Current Status

The Village Council has not approved a Master Plan consistent with Village Code, effectively pausing progress on the Village Place project.

While the Council approved a conceptual layout, no entitlements were granted — meaning no approvals exist for building height, use, or density.

Without entitlements, no development rights are established — nothing can move forward.

No Plan = No Certainty

Without a Master Site Plan with entitlements, neither the Village, residents, nor the developer have a clear roadmap.
This uncertainty delays investment, construction, and community benefits.

Entitlements Create Predictability & Transparency

Entitlements define project parameters up front — height, density, design, and community amenities — creating a transparent and enforceable process.
They ensure accountability to both the Village and its residents, enabling projects to be delivered as promised and on schedule.

Economic and Community Benefits

The 13-acre redevelopment of the former Twin City Mall into Village Place would transform the property at U.S. 1 and Northlake Boulevard.
Plans include hundreds of residential units, retail and restaurant spaces – the goal is to drive new economic activity, generate tax revenue, create new jobs, and ultimately help lower taxes for residents.
Residents have voiced that the area is in decline; redevelopment would help raise property values, modernize infrastructure, and bring vitality back to the corridor.

After initial discussions, the Council added 37 additional conditions to the project, creating confusion and new limitations.

The developer is seeking to remove those restrictions and restore a clear, code-consistent approval process.

Governance & Business Confidence

Predictable, transparent entitlement processes are essential for maintaining investor and community confidence.

Inconsistent or arbitrary conditions create uncertainty that can discourage future investment in North Palm Beach.

Opportunity Lost

Every delay postpones construction, job creation, housing availability, and local spending — at a time when South Florida faces rising demand and infrastructure needs.

A Path Forward

The solution is a code-compliant Master Plan with entitlements — ensuring that growth is responsible, transparent, and beneficial for both the community and the Village economy.
