Menin bought the site from the Morton Group in 2018, which had planned to build a 48-unit boutique condo project. Interiors at the condo project were to be designed by tennis star Venus Williams, but the project never broke ground.

Menin has bought and sold a number of properties in Delray Beach. In December, Menin Development bought a 48,800-square-foot retail and office building at 110 East Atlantic Avenue. Last year, Menin Development sold the PGA Plaza in Palm Beach Gardens for $88 million.

Delray Beach is becoming one of the most attractive destinations for new development. In December, National Realty Investment Advisors launched sales for Ocean Delray, its newly planned 19-unit boutique condo development in Delray Beach, its first oceanfront condo project in Delray Beach in 30 years.

In January, a joint venture led by 13th Floor Investments, Key International and CDS International bought the former Office Depot headquarters in Delray Beach for $33 million, with plans to redevelop the property into one of the biggest projects in the city’s history.
