SERVING THE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE NEEDS OF NORTHEAST FLORIDA SINCE 1993
Unity Plaza, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) created to manage the new central park currently under construction in the burgeoning Brooklyn neighborhood, will be crowdfunding at One Spark serving as both venue and creator with several other premier festival participants. 
 
Unity Plaza's venue/creator space, curated by JAX2025, is located at Juice - A Unity Plaza Gallery on the first floor of the Wells Fargo Tower, 1 Independent Drive in Downtown Jacksonville. Fellow JAX2025 creators Compassionate Families, Flagship Romance, Hour Electric Ride, North Florida Land Trust, Springfield Yoga and We Are Straight Allies underscore the ten pillars of JAX2025's BUILD IT initiative, the second phase in the IMAGINE IT - BUILD IT - REACH IT initiative. 

The Unity Plaza venue 'Community Stage', located outside the gallery at the entry of the Wells Fargo Tower at Bay and Laura Streets, will feature creators and performers throughout the 5-day festival. The Unity Plaza venue schedule will be highlighted by a Pitch Deck Party Friday, April 11 from 3 until 7:30 pm featuring live music and entertainment.

Crowdfunding for Unity Plaza will be dedicated to expanded capital improvements for the park, sponsorship of free public events and essential staffing to oversee the extensive calendar of events in the park.   
Coen Purvis Leads Hallmark Projects to Success
Coen Purvis, SVP at Hallmark Partners, didn't take the podium at last week's official groundbreaking for Unity Plaza. But he certainly could enjoy some satisfaction as his leadership and contributions were very much on display in the remarkable progress being made at Jacksonville's highest profile construction project. 
"The 220 Riverside/Unity Plaza project has been one of Hallmark's most complex undertakings," said Hallmark Co-founder and Principal Alex Coley. "History will show Coen Purvis was the guy with his hands on the wheel from start to successful finish."

Follow downtown Jacksonville's lone tower crane, a commanding sign of a recovering economy and emerging urban center, and you will see Coen's footprints leading into one of his three offices. The others include one at Hallmark's Southpoint corporate offices and the other, Purvis' pick-up truck.

"Coen is a remarkable balance of technician and team player," said Hallmark Co-founder and Principal Jeff Conn. "Managing the complexity of development partners, designers, contractors and city officials over years of planning and more than $50 million requires a skill set unique to very few."
