'''Hawkshaw Eastside''' is a $20 million development that will occupy a two-acre parcel of formerly-public land near the [[Gulf Power]] building at Ninth Avenue and Romana Street. It will include 94 residential condominiums, ranging in price from affordable to upscale, along with 16,000 sq ft of commercial space in four multithree-story buildings. The plan was developed in part by architectural firm [[Bullock Tice Associates]] and was chosen over four competing concepts on August 31, 2006 by the [[Pensacola City Council]] in its role as the [[Community Redevelopment Agency]]. The principals of Hawkshaw Eastside, Inc., which will pay the city $1.8 million for the land, are [[Paul Snider]], [[Jim Cronley]], [[Bill Whitesell]] and [[Jim Reeves]]. The plan was developed by [[Bullock-Tice Associates]], [[Terhaar-Cronley]] and [[Whitesell-Green]].  Prices for some units are expected to start at around $125,000. Reeves told a [[WEAR]] news team, "The idea is to try to get our workforce firemen, policemen, school teachers to move back downtown, where they've moved away from." However, critics have questioned how many of the 94 units will stay at this price point and many will be targeted to more affluent buyers. ==External Links==*[http://pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060618/NEWS01/606180336/1006 Empty lot is hot property], [[Pensacola News Journal]], June 19, 2006*[http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060831/NEWS01/608310345/1006 City to choose tract's future], [[Pensacola News Journal]], August 31, 2006*[http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060901/NEWS01/609010327/1006 City opts for more condos], [[Pensacola News Journal]], September 1, 2006
