Downtown Master Plan

A Vision for the Central Core District



The Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan includes the Central Core District, with a Vision that supports:
  • Year-round, self-sustaining downtown business activity that is enhanced by, but not dependent on, visitors and tourists

  • Increased residential densities to encourage downtown living in a variety of housing types that support local businesses and add value and architectural character to the area

  • Redevelopment of side streets to create more opportunities for small businesses to thrive

  • Strategically designed and conveniently located parking that serves both private business and the public

  • Creation of a more pedestrian-friendly environment along the two Federal Highways as they enter downtown from the north and south with wider sidewalks, decreased speeds and enhanced beautification

  • Improving traffic flow by converting both of the one-way pair of "bypass" streets (SE 1st Street & NE 1st Street) into two-way traffic

  • Expansion of the Old School Square campus to include a 2-acre urban park and a 550-space public parking garage

  • Infill development in the Pineapple Grove area that includes mixed use structures with a "Floribbean" character
