In April 2017, ESJ acquired Jungle Island, an iconic 18.6-acre attraction park on Watson Island, minutes from Downtown Miami and South Beach, for $73M. ESJ's strategy is to unlock the full development potential of this irreplaceable waterfront site by transforming it into a large-scale mixed-use destination.
In partnership with Terra Group, and following Miami voter approval in November 2024, ESJ secured rezoning to allow up to 48 stories, 600 residential units, and approximately 2.87M SF of total development floor area, a landmark entitlement milestone that brings the project closer to groundbreaking.
In parallel, the park continues to operate and generate revenue, providing cash flow while the development plan is finalized. Jungle Island represents one of ESJ's most transformative and high-conviction long-term investments.
