One of downtown Jacksonville’s most recognizable industrial event spaces is about to feel a lot more churchy. Church of Eleven22 has signed a decade-long lease for The Glass Factory, the roughly 16,000-square-foot venue at 601 N. Myrtle Ave., and says the move will bring more regular programming along with upgraded audiovisual systems. The deal hands control of a popular wedding and event hall to a faith-based operator and could reshape how often the space is available for private rentals, expos and public shows.
According to the Jacksonville Business Journal, Eleven22 signed a 10-year lease to occupy the property and plans to use it primarily for ministry-focused events. The outlet reports that the church intends to put money into upgraded audiovisual technology and to run a more consistent schedule, rather than keeping the building as a broadly open-for-rent event hall.
