Background:
Sun Up Skin signed a lease with the Delray Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) commencing on September 22, 2025. Sun Up Skin is a holistic facial spa and integrative wellness studio rooted in healing, community, and culture. Founded by a licensed esthetician and wellness entrepreneur, their practice blends advanced skin therapy with ancient healing traditions to support whole-body restoration. Sun Up Skin specializes in holistic facials, massage, sound healing, yoga, and community-based wellness offerings.
Sun Up Skin submitted a request for Site Development Funding Assistance to assist with the construction of the interior buildout and improvements, for an amount not to exceed $71,097.51. The Site Development Funding Assistance will assist with the buildout of two treatment rooms, updating the ceiling and lighting, buildout of retail storefront, updating the bathroom, creating a functional employee area, and updating flooring.
At the May 26, 2026, CRA Board meeting, the CRA Board conditionally approved the request subject to Sun Up Skin obtaining the necessary City of Delray Beach building permits. On July 27, 2026, after Sun Up Skin obtained the necessary permits, the CRA and Sun Up Skin entered into the Site Development Funding Assistance Agreement (Agreement) with a termination date of September 30, 2026. On September 2, 2026, Sun Up Skin requested additional time to complete the interior buildout and improvements due to construction needs.
At this time CRA Staff is requesting that the termination date for the Agreement be extended from September 30, 2026 to November 6, 2026, to allow for the interior buildout and improvements to be completed.
