Related Group announced that it is set to begin sales for Azure, its new beachfront boutique condominium development.

The nine-story building features 26 condominium units, ranging in size from 2,400 to 6,500 square feet. Designed by Arquitectonica, the building also features a fitness center, steam room, sauna, massage room, oceanfront pool deck, and a poolside bar.

The development is Related Group’s first project in the Jacksonville area; it also plans to redevelop the River City Brewing Company property in downtown Jax.
