Hawkshaw Eastside is a $20 million development that will occupy a two-acre parcel of formerly-public land near the Gulf Power building at Ninth Avenue and Romana Street. It will include 94 residential condominiums, ranging in price from affordable to upscale, along with 16,000 sq ft of commercial space in four three-story buildings. The plan was chosen over four competing concepts on August 31, 2006 by the Pensacola City Council in its role as the Community Redevelopment Agency.
The principals of Hawkshaw Eastside, Inc., which will pay the city $1.8 million for the land, are Paul Snider, Jim Cronley, Bill Whitesell and Jim Reeves. The plan was developed by Bullock-Tice Associates, Terhaar-Cronley and Whitesell-Green.
Prices for some units are expected to start at around $125,000. Reeves told a WEAR news team, "The idea is to try to get our workforce firemen, policemen, school teachers to move back downtown, where they've moved away from." However, critics have questioned how many of the 94 units will stay at this price point and many will be targeted to more affluent buyers.
