The Delray Beach CRA has affordable commercial rental spaces available on Historic NW 5th Avenue in Delray Beach
As rents continue to increase all over the state of Florida, the Delray CRA is offering a unique opportunity for qualified businesses to make their home on historic NW 5th Avenue for an affordable price. This Community Redevelopment Area is known as “The Set” and is within the West Settlers Historic District of the City of Delray Beach. The three available commercial properties are blocks away from the bustling energy of Atlantic Avenue and the CRA is seeking tenants that will serve in extending that positive, community energy.
These available spaces are reserved for commercial uses such as retail/specialty shops, professional offices, financial services, artist workshops/galleries, etc. 9 NW 5th Avenue deviates from the other two by also allowing applications from cafés/coffee shops.
By leasing affordable commercial space to local businesses, the CRA hopes to revitalize the NW and SW 5th Avenue corridor by increasing neighborhood pedestrian activity, diversifying shopping, and adding cultural facilities and other services. If this sounds like your business, continue reading to learn about each space that is up for grabs.
