Fortegra Financial moves to Jacksonville’s Southside

Fortegra Financial has inked an 11-year, 58,000-square-foot lease that will relocate the company’s corporate headquarters to Flagler’s Deerwood South business park at 10151 Deerwood Park Blvd. in Jacksonville‘s Southside area.

Flagler’s Senior Director of Leasing, Ross Carrier, represented Flagler in the transaction. Craig McCaw and Andy Davidson of MB Real Estate and Brad Chrischilles of CNL Commercial Real Estate represented Fortegra Financial.

Jacksonville-based Fortegra Financial is one of the nation’s leading financial insurance services companies serving the most recognized banks, financial institutions and retailers across the country.

Fortegra’s President and CEO, Richard Kahlbaugh, said the park’s location and corporate setting were among the reasons for its selection.

The park contains four Class-A buildings totaling 521,971 square feet of total office space and parking space. The business park is located at the intersection of Southside Boulevard and J. Turner Butler Boulevard with access to Interstate 95, other major roadways and the neighboring St. Johns Town Center. Other tenants at Deerwood South include JP Morgan Chase and Adecco Group North America.
