$200M Villages of Delray Moves Forward

DELRAY BEACH, FL-Phase one of a plan to replace the hurricane-destroyed Carver Estates with a mixed-income development gains approval.

By Marita Thomas | Updated on December 07, 2007

[IMGCAP(1)]DELRAY BEACH, FL-The city’s Site Plan Review and Appearance Board has approved the opening phase of Villages of Delray . The development is a public/private partnership between the Delray Beach Housing Authority and the locally based Auburn Development Group and projected to cost $200 million.

The mixed-income community of rental and for-sale housing will be located on the site of the former Carver Estates, a public housing community that was severely damaged by Hurricane Wilma in October 2005 and has since been abandoned. After selecting Auburn as the master developer, DBHA conveyed the 18-acre site to the partnership, and Auburn donated an adjacent 11 acres. The Villages of Delray land lies east of Interstate 95, between Linton Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue.

The full plan calls for approximately 326 for-sale housing units in a mix of townhouses and condos, and about 264 rental units along with three community facilities of about 4,500 sf each, dispersed throughout the development. Kelvin Crockett of DBHA tells GlobeSt.com that phase one, the for-sale component of the development, has been approved and the bid for demolition of the existing buildings has been awarded.
