The City of Delray Beach has hired CBRE as the exclusive agent for a new master-planned 18-hole golf course to revitalize the current Delray Beach Golf Club at 2200 Highland Avenue. The site is approximately 150 acres located along Atlantic Avenue to the north and just west of Interstate 95.
The redevelopment will include a redesigned world-class 18-hole championship golf course that will prioritize the integrity and historical significance of the current 9-hole course designed by acclaimed golf course designer, Donald Ross. Additionally, there will be new amenities, including a clubhouse, golf pro shop, bar, kitchen, restaurant, golf cart barn and maintenance building.
“While the course has received industry acclaim in the past, it needs upgrades and renovations estimated at more than $10 million to maintain the course and enhance the visitor experience. The site’s redevelopment is also an opportunity for placemaking; we encourage developers to create a destination that welcomes all City residents, golfers and non-golfers alike,” Delray Beach Mayor Shelly Petrolia said.
The City has outlined specific requirements and goals related to this redevelopment in the Request for Proposal. Any questions regarding the specifications and solicitation process must be submitted in writing to the Purchasing Department at purchasing@mydelraybeach.com. Requests for clarification and additional information must be received by the Deadline for Submission of Questions on September 21, 2022.
The City’s preference is for the selected developer to provide the upgrades and renovations at limited to no cost to the City. To accomplish this goal, the City will consider commercial uses on the site to provide a revenue stream for the developer to offset the upgrade and renovation costs.
CBRE local expert Chris Smiles will partner with Lee Ann Korst, Southeast Regional Manager of CBRE’s Public Institutions and Education Solutions (PIES), to represent the City. CBRE’s PIES Group provides real estate services to state, county, city, and educational institutions around the country.
