The parking lot sold for $430,000 more than the seller paid for it in April 2015. It is next to the Omni Jacksonville Hotel and across the street from the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts.

In December, Llorens paid $2.78 million for a 1.21-acre site at 10 North Pearl Street, formerly occupied by a Greyhound bus station.

Among other Jacksonville properties he has acquired since 2014, Llorens has purchased a 2.78 parking lot at Hogan and West Bay streets, a parking garage at 336 West Bay Street, the TIAA Bank Center, and 250 acres of land along New Berlin Road. [Jacksonville Daily Record]Mike Seemuth
