Key Market Findings
Demographics (2000-2013)

Very strong population growth in Palm Beach County:
1.3 million residents
 Population increased by 214,500 in 72,700 new HHs

Delray Beach: 61,800 residents
 Added 1,780 residents = 820 HHs
 Limited growth next 5 years: 855 residents in <300
HHs

Since 2000, Boca, Boynton & West Palm growing
significantly faster than Delray (9,700 to 21,000 new
residents)

Study area’s population stable; new housing will add
new residents

Compared to City, the study area:
 More affluent (annual HH incomes of $79,600 vs.
$66,600)
 Spend more on retail ($20,700 vs. $17,500)
 Spend more on Food & Beverage ($6,700 vs. $5,700)
 Has fewer unoccupied & vacant housing units
Key Market Findings
Economic Profile

619,000 jobs in Palm Beach
County
 Economy in recovery from 2007—
2009 recession (49,500 jobs lost)
 20,200 new jobs created past 3
years
 Strongest job growth in Professional
Services, Health Care; mirrors
national trends

Delray Beach contains 34,700
jobs: 6% of County
 Jobs-to-population ratio: 0.58
 45% of jobs in Services; 27% in
Retail
 19% of all jobs in Retail sector are in
restaurants
Key Market Findings
Economic Profile

Job growth is a critical barometer
of demand for ‘workplace’ real
estate: commercial office, retail,
industrial parks, etc.
 State forecasts: 83,700 new jobs
in Palm Beach County (2013 –
2021)
 5,000 new jobs in Delray if City
maintains its current share
 Citywide HH retail spending
(demand) vs. retailer sales
(supply):
 $489 million vs. $523 million
 Reflects in-flow of visitors to
Delray, strength of downtown
 Can HH sales (“opportunity gap”)
in specific categories be
recaptured?
Key Market Findings
Housing Market Performance

Delray Beach housing inventory:
 34,100 units (38% single-family; 52% multi-family)
 8,200+ unoccupied units reflects heavy seasonal
occupancy
 “True Vacancy” (i.e., empty & available) is low: 6.5%,
suggesting stabilized occupancies
 Median value: $141,000 (study area: $224,200)
 Annual housing starts (2005-2013):
 Palm Beach County: 4,800 units per year (62% singlefamily)
 Delray Beach: 255 units per year (61% multi-family)
 Confirms market-response to moderate-density product
such as stacked-flats
 Multi-family rental trends:
 Higher rents achieved in Delray than Boynton ($1.57
PSF vs. $1.07 PSF)
 Higher vacancy rates in Delray than Boynton (9.8% vs.
3.9%)
 All comparables defined by industry as “Class A” quality
Key Market Findings
Office & Retail Market Performance

Delray Beach office inventory (2006-2013):
 2.9 million SF in 301 buildings; comprises mix of “garden” buildings & industrystandard suburban office parks
 Accounts for 12% of County’s 24 million SF inventory
 Overall vacancies have jumped since 2006: from 8% to 26.5%
 Significant challenges of negative absorption (leasing): (677,000) SF vacated
since 2006
 Office Depot HQs relocation to Boca responsible for weakened market statistics
 Job growth in office-using sectors is critical

Delray Beach retail inventory (2013):
 3.9 million SF in multiple property types
 Accounts for 9% of County’s 44.4 million SF inventory
 239,000 SF of net absorption in 2013

