Warehouse complex west of Delray hailed as 'game changer' for Palm Beach County's economy

Palm Beach County commissioners put shovels into the ground Thursday, May 30 to launch The Park at Delray, a $121 million warehouse project to be built on what once was a nursery in the Agricultural Reserve off State Road 7 west of Delray Beach.

"This is a game changer," said County Commissioner Gregg Weiss, praising BBX Logistics Properties for developing a project that meets a need in the region's economy. He also praised the builder for a design that minimizes negative impacts on the surrounding area.

BBX, based in Fort Lauderdale, has already cleared nearly 40 acres in preparation for three large warehouse buildings, each about 200,000 square feet. Also planned are nearly 700 parking spaces. The initial building will front State Road 7, from which access to the project will be. A bridge will be built over a Lake Worth Drainage District canal to make that happen.
