Boynton Beach's downtown set to host new restaurants, stores, housing
Boynton Beach is undergoing a major downtown revitalization with new mixed-use projects, including apartments, restaurants, and shops, aiming to create a live-work-play destination. Developers like Affiliated and Hyperion Group are leading construction, with Ocean One apartments and commercial spaces set to open by mid-2028, alongside other housing developments totaling 3,750 new residences." "article": "Boynton Beach is transforming its downtown into a vibrant residential and commercial hub, with multiple mixed-use projects underway. Located midway between West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, the city has historically focused on Congress Avenue and nearby housing communities. Now, developments east of Seacrest Boulevard along Boynton Beach Boulevard and Ocean Avenue are set to bring apartments, condominiums, restaurants, and shops, creating a bustling destination. The city’s population has grown to over 83,000, with 3,750 new residences either under construction or approved, primarily in downtown areas. Mayor Rebecca Shelton highlighted this momentum in her May State of the City address, while Boynton Beach Development Director Amanda Radigan emphasized the deliberate planning behind the revival. The goal is to cater to diverse income levels while fostering community spaces. One key project is Ocean One, a 3.5-acre development by Hyperion Group featuring 371 market-rate apartments and 27,000 square feet of commercial space. Construction began in late May, with completion expected by mid-2028. The complex will include a plaza with restaurants and shops, attracting residents from across Palm Beach County. Affiliated Development, a South Florida builder, is also leading The Pierce rental apartment complex downtown. CEO Jeff Burns described the area as a future live-work-play destination. Radigan noted that Boynton Beach aims to avoid becoming a luxury-focused city like West Palm Beach or Delray Beach, instead balancing affordability and amenities. The revitalization effort began over a decade ago, focusing on multifamily housing and mixed-use spaces. With Palm Beach County’s population growth, demand for rental housing in areas like Boynton Beach is expected to rise, positioning it as a competitive alternative to more high-profile cities.
