Condos proposed for downtown Delray SofA District

Posted by Brian Pearl on May 11th, 2015

Upscale condos could be headed to Delray Beach's up-and-coming SOFA district — if the city bends some of its downtown development rules. On Tuesday, commissioners will consider approving plans for a 48-unit condo called The Metropolitan, which would include shops, office space and a public plaza. The 5-story building would be built on the northeast corner of Southeast Third Avenue and Southeast First Street in an area marketed by the nickname SOFA, for its location south of the city's bustling Atlantic Avenue. City officials are branding SOFA as the city's newest urban neighborhood. The Metropolitan would join several other developments aimed at attracting young professionals who want to live just off Atlantic and close to the beach.

Posted by Brian Pearl on February 16th, 2015

Known as one of America’s best home builders, GL Homes has been atop the residential new construction industry since it was first established in 1976. Recently however, GL Homes has been at the top of their game with the highly successful Canyon communities and the Valencia active adult communities.  GL Homes currently has operations in four Florida counties including Palm Beach, Collier, Lee and Hillsborough, although there may be no better showcase of GL Homes' fantastic developments than right here in Palm Beach County, Florida. As the second largest county in the state, as well as the wealthiest as of 2004, it seems to make sense why GL Homes and various other home builders have such a strong presence here, and given its desirable waterfront…

Delray Beach's Old Library Will Be An iPic Theater

Posted by Brian Pearl on September 25th, 2014

Redevelopment of Downtown Core Business District – Fourth & Fifth Avenues Site (formerly known as the Old Library Site)

Location: South of E. Atlantic Avenue, between SE 4th and 5th Avenues
Developer: Delray Beach Holdings, Inc. (iPic Entertainment)

In February 2013, the CRA issued another RFP to redevelop the site. In August, 2013, the CRA Board awarded the RFP to Delray Beach Holdings,…

Posted by Brian Pearl on June 11th, 2014

An under developed resource located north of Delray Beach's historic will see new life soon. The 12-acre lot containing a dilapidated train station is slated for development as a family-friendly, 284-apartment complex. Incentives for the community include plans for a cyber cafe, fitness center, and bicycle repair shop.

A wildflower garden occupies the 12-acre field near Delray's historic train station. After disagreements in the early 1990s the historic former Seaboard Air Line Railway depot, located a few blocks north, was…

Seagate Yacht Club Plans to Be Rebuilt

Posted by Brian Pearl on April 20th, 2014

Plans to rebuild the Seagate Yacht Club are drawing positive response from coastal residents south of Atlantic Avenue. The owners of the nearby Seagate Hotel and Spa want to build 10 luxury townhouses and a three-story clubhouse at the existing 44-slip marina on MacFarlane Drive.

The clubhouse got scrutiny at a March 17 meeting of the Planning and Zoning Board, where the developer agreed to a neighborhood request to close the clubhouse at 10 p.m. on weeknights and midnight on weekends. No music on the rooftop sunbathing terrace will be another restriction.

But the developer submitted favorable comments from 200 neighbors who say the new yacht club with its distinctive contemporary design will benefit their neighborhood. City commissioners must…
