Any day now, Brooks Busey expects to sign a lease for a restaurant at his new development at Sadler Point Marine Center in Jacksonville’s Westside.
That restaurant, which he declines to identify pending the lease, will launch The Bridge, an 18,000-square-foot former furniture and marine retail store to be converted into retail, office and restaurant space.
The property sits next to Sadler Point Marina at 4669 Roosevelt Blvd., along the Ortega River behind Roosevelt Square.
Busey has been thinking about it for about 17 years, since he started working at the marina property under its former owner.
“I’ve been here since 1999 and have wanted to do something with this space,” he said.
Sadler Point Marina Inc., led by Busey, includes his dad, lawyer Stephen Busey, and his sister, Durell Myers.
