On Tuesday, Sept. 30, the long-anticipated $1.5 billion Metropica development officially broke ground in Sunrise.

The master-planned project is poised to transform western Broward County and is approved for 3,000 residential units, 650,000 square feet of office space, 485,000 square feet of retail and two hotels on a 50-acre site located between Sawgrass Mills and Amerant Bank Arena.

Metropica’s first phase will include approximately 900 luxury rental apartments, a retail plaza with restaurants and entertainment that will total approximately 150,000 square feet, and one of the two hotels.

During the groundbreaking event, Metropica Development LLC CEO Joseph Kavana, President Bernie Werner and Vice President Erick Collazo were joined by Sunrise Mayor Mike Ryan, Assistant Deputy Mayor Jacqueline Guzman and Commissioner Latoya Clarke.

Metropica also introduced, for the first time, its retail development and residential development partners. Poag Development Group, a Tennessee-based developer that pioneered the lifestyle retail center concept, will lead the retail development at Metropica. Poag Development President and CEO Josh Poag spoke on the company’s behalf during the event. Boca Raton-based Waypoint Residential will lead the residential development of Metropica, with Managing Director Chris Moore speaking on behalf of the company.

Pebb Capital, a national diversified real estate and private equity investment firm, announced the completion of Phase One at Sundy Village, its premier mixed-use development in the heart of Delray Beach.

The seven-acre campus recently received a TCO, marking a major milestone as a surge of new office, retail and food-and-beverage leases brings the project to 88 percent leased, with 268 below-grade parking spaces now available to the public.

Sundy Village has now delivered 100,000 square feet of Class A+ office space and 30,000 square feet of retail and dining. Woven into a walkable setting of shaded pathways and activated courtyards, new leases build on an early roster that includes Vertical Bridge, Barcelona Wine Bar, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Double Knot and Drinking Pig BBQ. Vertical Bridge originally leased 38,474 square feet and moved in earlier this year. The firm has since expanded, bringing its total footprint at Sundy Village to 48,140 square feet. With the TCO in place, restaurants have started their buildouts, with openings anticipated to begin later this year and continue on a rolling basis through the first half of 2026. The project has another 8,500 square feet of leases under negotiation, which would bring occupancy to more than 92 percent.

“Completing this phase with the majority of the campus leased affirms the strategy we envisioned from the outset,” said Todd Rosenberg, Co-Founder and Managing Principal at Pebb Capital. “Tenants see a strategic advantage to doing business where workplaces, amenities and lifestyle converge — positioning Sundy Village to serve as a long-term anchor and defining presence in Delray Beach’s continued growth.”

Signed tenants now include flexible workspaces, wellness, financial services and a wave of culinary concepts. New leases include:

Industrious, the national flexible workspace provider, will occupy 25,190 square feet across two standalone office buildings at 25 SW First Ave. and 35 SW First Ave. This reflects sustained demand for turnkey, design-forward offices that support hybrid work.
Maman, the New York–founded café and bakery known for its French-leaning menu and distinctive interiors, leased 1,768 square feet. The brand’s continued South Florida expansion will serve as an experience driver within Sundy Village’s pedestrian corridor.
Dragonfly MRI, a precision wellness imaging center, leased 6,485 square feet.
JTC, a global provider of funds, corporate and private client services, signed 2,458 square feet.
Fairstead Development, a purpose-driven real estate firm, leased 2,215 square feet.
Lost Coast Collective LLC, a boutique investment-management firm, signed 1,212 square feet.
Coastal Investment Company, a private equity real estate firm, leased 1,030 square feet.
Delray Beach Craft Brewing, LLC, a locally owned upscale restaurant featuring its own craft beer program, will take 1,143 square feet in the historic Cathcart House on Swinton Ave.

“Leasing at Sundy Village mirrors the top demand drivers across South Florida: efficient layouts, seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity and walkable amenities. We expect the remaining suites to transact quickly as companies look to secure space at what is becoming Delray Beach’s most well-rounded mixed-use address,” added John Criddle, Executive Vice President at CBRE, who oversees office leasing alongside Joe Freitas.

Sundy Village’s Phase Two construction progress will continue with a 79,141-square-foot standalone office building at 100 SE First Ave. and a 165-space parking garage at 48 SE First Ave. that will include 3,400 square feet of ground-floor retail. Through a partnership with the City of Delray Beach, the garage will be available for public use after 6 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the weekends — supporting both tenants and the surrounding district.

Situated within a mile from Interstate 95, Sundy Village is a gateway to Delray Beach’s entertainment corridor. With architecture by Gensler and RLC Architects, patrons enjoy thoughtful design that integrates open-air courtyards, breezy walkways, green space and indoor/outdoor dining and seating areas. One of the most unique aspects of Sundy Village is its ability to incorporate new construction with the preservation of historic homes on the property, several of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These homes have been carefully restored throughout the development process. As part of this effort, historical plaques have been installed at the front and rear of the homes, offering visitors a glimpse into Delray Beach’s heritage while connecting past and present.
