The first phase is now complete for the new Sundy Village in downtown Delray Beach, a mixed-use project that features a blend of historic and modern elements.
The 7-acre project at 22 W. Atlantic Ave. now has a base buildout of 100,000 square feet of Class A office space and 30,000 square feet of retail and dining, which begins the process for tenants to start operating.
Still to come in the second and third phases are another office building, a public parking garage and the reinvigoration of historic homes, including the Sundy House, the oldest house in the city that formerly held a restaurant, botanical gardens and an inn.
It’s “bringing an incredible restaurant, food and beverage option back to the market, which is what the Sundy House was,” said Todd Rosenberg, the co-founder and managing principal at Pebb Capital.
Rosenberg said he hopes the full project will be completed either by the end of 2026 or at the beginning of 2027. This is later than the original expected completion, which was by the end of 2024.
The “usual delays associated with construction of a big project” is what led to the timeline being pushed back, he said.
“As subcontractors are doing their jobs, sometimes things will need to be adjusted. And as a result of that adjustment, it could have a domino effect, which could cause other vendors who would’ve started sooner that have to wait until you complete adjusting something that you uncover mid-construction or that you realize you need to tweak in one direction or another,” he said.

Now that Phase One is complete, tenants now can begin their individual buildouts. One of the tenants, Vertical Bridges, a communications infrastructure operator, has been operational at Sundy Village since August.
Recently secured tenants include:
— Industrious, a “flexible workspace provider.”
— Maman, a French-inspired cafe and bakery from New York.
— Dragonfly MRI, a wellness imaging center.
— JTC, a global provider of funds, corporate and private client services.
— Fairstead Development, a real estate firm.
— Lost Coast Collective, a boutique investment-management firm.
— Coastal Investment Company, a private equity real estate firm.
— Delray Beach Craft Brewing, a local restaurant with a craft beer program.

These tenants add onto an early roster that includes Barcelona Wine Bar, Van Leewen Ice Cream, Double Knot and Drinking Pig BBQ.
Rosenberg said two to three spaces remain for lease.
“Leasing at Sundy Village mirrors the top demand drivers across South Florida: efficient layouts, seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity and walkable amenities,” John Criddle, the executive vice president at real estate firm CBRE who oversees office leasing, said in a statement.
“We expect the remaining suites to transact quickly as companies look to secure space at what is becoming Delray Beach’s most well-rounded mixed-use address.”
Sundy Village is being developed along the West Atlantic Avenue corridor between Swinton Avenue and Interstate 95, which historically has been viewed as the more dormant segment of Atlantic Avenue.
But the construction of Sundy Village — along with other projects such as a shipping container plaza and City Center Delray — may begin to activate the West Atlantic corridor over the next several years.
“As developments like Sunday Village get built, it puts additional developments in a more proximate position to be successful because of the adjacency of additional traffic drivers,” Rosenberg said. “It’s pretty common that when you see development occurring, if the development is successful, that new development will be looked at in order to capitalize on that momentum.”