Key Market Findings
Hotel Market Performance

Delray Beach hotel supply:
 887 rooms in 7 properties (as defined
by STR): comprises 6.5% share of
County’s 13,600+ rooms
 Inventory includes 95-room Fairfield
Inn under construction
 Since 2010, annual occupancies have
fluctuated between 58% & 70%
 4-year average occupancies:
64.9%, suggests roomnight demand
is at threshold for financing new
construction (65% to 72%)
 Colony Hotel & Crane’s Beach Hotel
do not report performance to STR
 Solid annual growth in average daily
rates (ADRs): $127 (2010) to $145
(2014)
What We Heard
Stakeholder Interviews
 Study area lacks identity/brand; does not benefit from economic
engine & strong identity of downtown
 Land uses characteristic of aging, low-density suburban commercial
corridors in south Florida
 In transition:
 Land values increasing due to proximity to downtown
 Private investment in high-quality residential
 Difficult to attract commercial re-investment at current low rents
 Values driven by perceived future uses
 ‘Hot button’ issues: increasing residential densities; introduction of
rental housing (turnover)
 Largest contiguous parcels are all auto-oriented uses
 How to capture spending from high-income HHs (e.g., Gulf Stream)
What We Heard
Stakeholder Interviews
 Desire for independent, “boutique” retail in walkable district
 Narrow lot depths, fragmented ownership/parcel assemblage, adjacent
rail line complicate development
 Challenges of current densities/zoning:
 Will not support significant retail
 Precludes ‘Pineapple Grove-type’ development (i.e., surface parking
required)
 Costs of structured parking too high w/o additional revenues
 Is there opportunity to ‘cluster’ new retail (e.g., at George Bush Blvd.)?
 How can public improvements & other public policies be used to:
 Enhance marketability
 Generate private commercial investment
 Create pedestrian-friendly areas?
Key Market Findings
Market Directions
Retail & Food Service
 Success of Atlantic Avenue has created strong regional destination & identity
 Challenges of maintaining specialty retail in a strong food & beverage market,
higher rents
 Study area retail potentials:
 Affected by distance & quality of pedestrian space
 Width of North Federal Highway limits easy creation of walkable retail environment
 Limited residential densities cannot support walkable retail cluster on its own
 Significant competitive environment & higher densities in Boynton Beach
 Transitional uses characteristic of South Florida commercial strips
 Several buildings worthy of preservation & re-use; “character-giving”
Key Market Findings
Market Directions
Market-rate Housing

Forecasts suggest limited near-term population & HH growth

Near-term demand likely captured by planned projects (e.g., ZOM)

Transitional land uses in study area suggest opportunities for moderatedensity infill residential development & selected mixed-use

Parcel size, ownership priorities & consolidation potential affect opportunities
for multi-family housing

Increased residential densities will be critical to support new retail in study
area:
 Each new resident = 4 to 7 SF
 Each new office worker = 2 to 5 SF
 Each visitor = 0.5 to 1.5 SF
Key Market Findings
Market Directions
Professional Office/Business Services
 State (DEO) employment forecasts suggest near-term growth:
 Retail/Food Service
 Professional Services & Finance/Insurance & Real Estate
 Job growth in office-using sectors critical to generating near-term demand
 If 2,000 of 5,000 new jobs are office-using = 400,000 SF
 Current office vacancies = 793,000 SF
 Current zoning in most of Delray Beach (& study area) restricts higher-density
office development
 Suggests small-scale “garden” product & tenant mix
 Limited market potentials in the near-term (3 to 5 years)
Key Market Findings
Market Directions
Hotel/Lodging
 Sustained annual occupancies meet
threshold required by capital markets for
financing new construction (65% to 72%)
 Fairfield Inn may delay near-term
feasibility of new hotel in study area
 Key planning question:
 Where is best location for future hotel
product in Delray Beach?
 Locational characteristics that enhance
marketability (e.g., Hyatt Place, Fairfield)
 Future feasibility studies will be required
to warrant conventional financing &
determine product type (i.e., business vs.
leisure)
Next Steps
 Solicit public feedback tonight & continue stakeholder outreach
 Estimate potential market demand by use & range (e.g., low/high)
 Suggest potential phasing & development strategies
 Consider linkages to downtown (e.g., branding/marketing, land uses)
 Consider both natural market growth & “induced” markets
 Prepare draft Market Study report by 9/15 for CRA review
 Submit final Market Study report by 9/30
