AGENDA
2:30pm – 4:00pm Presentations followed by Q&A
4:00pm – 5:00pm Networking and Happy Hour (2 drinks included and light appetizers)
Delray Beach Market is more than just a food hall – it’s a lifestyle experience, a beacon of bright energy, a place to connect, a space for visitors to savor and celebrate the vibrance of Delray Beach. Bites to satisfy any craving, craft cocktails, visionary art, immersive pop-ups – here they all collide in unexpectedly delightful ways, creating a unique and playful destination for gathering and soaking in the coastal flavors of this urban beach town. Listen to local government officials and developer representatives as they present the project’s history, detail, and realization from concept to concrete. The project was conceptualized and developed to bring a new found sense of energy and culture to Delray Beach. Delray Beach Market is the brainchild of Menin, a privately-held owner, developer and manager of commercial real estate properties founded in 1985 and headquartered in Delray Beach. Menin has acquired, developed and remodeled in excess of $1.5 billion of property in South Florida, Phoenix, New Orleans and throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Presently, Menin owns, manages and is in development of more than $700 million of commercial real estate. Current development is focused on urban commercial mixed-use, hospitality and multi-family projects in South Florida, along with select single tenant acquisitions in upscale markets nationally.
