Pond is supporting the revitalization of downtown Jacksonville, Florida, with architectural and engineering design for the Liberty Street Marina, an effort that enhances access to the city’s most defining natural feature: the St. Johns River. As a subconsultant to HDR, Pond is designing the Harbormaster House and delivering architectural, structural, MEP, fire protection, and civil services. The scope includes utility infrastructure along the docks and land-based service connections to support the marina’s essential operations. The Harbormaster House will feature restrooms, showers, laundry facilities, a harbormaster office, boat lift, and a observation deck with vending services and seating—providing key amenities for both commercial operators and transient boaters. Designed to serve tour boats, rentals, and other vessels, the marina will help reenergize Jacksonville’s working waterfront and support long-term economic and recreational activity. Named in honor of former Mayor Hans Tanzler, the project reflects a commitment to honoring Jacksonville’s past while building for its future. Pond is deeply invested in the well-being of the communities we serve—designing infrastructure that supports quality of life, economic growth, and meaningful connections to place. #PowerofPond #60YearsofPond
