JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Without disclosing full details, Jacksonville-based EverBank has decided to keep its headquarters space Downtown, but has not confirmed for how long, according to our news partners at the Jacksonville Daily Record.
“I can confirm that we have signed a renewal of our lease on West Bay Street,” said Michael Cosgrove, senior vice president of corporate communications, July 9, referring to EverBank Center at 301 W. Bay St.

Asked for the size of the space involved, the length of the lease terms and the status of a rejected incentives request to the city to stay Downtown, Cosgrove replied: “We’re not discussing any of the terms.”
A second-quarter office market report by real estate company CBRE referred to key lease transactions that included EverBank as a renewal of 174,000 square feet of space at the 30-story Downtown tower.
The report gave no indication whether the lease was for the short term, which is considered two to four years in the market for a tenant that size, or for a longer term.
“We are happy that EverBank continues to be in downtown today and we’ll do everything we can to keep them here,” said city Chief Communications Officer Phil Perry in a July 9 email.
“Beyond that, we don’t have any updates and refer you to the company for specifics.”
