A deed has been filed with the Duval County Clerk of Courts for the property IKEA is buying on Jacksonville's Southside to build a new store.

IKEA bought the land from HE Otter LLC and HE Shoulda Investments Property, Inc. for $13 million, according to the deed recorded on the Clerk of Court's website on Tuesday.

The store will be built on 25 acres at the northwest corner of Gate Parkway and Interstate 295.

The 294,000-square-foot IKEA will bring about 250 new jobs to Jacksonville when it opens in the fall of 2017.

The Swedish home furnishings retailer has 41 stores in the United States, including four in Florida in Orlando, Tampa, Sunrise and Sweetwater.

The Jacksonville store will include a 100-foot tall sign. The city gave the company the go-ahead for the large sign in January after proposals were announced in October.
