There was a lot of activity in St. Johns this week.

Body:20 received a permit for its build-out at 70 Durbin Pavilion Dr. within The Pavilion at Durbin Park.

Shores Liquors submitted plans for a new 7,400-square-foot outparcel building at Shoppes of St. Johns Parkway.

And the master-planned community Shearwater announced that it has added a neighborhood of build-to-lease homes by 360 Communities, a subsidiary of its development group, Freehold Communities.

PROSPECT FIVE POINTS COMING SOON TO RIVERSIDE

Prospect Five Points, a new wine bar and restaurant, received a certificate of use permit at 1521 Margaret St.

The new eatery, which was announced earlier last year, will take over a building most recently occupied by Marah Brewing Co. and Safe Harbor Seafood. It is currently hiring and hopes to open soon.

LOT J UPDATE

Lot J received committee approval this past week, with a final council vote likely to be held this upcoming week. An amendment was added to ensure the city can recoup some costs in the event of the Jaguars leaving; another amendment to remove the controversial “breadbox” loan was rejected.
