Downtown Delray Beach's famed Sopra Center on Atlantic Avenue

Atlantic Crossing, a 9-acre project featuring apartments, offices, restaurants and shops, would be located beside Veterans Park along the Intracoastal Waterway. It’s the city’s largest proposed development in terms of square footage at the moment, said city commissioner Mitch Katz.

“It’s important because it’s prime real estate on Atlantic Avenue that needs to be be developed,” he said. “I just want to see this move forward.”

Mizner Trail Golf Course back On The Market For Sale

The fairways and putting greens are still an eyesore after Developers had the green light to move forward with their plans one year ago. The area remains untouched.

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.

The Metropolitan would join several other developments aimed at attracting young professionals who want to live just off Atlantic and close to the beach.
