The site is located at the northeast corner of SE 3rd Avenue and SE 1st Street. The subject property consists of Town Of Delray Lots 20 through 33 of Block 93 and measures 0.929 acres. The parcel has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of Central Core (CC) and is zoned Central Business District (CBD). The lots currently contain surface parking lots previously owned by SunTrust Bank.
