The vibrant construction scene in Boynton Beach reflects significant growth and development.
Boynton Beach is experiencing a remarkable rise in construction projects and real estate activity, driven by significant investments and transformative developments. The District, a major industrial project, is set to redefine the area with diverse facilities, while commercial real estate, exemplified by the Cross Creek Center sale, is showing substantial appreciation. Despite growth, the health care sector faces urgent challenges at Oasis Health Facility, raising concerns about resident safety. As the market evolves, opportunities abound amidst these challenges.
Boynton Beach is witnessing significant developments in the construction sector, marked by ambitious projects and noteworthy real estate transactions. A recent influx of investments is setting the stage for a boom in economic activity and growth in the region.
The highlight of Boynton Beach’s construction scene is The District, an expansive 500,000 square foot industrial project that recently secured a substantial $73.5 million loan from BMO Bank. The developers, a joint venture of Butters and Jon Channing, acquired adjacent properties for $29.75 million in 2024, subsequently changing the zoning from agricultural to a commerce center. This project symbolizes a shift towards promoting industrial and commercial use in the area.
Featuring a diverse mix of buildings, The District will include seven structures ranging from 20,000 to 125,483 square feet and a 140,000-square-foot self-storage facility. Tenants scheduled to occupy the site comprise various recreational and sports facilities including American Twisters Gymnastics, a group of indoor padel courts, and spaces dedicated to indoor tennis and pickleball. Not only does the project aim to attract large scale tenants, but it also includes small bay warehouses starting at 2,500 square feet. With the anticipation of the first buildings being ready by June 2026, The District is set to redefine the industrial landscape of Boynton Beach.
In addition to industrial growth, commercial real estate is also thriving in Boynton Beach. The Cross Creek Center, a retail center established in 1988 and renovated in 2014, recently changed hands for $16.3 million. This notable price is in sharp contrast to its previous sale of $5.5 million in 2005, reflecting substantial appreciation in commercial property values within the region.
Occupying 97% of its space, Cross Creek Center boasts a diverse roster of tenants that includes Stanton Optical and a UPS Store. The transaction was facilitated by Janoura Realty, who sold the property to Phillips Edison & Co. (PECO), a reputable real estate investment trust focused on shopping center ownership and development.
Reports indicate the alarming discovery of over 25 live roaches within food items and on kitchenware. Moreover, it was highlighted that deficiencies previously noted had not been addressed for over six months, igniting concerns over the management’s capability to ensure the health and safety of its 78 residents.
Oasis is owned by 428 HealthCare, with its CEO contesting the allegations made by AHCA, arguing for the facility’s management consistency. However, the ongoing scrutiny over its pest control management continues to raise alarms about the well-being of residents.
Boynton Logistics Center, comprising nearly 200,000 square feet across three buildings, was recently sold for $36.5 million to Venture One Real Estate. This sale showcases an increase over its $25.85 million acquisition in 2020, demonstrating strong market interest in industrial parks.
The Boynton Logistics Center features amenities such as dock-high loading and exceptional clear heights ranging from 30 to 36 feet. Notably, the industrial vacancy rate in Palm Beach County is currently at 4.3%, with even lower rates of 1.7% within the Boynton Beach submarket, emphasizing a robust demand for industrial space.
Through both challenging circumstances in public health and opportunities in construction and real estate, Boynton Beach continues to evolve. With a mix of investment, development, and management issues, the area’s future remains dynamic as residents and investors navigate new opportunities.
