We are excited to celebrate the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of Melissa Grove Apartments in Jacksonville, FL! This beautiful senior living community officially opened its doors on Wednesday, November 13th, and we couldn’t be prouder to have been part of its development.

Designed with comfort and community at its heart, Melissa Grove offers residents a variety of amenities, including a fitness center, an activity room with a kitchen, a movie room, an outdoor garden, a dog park, spacious and modern units, and convenient elevator access.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this project to life. Melissa Grove is more than just beautiful a place to live—it’s a home where connection and care come together.

Pinnacle is a visionary multifamily residential project designed to infuse modern living with a vibrant, playful aesthetic. The community features an enclosed central garage and offers a range of modern 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units that cater to diverse lifestyles. The architecture integrates sharp colors, particularly various shades of pink, and dynamic geometric forms to create an eye-catching urban oasis. The façade's vivid hues and unique shapes, combined with terraced balconies, create a striking visual impact. Inside, open-plan living spaces are filled with bright accents and custom-designed furniture, while sleek kitchens and spa-like bathrooms enhance functionality and style. Common areas, including a chic lobby leading to the community’s vibrant lounge, and modern club room foster social interaction and community.

​This urban luxury multifamily community is located within the small San Marco historic community in Jacksonville, Florida. The modern classic exterior takes cues from the surrounding neighborhood. Painted brick, and a high contrasting color palette using historical colors are paired with horizontal lap siding and black metal railings and windows. The spacious units are strategically located promoting access to a highly desired private pool deck, parking garage, and walkable community. The interior design of the tenant amenities mimic the modern classic design intent by utilizing historic colors, brass and black metals, and classic materials throughout. Residents have controlled access to a state of the art fitness center, club room, library and business center, dog wash, pet walk, and interior mail room. Outdoor amenities include a private pool, outdoor grills and lounge areas, fit pit, and yoga lawn. 

Group 4 Design is excited to share the 3 Aurora Awards that our incredible team has won! 2 GRAND and 1 SILVER! We are thankful for everyone involved in making it possible.

The team at Group 4 Design loves a friendly competition, especially if it's to benefit animals and the community. 

We split into 3 teams and set a high goal- gather 1000 lbs of dog food and 1000 lbs of cat food in 30 days, which would convert us into JHS Platinum Pals and help provide food for many animals in need. 

We held an internal month-long food drive, all donations coming directly from our employees, and it was beyond successful! We gathered a total of 1092.5 lbs of dog food, 1202 lbs of cat food, as well as towels, leashes, collars and toys. We later found out that during this month of May donations are being matched, so that's a DOUBLE win!

​We are thankful to have a grown into the hard-working, community oriented team that we are.

Upon drop-off, the team at JHS was extremely friendly and gave us a tour of their incredibly functional facility which takes in about 9000 animals a year, and provides the resources needed through different programs tailored to help animals and families. 

This donation was to benefit the animals at the JHS and the JHS Pet Food Bank, which is open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at their facility warehouse, located at 1817 Foster Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32216.
