The Sundy House, built in 1902 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is getting a full restoration as the centerpiece of Sundy Village's Phase Two. While for decades everything east of Swinton was considered the desirable side of downtown Delray, this project is redefining those boundaries.
Key Takeaways
-
The Sundy House, the oldest structure in Delray Beach, is currently closed for renovation and expected to reopen in late 2026.
-
Phase Two of Sundy Village adds 79,141 square feet of office space, a 165-space parking garage, and 3,400 square feet of ground-floor retail.
-
Phase One was delivered in September 2025, comprising 100,000 square feet of Class A office space, and reached 88% occupancy shortly after opening.
Sundy Village is a seven-acre mixed-use campus at the corner of Atlantic and Swinton in downtown Delray Beach, developed by Pebb Capital and designed by Gensler. The project is transforming what was previously an underutilized block into a walkable destination with office, retail, dining, and historic preservation.
Previously, we covered Sundy Village's initial plans. After years in development, it's now turning those plans into reality.
What did Phase One deliver?
Phase One wrapped in September 2025 and brought 100,000 square feet of Class A office space, 30,000 square feet of retail and dining, and 268 underground parking spaces.
Office tenants include Vertical Bridge, Industrious coworking, Dragonfly MRI, JTC corporate services, Fairstead Development, and Coastal Investment Company. The project reached roughly 88% leased shortly after receiving its certificate of occupancy, a strong absorption rate for a brand-new mixed-use campus.
The restaurant lineup includes Barcelona Wine Bar, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Double Knot Japanese izakaya, Drinking Pig BBQ, Maman café, and Delray Beach Craft Brewing. Most began buildouts in late 2025 with openings rolling through 2026.
What is the Sundy House and why does it matter?
The Sundy House was originally built in 1902 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1992. It is the oldest structure in Delray Beach.
The home is currently closed for renovation and expected to reopen in late 2026 as the historic centerpiece and southern anchor of the campus. The restoration and reuse of other historic homes on the site add character that new construction alone cannot replicate.
Full campus completion, including the Sundy House reopening and final restaurant concepts, is expected in late 2026 to early 2027.

Why does this location matter for Delray Beach real estate?
As Larry Mastropieri explained on the Discover South Florida Podcast, "Typically, anything east of Swinton in downtown Delray on the north and south side is desirable. This property is west of Swinton. When you start to cross over into new territory, you start to make things interesting for that new area. The historically rougher neighborhood west of Swinton is now on notice that development is headed that way."
That's the real story here. Sundy Village is not just adding square footage. It's redrawing the map of where value concentrates in downtown Delray Beach.
The parking garage in Phase Two is being developed in partnership with the City of Delray Beach, which signals active municipal support for the project's role in the broader downtown ecosystem.
What does this mean for Delray Beach buyers?
Sundy Village is one of the largest transformations of downtown Delray Beach property in years. A fully operational mixed-use campus at Atlantic and Swinton creates a new anchor that will draw foot traffic, dining, and office workers deeper into the corridor.
For buyers considering downtown Delray Beach, the delivery of Class A office space alongside walkable retail and dining tends to sustain residential demand and support pricing. As we covered in Atlantic Crossing's development, this pattern of mixed-use investment is reshaping downtown.
With occupancy already near 90% in Phase One and Phase Two moving forward, this is not a speculative project. It is an operating campus with confirmed tenants and a clear completion timeline.
For those watching West Delray, Larry's point stands: the line has moved. What was once the less desirable side of Swinton is now seeing institutional-grade investment.
