Structures & Configuration
The front building faces Swinton Avenue directly and contains 936 square feet organized across four private offices, a shared conference room, and one bathroom. Five on-site parking spaces serve this structure. The rear building, accessed via a rear alleyway, offers 684 square feet with an open office workspace accommodating multiple desks, one private office, a kitchenette, a storage closet, and one bathroom. Four dedicated parking spaces are accessed independently from the alley, allowing the two structures to operate as entirely separate units if needed.
Zoning & Development Context
OSSHAD zoning in Delray Beach is one of the more flexible overlays in southern Palm Beach County, accommodating professional offices, retail, restaurants, galleries, and residential uses depending on the specific conditional-use approvals. The 0.23-acre lot with dual structures and nine total parking spaces is notable for this corridor; parking is chronically constrained along Swinton and Atlantic, and on-site spaces carry real operational value. Owners considering redevelopment should note that OSSHAD parcels are subject to the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Board's review process, which governs demolition, new construction, and exterior modifications within the district.
Location & Access
The property's position on N Swinton Avenue provides high visibility along one of downtown Delray's primary north-south corridors. Atlantic Avenue, the commercial spine of the city, is a short walk south. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately 20 miles north, a 30-minute drive outside peak hours via I-95. The Brightline station in Delray Beach is less than a mile west, providing direct rail access to West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami.
