“I actually have three kids, little ones,” she said. Especially for the condominiums around here.”
She’s talking about the Avenir Town Center, a 51-acre centerpiece that could serve as a downtown not only for the 3,900 homes under construction on Avenir, but also for the larger Acreage community nearby.

The property is zoned into 350,000 square feet of commercial use, 250 multifamily residences, 120,000 square feet of office space, 150 hotel rooms, and public gathering spaces.
“This will allow people from around the world to come and go from this part of the world today to Palm Beach Gardens and downtown West Palm every day, or from Ibis and Bay Hill,” Scheckter said. “Some of the people who come here in the morning and work in the clinic space here will have their trip captured and the traffic pattern reversed.”
Beyond the town center, the property will also soon feature 3,900 new homes of all sizes and price points.
This comes at a time when Palm Beach County desperately needs more housing due to supply and demand issues.

Dr. Ken Johnson, professor of business at Florida Atlantic University, said: “[There is a] A very large demand side and a shortage of units in terms of home ownership and development. ”
“We deliberately placed the town center on Northlake Boulevard because we knew it would serve not only Avenir but also the surrounding area,” Scheckter said. “The whole region is growing.”
This gives the community hope for future developments.
“Everything is new, especially after you’ve seen it in a certain way and then come back and say, ‘Oh my God, look at all this new stuff that’s been brought to the community,'” said Middlebrook. rice field.
