The Howell at the Preserve, formerly Preserve Island Pointe

This 260,000 SF apartment community spans 10 acres nine miles north of Downtown Jacksonville, Florida, on a site bordered by a natural wetland that was protected throughout construction with reinforced fencing, erosion barriers, and runoff routed away from the water. Three four-story buildings hold 192 newly constructed residences designed around modern living and everyday convenience. Each home is equipped with a Nest thermostat and energy-saving appliances, giving residents direct control over their living environment, optimizing comfort while reducing energy consumption for those who value sustainability and efficiency.

Shared spaces extend that focus on the resident experience. The community features a private clubhouse with ample communal space, a fitness center, social and cyber café areas, a private mail center, a resort-style saltwater swimming pool, and a bike maintenance station, along with 40 private enclosed garages and standard parking for 328 vehicles. The result is a community where residents have room to gather, stay active, and settle in close to the city, next to a natural area left intact.
