Around Town Project Update

Your resource for the burning question: “What are they building over there?”

Florida Power & Light’s PGA Office Center

Perhaps you’ve been traveling on I-95 and seen a large structure to the east being erected in Palm Beach Gardens. The building can be viewed from this vantage point, as well as north of PGA Boulevard. What is that? Florida Power & Light’s professional office building has gone vertical with construction! Approved preliminarily in 2013, the project will result in a 270,00 square foot, six-story building with 3-story parking garage able to withstand up to Category 5 winds. The unique building design is intentionally meant to reduce wind shear and to maximize natural light. This project is estimated to be completed in spring 2022.

Costco on Northlake Boulevard

After recently completing construction of a new 24 pump Fuel Center and parking lot improvements, Costco has now started construction on its store expansion. They expect to have this portion completed by November 2021. Right-of-way work at the intersection of Northlake Boulevard and MacArthur Boulevard is currently underway and the signal work should commence soon. The changes to the intersection will reduce wait times at the traffic light.

Downtown Palm Beach Gardens: LifeTime Fitness and More

Redevelopment of Downtown Palm Beach Gardens is underway. If you have visited this shopping center over the past several months, you have seen a lot of construction activity. Phase 1 of their efforts is the LifeTime Fitness project, a 3-story building with adjacent parking garage that will be home to a variety of health club uses and salon/spa services. This project is slated for completion in early 2022.

Phase 2 of redevelopment will see the iconic carousel relocated to the lakeside and a new interactive water feature where the carousel was previously located. Phase 3 of the project is in the review process. The development proposes a mixed-use tower with 9 stories and 174 hotel rooms that will include retail, restaurant and office space. Also proposed are 280 residential apartment units and a garage.

Alton Town Center

One of the City’s newest developments has really flourished over the last year and there is more to come. Alton Town Center, located on Donald Ross Road, has built out most of its shopping center, however construction of two of its big components is underway. From Donald Ross, you can see a large building taking shape at the front of the center. This will be a 7,225 square foot Miller’s Ale House, estimated to be completed in September 2021. To the rear of the plaza, another project is nearing completion. A 136,000 square foot Home Depot with Garden Center will be ready to welcome guests this fall, as well.
