Three Developers Vying for Riviera Beach Waterfront Project Rights

Riviera Beach officials have to choose between three developers who all have Riviera Beach developments under their belt. The developers have submitted proposals to build a mixed-use project on a prime Riviera Beach waterfront parcel. The coastal city’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) issued the request for the 90-acre site at 190 E. 13th St. last August.

The agency describes the proposed public-private partnership as an effort to attract new office and upscale retail tenants, as well as increased parking, to the city’s downtown core. The CRA plans to ground-lease the properties.

The request attracted Forest Development, Sonnenblick Development and Related Urban Development Group.

The three all included various combinations of condos, hotel rooms, office, retail and restaurants in their bids. This would build on Phase I, which has already added a new event center and expanded marina on the Intracoastal Waterway with watersports facilities and 140 boat slips.
