Bryan Moll is the CEO of Gateway Jax in Jacksonville, a local real estate investment and development company.
Bryan has over 20 years of real estate development experience across multiple asset classes, specializing in large-scale, mixed-use projects. He has entitled, designed, capitalized and/or constructed over $6 billion in stabilized value in multiple jurisdictions, including in the Tampa, FL and Washington, DC metro areas.
Prior to Gateway Jax, Bryan was an Executive Vice President for JBG Smith where he led a team overseeing numerous mixed-use development projects in the Washington, DC area. He was primarily focused on National Landing in Arlington County, VA, adjacent to Amazon’s HQ2. When fully built out, JBG Smith’s portfolio in National Landing will include over 5,000 multifamily units, 200,000 square feet of retail and more than 500,000 square feet of trophy, class-A office space.
In addition to National Landing, Bryan also oversaw the master planning, entitlement, and design of the Gallaudet project in Washington, DC’s Union Market submarket. This approximately $700 million project will deliver over 1,500 multifamily units and 100,000 square feet of retail across three city blocks in a unique partnership with Gallaudet University, the nation’s largest deaf and hard-of-hearing university.
Prior to JBG Smith, Bryan was the Executive Vice President for SPP in Tampa, FL. SPP is the owner and developer of Water Street Tampa, a $3.5 billion development in downtown Tampa.
Bryan assembled and managed a team responsible for the entitlement, design, capitalization, and construction of its first phase, including 1,325 units in four buildings, 360,000 square feet of trophy office space, 175,000 square feet of retail, restaurant, and amenity space, and 800, 4- and 5-star hotel keys in two separately flagged buildings.
Bryan received his bachelor's degree in Planning and Environmental Design at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and he remains an avid Buffs fan. He and his husband, Matt, have been married for 8 years. Together they reside with their dog Bailey, whom they rescued 11 years ago. Bryan and Matt actively support Feeding America programs, along with Habitat for Humanity and other local community programs focused on improving people’s lives via the built environment.
About Cuppa Jax:
Cuppa Jax holds gatherings for neighborhood and community leaders that are open to everyone in Jacksonville. Join us on Wednesday mornings in Riverplace Tower on the Southbank to discuss important issues facing our city.
Scheduled speakers will talk for 10-15 minutes. The rest of the time is spent with Q&A and discussion of relevant issues brought up by participants. We also encourage attendees to make community announcements at the beginning of the program.
Some important things to note
No membership fee. Unlike many other discussion forums in Jacksonville, there is no membership fee to attend or participate in Cuppa Jax. We do ask attendees to cover the cost of coffee and breakfast provided by Village Bread Cafe. If you cannot attend due to the cost of the event, please email [email protected] with a request for a scholarship and we will be glad to cover your ticket.
Topical and timely. We are seeking local thought leaders who can discuss and educate about important community issues to speak at future dates. We don’t accept offers to speak about or pitch organizations. Cuppa Jax is non-partisan, and does not endorse candidates or issues. An offer to speak does not constitute an endorsement. It's simply an opportunity for the community to have a meaningful discussion.
