Chris Roog, executive director of the West Palm Beach CRA, reviewed the mixed‑use project — described in staff materials as three mixed‑use structures containing 382 rental units with substantial ground‑floor commercial space — and the amendment requested by the developer’s construction lender, Centennial Bank. Roog said the site is CRA‑owned and currently under a 50‑year lease to the developer; under the agreement the CRA will receive $174,000 plus applicable taxes from the completed project.

Roog said Centennial Bank requires several contractual changes: higher bonding for subcontractors whose contracts exceed $500,000; a modified schedule that pushes the expected completion date out by about six months (staff and the developer currently anticipate project completion in fall 2026); and an amendment to the organizational diagram to identify mezzanine and construction financing sources so the bank is noticed in the project’s organizational structure. Roog noted the general contractor reported active construction and expected a topping‑out next month for the main structure; two additional buildings are scheduled to start this summer.

Commissioners asked about unit pricing and traffic impacts. Roog said the residences “will be market rate” but the agreement requires some units be priced for workforce categories such as firefighters and teachers. Commissioner Ward asked whether Broadway would reopen during construction; Roog said he would obtain the roadway‑closure schedule for affected merchants.

Brian Seymour, a representative of Imacorp who was present, thanked CRA staff for their assistance during a “challenging” financing and construction process. The board approved Resolution 25‑22 by unanimous voice vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CRA Meeting | April 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The CRA approved a third amendment to the development and ground‑lease agreement with Imacorp for the Anchor Site at Northwood Village, allowing lender‑required financing and schedule changes for the mixed‑use project.","taxTitle","West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida","taxId",4250,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6074342,"CRA authorizes 30-day notices seeking developers for four vacant lots for affordable housing",692,581000,1273000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2984974-1092b9498bfb64af8773ee62dd4e145f&start=581&end=1273","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2984974-1092b9498bfb64af8773ee62dd4e145f/thumbnail_581000.jpg","/articles/6074342/West-Palm-Beach/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/CRA-authorizes-30-day-notices-seeking-developers-for-four-vacant-lots-for-affordable-housing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6074342-fa540a644cc6e4d9cfc8247f6db4231c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201062&Signature=o04cK1e9Hc8NZk8Z3WgHDHC9plf9J3I6I1kJSficvhni-prcrL527QKrz2dbwemz8dd-BmOBYVNPU8vZM6zeivzRu0dNYr1PWuQTA8aM3ex2gLhWb-Wu9dOLChphR3Dy~1ItMeUgPJLhgP584zlFnFEd7nk82OPKjpXQvIDieKzFTF3obiZBiBho-D7F2VAiOCAO6Zy9cwRcHm-hGD3j7HVHFiSLK7fUOKMVWPCRJh5K9PLVob4lPv2~HnzDWHT7-ayC4DZQCFPN-3o5W45ksDuA2yI0kfIrhJVpFAOCpNALDDDevHrK3QFn2qiyceniustz4slhHDFmrBBO8ffv0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of West Palm Beach unanimously approved resolutions to publish 30‑day notices of intent to dispose of four CRA‑owned vacant lots and solicit proposals for affordable housing development.

Kelsey King, CRE project manager, presented Resolution 25‑13 for the lot at 519 LA Kirksy Street (also identified as Fifteenth Street). King said the parcel was purchased by the agency in February 2006, is about 0.14 acres (just over 6,000 square feet), is currently vacant and zoned MF‑14 (multifamily low density). King told commissioners that the CRA will seek proposals prioritizing increased homeownership and affordable housing; under state law staff said the agency must publish a 30‑day notice of intent to dispose under section 163.3803(a), Florida Statutes. King said the CRA expects qualifying buyers to be in the 60–100% area median income (AMI) range and gave an example construction cost “around 400,000” that, when combined with land donation and subsidies, could produce a roughly $300,000 purchase price for a home.

The board approved Resolution 25‑13 by voice vote. The motion carried unanimously.

Project manager Gina Baker presented related notices for three Northwest historic‑district parcels under Resolutions 25‑14, 25‑15 and 25‑16: 401 Division Avenue (vacant corner lot near Friendship Baptist Church and close to the Fantasy Island project), 639 Fourth Street (across from St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church and near Fantasy Island) and 631 Sixth Street (adjacent to Styx Promenade). Baker said these lots are part of a portfolio the agency acquired around 2010 and described the intent as infill affordable housing. She said proposals will be evaluated for developers’ ability to prequalify prospective buyers and to navigate the city’s historic‑preservation review; she also said there may be opportunities for accessory dwelling units on some parcels, but the properties do not carry MF‑14 or MF‑20 density designations that would allow larger multifamily buildings.

Baker said staff expects the notices to be published immediately and remain for about 30 days with a deadline around May 20; staff plans to return to the board with recommendations by the June 9 meeting and, if selected, to have a purchase and sale agreement executed by July 7. Baker said the target affordability level for these historic‑district parcels is approximately 80% AMI.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about price limits, allowable unit types and whether prospective developers have been preselected. King and Baker said no development partners have been identified; staff explained an unsolicited proposal triggered the Kirksy notice but that the agency had not committed to that proposer and is following the statutory notice process.

