be for Shad Khan.
With at least four bedrooms, the plans show living, dining, kitchen and exercise space along with a theater and a gathering and entertainment area with an expansive corner view of the St. Johns River.
It is owned by Qisma LLC of Urbana, Illinois, with an address at Flex-N-Gate LLC, Khan’s international automotive parts company that he has operated since 1978. The company began as a one-piece bumper design and now has more than 850 patents worldwide.
Flex-N-Gate.com says it designs and manufactures plastic, metal, mechanical assemblies and lighting systems.
Khan’s 400-foot yacht is named Kismet. Kismet and Qisma similarly mean destiny or fate.
The Permission by Owner to Obtain Permits information shows each of three LLCs also are connected with Shipyards Trustee Jacksonville LLC, based at EverBank Stadium and managed by Khan’s Iguana Investments Florida LLC.
While the plan says Penthouse 1 is on the 10th level, Rossman has said the residential wing is nine levels because it has higher ceilings than the hotel wing’s 10 floors.
Rossman explained Dec. 15 there are nine floors of residences, although there is a mechanical transfer zone above the eighth floor, which for permitting purposes, identifies the top residential floor as the 10th.
For the three penthouses issued build-out permits Dec. 12, Straticon LLC of Boca Raton is the contractor
The project team includes Impact Development Management of Atlanta as the owner’s representative; Raj Consultancy of Naperville, Illinois, as the architect of record; Oak Brook, Illinois-based Fujikawa Johnson Gobel, also called FJG Architects, as the associate architect; and Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, also called MBDS, of New York City as the interior designer.
