St. Joe’s land in Panama City is within walking distance of the Russell-Fields Pier and the Pier Park shopping center, which spans nearly 900,000 square feet.

St. Joe also is in another joint venture to build a limited-service hotel next to Frank Brown Park in Panama City.

Key International currently is pursuing several developments including a 175-room Embassy Suites hotel on an oceanfront site in St. Augustine. – Mike Seemuth
