A major redevelopment project in Riviera Beach is set to transform the local landscape, with plans to enhance infrastructure and improve stormwater management. During the Planning & Zoning Board meeting on July 24, 2025, city officials discussed the abandonment of an existing sanitary sewer system and the installation of a new 8-inch water main along Twelfth Street, connecting to Avenue E.

The project promises to contain stormwater on-site using innovative chambers located beneath parking garages, ensuring that the discharge will be less than current levels. This is a significant step towards better environmental management, as the development will feature more pervious space and open areas than required, contributing to improved groundwater recharge.

In a noteworthy commitment to aesthetics and functionality, all overhead power lines will be buried, enhancing the visual appeal of the area. Streets, including Twelfth and Eleventh, will undergo extensive reconstruction to accommodate new curbing and parallel parking, further revitalizing the neighborhood.

The residential component of the project will include market-rate condos, offering a variety of one and two-bedroom options, designed to attract a diverse range of residents. Landscaping plans exceed city requirements, with larger trees and shrubs intended to create a vibrant and inviting atmosphere.

Overall, this redevelopment initiative not only aims to modernize the infrastructure but also to foster a more attractive and sustainable community in Riviera Beach. As plans progress, residents can look forward to a greener, more accessible urban environment.