The board approved Resolutions 25‑14, 25‑15 and 25‑16 by a single motion and a unanimous voice vote.

Swimmer said a pilot food-tour partnership, West Palm Beach Food Tours’ Taste of Northwood Village, had aimed to sell 50 tickets and “ended up selling almost a hundred tickets.” The CRA also reported 27 completed event surveys, 42 new CRA newsletter sign-ups and that most survey respondents said they learned about the event through social media. According to the presentation, on average participants were in the 40–49 age range and reported visiting the area about once a month.

The survey results indicated limited familiarity with the CRA and Northwood Village projects, and a majority of respondents said they would like to see mixed‑use development in the area. Swimmer described outreach tools used at the event — informational tables with QR codes to sign up for the CRA newsletter, an Eventbrite listing, radio advertising and social posts — and noted staff made the survey available on the Eventbrite page after a suggestion from the mayor.

President Lambert and Commissioner Ward both praised the event. Commissioner Ward said he “appreciated the work that was put in” and was pleased to see “a lot more people in attendance.” President Lambert said she wanted to “find opportunities to help educate in a fun and engaging way that people might remember,” reflecting the survey finding that many attendees wanted more information about the CRA and local projects.

Swimmer said staff intends to continue the marketing push; the next Nights in Northwood Village is scheduled for Friday, June 13, with a tropical‑paradise theme.

The presentation focused on outreach and community engagement rather than on board action; no formal CRA decision or vote stemmed from the recap.","The West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency reported results from the March “Nights in Northwood Village” event, including attendance increases, a pilot food tour that nearly doubled its ticket goal and survey results showing low local familiarity with CRA projects.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6074334,"CRA moves $2.75 million from reserves to cover policing, tenant improvements and historic‑preservation work",334,2012000,2346000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2984974-1092b9498bfb64af8773ee62dd4e145f&start=2012&end=2346","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2984974-1092b9498bfb64af8773ee62dd4e145f/thumbnail_2012000.jpg","/articles/6074334/West-Palm-Beach/Palm-Beach-County/Florida/CRA-moves-275-million-from-reserves-to-cover-policing-tenant-improvements-and-historicpreservation-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6074334-1fd919c31aaddc84622dd66dacc30345/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201062&Signature=ZzZW2yFzPg~vBB6nKuggQr8RdNj8jl8CCdjTLihoh8W49~Xm98n7FuYT5TkNop-Sl9l1TIXDdQuVn5dRfuCC7YhV0lmJpsPPPKjPDFi09sA5anMRogJSAXcjWxxds232ejHcWRp5dW9FcV2bym2DlMaO2x-7w9oI~YUQqawPRR6jlP5wI0kq~uWzoRCaGBpvDYy066VHta53z~AGDVFV5F9eZeJlwOlg2ubqut~kiftQhvenwygzBU9ySGQIIzvwppUGwEi5U2fKTSUZILtZdbDrFEiLQZs2dZV-H6jB7~k7IXULdjO6oj9fFhKHAhzU03R1DE8XO3eCFm1q6izVAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Community Redevelopment Agency approved a mid‑year budget adjustment to transfer $2,748,601 from reserves for future projects to meet identified funding needs for current initiatives.

Jade Green, deputy director with the CRA, presented Resolution 25‑23F and outlined recommended transfers from two funds. For Fund 105 staff proposed a total transfer of $2,290,000 from reserves to cover administrative increases including an innovative policing initiative (bike unit officers), an arbitrage rebate payment and additional funding tied to the 415 Clematis project — staff said $1,000,000 of that line is intended for tenant improvements and brokerage/leasing expenses. Green described the 213 South Rosemary Avenue project (the Hibiscus House historic‑preservation effort) as a larger undertaking estimated to be “about over $10,000,000,” and said the CRA’s $750,000 allocation is intended as a first‑half payment in partnership with Related; staff said a formal agreement would return to the board in the next few months.

For Fund 107 staff recommended a transfer of $458,182 that reconciles a line of credit associated with a recent property purchase at 5701 Broadway Boulevard; the transfer corrects prior accounting entries, Green said, and does not create additional net spending beyond the purchase already executed.

Green summarized that the combined transfer across the two funds equals $2,748,601 and that Fund 105’s reserves remain positive after the adjustment. The board approved Resolution 25‑23F by unanimous voice vote.

Staff noted that brokerage costs and tenant improvements for 415 Clematis are expected to be recovered through lease payments once tenants are in place, and that the Hibiscus House project will be the subject of a future agreement returned to the board.","The CRA approved Resolution 25‑23F to transfer $2,748,601 from reserves for future projects to cover administrative increases including police wages, arbitrage rebate and grants and to fund tenant improvements and an initial payment for the Hibiscus House preservation project.","actionData","errors"]
