209-217 N. Seacrest Boulevard Block Redevelopment Project

• PROJECT LOCATION: 209 and 217 N. Seacrest Boulevard
• BBCRA DISTRICT: Boynton Beach Boulevard
• BBCRA FUNDING:
  • ACQUISITION: $3,000,000

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The BBCRA acquired the two story office building located at 209 N. Seacrest Boulevard in October 2020 for the amount of $1,400,000. In addition, the BBCRA purchased the adjacent property located at 217 N. Seacrest Boulevard in February 2023 which is currently home to the Downtown Boynton Beach U.S. Post Office.

On October 25, 2022, the BBCRA was awarded $81,820 in funding from the Solid Waste Authority’s Blighted and Distressed Property Clean-up and Beautification Grant Program (Grant). In June 2023, the Grant funded the demolition of the structure at 209 N. Seacrest Boulevard. Due to the current property conditions with a non-confirming use and ongoing maintenance issues, it was too cost prohibitive to repair or update the structure to comply with life safety codes.

It is the intent of the BBCRA to utilize these two parcels to support future commercial or mixed-use redevelopment project.
