Two-tower Condominium by Integra & Huizenga – West Palm Beach 


Securing an initial approval from the city’s Planning Board, developers Integra Investments and Huizenga Holdings can move forward with their $2 billion plans for a portion of the Rybovich Marina spanning 4000 to 4300 N. Flagler Drive. The 19-acre waterfront site is approved to feature four condo towers offering a total of 660 residences, a 60,000-square-foot semi-private club, restaurants, office and retail space, crew amenities, and marine storage.

Developers are currently seeking additional approvals for two of the four condo towers planned on the 14.58-acre property. Designed by New York’s celebrated Kohn Pedersen Fox, the waterfront towers are planned to rise 34 stories with 147 units and 36 stories with 112 units, respectively. With the approval of the semi-private club, developers now plan to allow 250 non-resident memberships—a shift from the previous policy that limited access to residents only. 

Along with direct access to a waterfront pedestrian promenade, the condo will offer access to a superyacht marina, approx. 37,445 square feet of retail, 20,691 square feet of office space, 14,376 square feet of restaurants, 12,750 square feet of crew amenities, and 3,355 square feet of marine storage.

Terra & Frisbie Group’s Mega Redevelopment – Boca Raton

Terra & Frisbie Group’s Mega Redevelopment – Boca Raton


A scaled-back version of Terra and Frisbie Group’s proposed development on public land has been put on hold, as the Boca Raton City Council agreed to wait for a voter referendum before formally approving a 99-year lease. The revised plans not only add more green spaces but also reduce overall density while eliminating the hotel component.

As per the new plans, the developer duo plans to build 160 condos, 580 apartments, 80,000 square feet of retail, and 250,000 square feet of office spaces on the city-owned parcel. In terms of community benefits, the developers have proposed building a reimagined version of Memorial Park, a new city hall and community center, a World War II memorial, a new tennis center with up to 10 clay courts, a playground with banyan trees, and a new children’s museum.

We recommend reading our previous update detailing Terra and Frisbie Group’s initial plans and the community’s reaction to the mega-development.

Fort Lauderdale 

Galleria Mall Redevelopment – Fort Lauderdale


Developers GFO Investments, InSite Group, Atlas Hill Real Estate, and Prime Finance acquired the iconic Galleria Mall for $73 million this September. The partners plan to redevelop the site into a premier mixed-use destination, combining upscale shopping, dining, lifestyle, and residential components.
 

Earlier proposals by the mall’s previous owner, Keystone-Florida Holding Corporation, to build 1,900 residential units on the site were rejected twice.

Located only two blocks from the ocean, the mall presents a prime opportunity for redevelopment. Fort Lauderdale-based Adache Group Architects and EDSA, along with Atlanta-based Dwell Design Studio, are leading the design. Zoning permits a maximum building height of 150 feet and 60 units per acre.
