November 11, 2026 // Franchising.com // JACKSONVILLE, FL – Intelligent Office, a leading provider of flexible workplace solutions that integrate seamlessly with small-business and startup teams, will open a new location at 8780 Perimeter Park Court, Building 100, in Jacksonville’s Southside. Targeted to open in March 2027, the 6,632-square-foot space will be owned and operated by Jacksonville residents Frank and Teri Burnell and their sons, Kevin and Jason.
“We are not simply opening a business; we are bringing to life a vision that God placed in our hearts and made possible through His faithful provision,” said Teri Burnell. “Our desire is to steward this opportunity well by creating a place where entrepreneurs, professionals and growing businesses can establish their presence, build meaningful connections and confidently pursue what is possible. This investment reflects our belief in Jacksonville’s future and in the people whose gifts, ideas and contributions will help shape it.”
The new Intelligent Office will feature 12 private offices along with meeting space, virtual office solutions, a professional business address, mail services, and personalized administrative and phone services. The family-owned, freestanding building will be transformed from a single-tenant office into a flexible, light-filled work environment designed to offer members easy access, privacy and a professional setting. Solar panels will also supply electricity to the building.
Situated in Jacksonville’s Southside, the location offers convenient access to I-95 and J. Turner Butler Boulevard and is located within a business park that includes multiple businesses and two hotels. The property will also offer on-site parking spaces for member convenience.
The Burnell family brings a range of professional backgrounds to the business. Teri, a pharmacist turned healthcare executive, retired from her position as Senior Vice President at a major healthcare company in 2024. Frank previously worked as a college basketball coach, while Kevin’s experience includes roles as an auto insurance adjuster and Unit Director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida. Jason is a professional basketball player who competes internationally in the Italian League and EuroLeague.
The Burnells will be heavily involved in the location’s day-to-day operations. For the family, opening Intelligent Office represents an opportunity to combine their varied professional experiences while establishing a stronger presence in the Jacksonville business community.
“We understand the people flexible workspaces serve because our family has experience across corporate environments, remote work and a variety of professional settings,” said Kevin Burnell. “We wanted to create a place that combines the professionalism of a corporate office with the flexibility people increasingly expect and the connection of a supportive business community.”
