Historic Meets Revival: The Hidden Story Behind Sundy Village

Delray Beach Geoff Braboy June 13, 2025

At the corner of Swinton and Atlantic Avenue in downtown Delray Beach, a transformation is taking shape that few saw coming—at least not like this. Not with this level of intention. Not with this level of respect for history. And certainly not with this much style.

Welcome to Sundy Village: a rare example of development done right. This 7-acre, mixed-use district is rewriting the rules for how a town can grow without losing its soul. And if you haven’t heard the full story yet, you’re about to.

A Legacy That Refuses to Be Erased

Delray Beach isn’t just another sun-soaked coastal city. It has roots. One of its most iconic and recognizable landmarks is the Sundy House, the oldest home in Delray, originally built in 1902. Instead of bulldozing the past to make way for the future, developers of Sundy Village have embraced the original character of the site.

Historic homes are being preserved and folded into the new vision. Mature trees are staying put. Buildings with character are being restored and reimagined. It’s not just development—it’s curation. The effect? A district that feels like it’s always belonged here, even as it breaks new ground.

Culture, Commerce, and Community Collide

While it honors the past, Sundy Village is undoubtedly forward-looking. This new district will blend upscale dining, boutique retail, and Class A office space in a layout that prioritizes walkability, green space, and experience.

Anchored by tenants like Barcelona Wine Bar and Vertical Bridge, the area is poised to attract professionals, creatives, and tastemakers who want something different: high-end but never high-stress. Business casual, but with soul. A place where you might start the morning in a coworking loft and end the evening with live jazz under string lights.

Construction began in 2023 and tenants are expected to begin opening by late 2025 into early 2026.

Why This Matters for Buyers

While Sundy Village itself won’t offer residential space, its impact on Delray Beach real estate is undeniable. Neighborhoods like Lake Ida, the Swinton Historic District, Palm Trail, and Delray Beach Island are already experiencing renewed attention.

For buyers and snowbirds looking to invest in a lifestyle—not just a home—this is the moment to act. Proximity to a thoughtfully planned, culturally rich district like Sundy Village could elevate both your quality of life and your long-term property value.

According to local real estate expert Geoff Braboy, "This isn’t just another amenity. It’s a lifestyle anchor—the kind of place that turns an already very good location into a great one."

More Than Hype

In a world of overpromised and underdelivered developments, Sundy Village stands out. It doesn’t scream. It speaks. It nods to the old Delray, elevates the new, and invites you to be a part of something rare: a neighborhood story worth watching—and living next to.

If you're curious about opportunities near Delray's most anticipated new district, Geoff Braboy can help you explore what's coming, what's possible, and what's still available.
