Built in 2018, this free-standing Art Deco-inspired commercial building sits one block north of Atlantic Avenue in the Central Business District of Delray Beach, totaling 6,364 square feet across two levels on 0.31 acres with 15 on-site parking spaces.
Built in 2018, this free-standing Art Deco-inspired commercial building sits one block north of Atlantic Avenue in the Central Business District of Delray Beach, totaling 6,364 square feet across two levels on 0.31 acres with 15 on-site parking spaces.
Building & Configuration
The ground floor is configured with a full commercial kitchen and a café or soda fountain layout, suited for food-and-beverage or retail use. A new commercial elevator connects both levels, and the building is equipped with a backup generator, fire sprinkler system, and an owned security system. Central air conditioning is zoned across the structure.
The second floor contains 2,336 square feet of unfinished space. This represents a significant expansion opportunity, whether as additional leasable area, office space, or a residential conversion, subject to CBD zoning allowances. The existing business will relocate upon sale, delivering the property vacant.
Zoning & Development Context
CBD zoning in Delray Beach permits a wide range of commercial uses, including retail, restaurant, office, and mixed-use configurations. Investors should note that the 0.31-acre parcel is large by downtown Delray standards, where most commercial lots along the Atlantic Avenue corridor are narrower and lack dedicated parking. Fifteen on-site spaces are a material advantage in a district where parking is consistently constrained.
The 2018 construction date means the building was designed to current Florida Building Code, including wind-load and flood-zone requirements, reducing the capital expenditure burden that older CBD properties in this corridor typically carry. Buyers evaluating air rights and additional density should consult the City's Land Development Regulations for the CBD district, which may permit vertical additions depending on FAR and height restrictions along NE 5th Avenue.
Location & Access
Atlantic Avenue, one block south, is the primary commercial and dining corridor in Delray Beach, drawing consistent foot traffic year-round. The property's position on NE 5th Avenue provides visibility from both the avenue and the surrounding residential neighborhoods to the north. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately 20 minutes north via I-95, and Boca Raton is 15 minutes south. The Brightline station in Delray Beach is within walking distance, connecting directly to West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami.
