O’Connor Capital & Partners Propose Workforce Housing & Community Center in Riviera Beach
Riviera Beach’s Planning and Zoning Board unanimously approves land use changes for O’Connor Capital & partners’ mixed-use development with 175 workforce housing units, retail space, and community center.
New York-based O’Connor Capital Partners, in partnership with Marina Annex Housing, LLC, has proposed a mixed-use development in Riviera Beach that includes 175 workforce housing units, retail space, and a community center. The project, which is still subject to approval by the Riviera Beach City Council, has received unanimous support from the city’s Planning and Zoning Board.
The development, planned for 3.6 acres of land at 251 West 11th Street, would require land use changes to proceed. These changes were approved by the board in a 5-0 vote, paving the way for the project to move forward.
The proposed development has been met with some controversy, as some residents and city officials have raised concerns about the potential impact on the surrounding community. However, O’Connor Capital Partners and their partners have emphasized the project’s focus on providing much-needed affordable housing options for the city’s workforce.
In a statement, O’Connor Capital Partners expressed their commitment to the project, saying, “We are excited about the potential this development has to improve the quality of life for residents of Riviera Beach by providing much-needed affordable housing and community amenities.”
Despite some pushback, the project has received strong support from the Planning and Zoning Board as well as city officials. If approved by the City Council, the development could bring much-needed affordable housing options and community resources to Riviera Beach.
