Village Place Project

Village Place Project Overview

The Village Place Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a long-anticipated project designed to revitalize the former Twin City Mall site, located at the southwest corner of U.S. Highway 1 and Northlake Boulevard, extending south to Palmetto Drive. This 13.15-acre site in North Palm Beach has a commercial future land use designation and C-3 zoning, which supports mixed-use development within a walkable, connected environment.

History of the Site

Once a bustling retail destination, the Twin City Mall opened in 1971 with over 30 stores, including J.M. Fields, Sears, and a movie theater with the area’s first automated projection system. However, after the closure of major tenants in the late 1980s and the opening of the Gardens Mall, Twin City Mall began to decline. Redevelopment efforts have been in discussion since the 1990s, with several plans proposed but never realized. Portions of the site were eventually redeveloped into the Northlake Promenade Shoppes (Lake Park side) and the Village Shoppes (North Palm Beach side).

About the Proposed Village Place Development

The new Village Place Master Plan divides the site into four parcels and proposes a thoughtfully designed mixed-use development with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.75. The plan allows for a mix of mid-rise and high-rise buildings, with the tallest (up to 14 stories) located in the interior of the property to take advantage of water views. The project also includes 1.08 acres of civic and open space, exceeding the minimum requirement, with the potential for a park, plaza, courtyard, or playground.
