Texas Roadhouse is planning its fifth Jacksonville-area restaurant on San Jose Boulevard in Mandarin, replacing a shuttered Fifth Third Bank branch at the corner of Kori Road. The steakhouse chain says the site fills a gap between its existing restaurants in the region, and the new location is expected to seat about 300 customers across 7,926 square feet.
The project, valued at $1.5 million, is planned on 1.79 acres of a larger 2.19-acre parcel at 9716 San Jose Blvd., according to the Jacksonville Daily Record. The land is owned by Ash Properties, and Christian Oldenburg said on August 13 that the site will be leased to Texas Roadhouse, which will build and operate its own restaurant there. Ash Properties, headquartered in Jacksonville, manages a commercial real estate portfolio exceeding 12 million square feet across Northeast Florida, per Showcase.com, and has built a reputation for targeting high-traffic suburban corridors for redevelopment.
Site-development plans describe demolishing the closed bank building and redeveloping the parcel for the steakhouse chain. The city of Jacksonville issued a demolition permit for the bank in October 2025, and the Daily Record’s report notes the city is now reviewing site development plans and a mobility calculation fee before construction can proceed. Texas Roadhouse told the outlet it does not yet have a construction timeline to share.
A Prototype Steakhouse With a Standardized Blueprint
GreenbergFarrow is serving as the project’s agent and civil, structural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical engineer, the same firm handling comparable builds elsewhere. Similar 7,926-square-foot Texas Roadhouse developments engineered by GreenbergFarrow have recently been permitted in other suburban growth markets carrying matching $1.5 million estimated construction costs, Hoodline reported in coverage of a Montgomery-area project. A typical Texas Roadhouse restaurant averages 7,500 to 8,000 square feet, putting the Mandarin build squarely within the chain’s standard footprint…
