APR Energy moving to Park 295 (Courtesy of the Jacksonville Daily Record) — APR Energy is downsizing its Jacksonville presence, moving from a North Jacksonville facility to a smaller location in Park 295 Industrial Park.
It will leave a more than 186,000-square-foot building in NorthPoint Industrial Park for a roughly 42,000-square-foot space in Park 295.
Jacksonville-based APR, founded in 2004, provides power plants on a fast-track basis around the world.
APR Energy was publicly traded before a buyout by a group of private equity firms in 2016.
APR was sold again in February 2020 for $750 million to Atlas Corp., a publicly traded Hong Kong-based holding company.
The sale came several months before APR founder John Campion died in October at the age of 57. He was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in 2018.
His obituary said Campion retired as executive chairman of APR Energy in 2019, after the diagnosis, but continued to serve as its chairman.
APR and Atlas have not responded to a request for comment.
The city issued a permit May 4 for APR Energy to build-out 42,038 square feet of space in Park 295 at 2619 Ignition Drive, No. 4, at an estimated cost of $500,000.
The park is in Northwest Jacksonville at Interstate 295 and Duval Road.
The move to Park 295 fills up that development’s first structure, Building B. APR Energy joins tenants Ulta Beauty, Quiet 3PF and Sarnova.
