NEW LANTANA WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT APPROVED


NEW LANTANA WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT APPROVED

I think I might have written about this once, but that was prior to final approval. Since this project is now fully approved it is worth mentioning. This is not just another run of the mill development or redevelopment, as has become so commonplace in South Florida these days. No, this is a 10 acre waterfront site, one that has been dormant for 50 years. The site has been owned and operated by Cenacle Sisters Catholic community. It is the last remaining large tract of undeveloped waterfront land in Palm Beach County (the largest, in Riviera Beach, is already slated for development/redevelopment). The Lantana site will be transformed into a mixed use development that will feature 244 residential units, office and retail space. In all, 4 buildings will be built along with covered parking garages. As you have noticed, I really love these types of stories. I enjoy change, and right now there is an awful lot taking place with respect to real estate. I find it exciting to see entire towns transformed by these projects, and I love to learn about them and let you know about them. The place where we all live is quickly being changed, and I think it is for the better. This is a perfect example of that, despite all the trouble the developers had from the city in getting it approved. Congrats to Lantana, I am very glad you were finally able to get this deal done. Soon there will be a new development on South Dixie Highway that they can all be proud of. As always thanks for reading and have a great day.
