The latest entertainment project, a Topgolf venue near the St. Johns Town Center, brought more than 500 jobs to the area. Another strong sector is health care, which attracted employers such as Formativ Health. Founded as a partnership of Northwell Health, New York\u2019s largest healthcare provider, and Pamplona Capital Management, the company is set to bring another 500 jobs to the area. On the retail front, Amazon, which has been one of Florida\u2019s best job creators over the past few years, is opening its first fulfillment center in Jacksonville by the end of the year and employing 1,500 people. A second facility is expected to create an additional 1,000 jobs. By the end of the year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/new-ikea-store-to-open-in-jacksonville\/\">IKEA<\/a>, the Swedish home furnishing giant, will open a new store projected to hire 250 people.<\/p>\n<p>With vacancy under 5 percent, a relatively small amount of inventory underpins the need for more apartments. Development is set to ramp up, though, with more than 4,500 units under construction as of March. Investment activity peaked at $916 million in 2016. We expect absorption to keep up with the new supply coming online in 2017, leading to continued rent growth this year.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardimatrix.com\/Media\/Downloads\/File\/230-Jacksonville-Spring2017Outlook?utm_medium=Research-Center&amp;utm_source=CPE&amp;utm_campaign=230-Jacksonville-Spring2017Outlook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Yardi Matrix report<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A healthy employment climate, an inexpensive cost of living and mild weather are attracting jobs and new residents, creating demand for apartments and bolstering rent growth, according to Yardi Matrix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":260,"featured_media":1004175825,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37769,1591,21742,37795],"tags":[33254,35980,32785],"class_list":["post-1004175545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rc-absorption","category-jacksonville","category-latest","category-rc-occupancy","tag-amazon-com-inc","tag-topgolf-international","tag-yardi-matrix"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
