“RMA is honored to be working with the City of Coconut Creek,” said Lynn Dehlinger, Project Manager. “The city leaders have achieved so much through their forward-thinking vision, and they recognize that strategic redevelopment is essential to continue that success. We are enthusiastic about joining their efforts and helping to build that future.”
The City Commission’s goal is to ensure Coconut Creek’s economic vitality and sustainability by identifying development and redevelopment opportunities, evaluating their impacts on the local economy, municipal services, and the city’s fiscal health.
Nestled between Miami and Palm Beach, Coconut Creek distinguishes itself through thoughtful design and an eco-conscious ethos, earning recognition as a “Best City to Live in America” by Money Magazine and securing a Top 10 spot in Florida rankings by Movoto and NerdWallet.
With a population of 58,000, the city fosters a thriving business community anchored by the MainStreet Project. This award-winning development, recognized for its design excellence, is the city’s crown jewel. It features the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek and the upscale, 23-acre open-air Promenade, boasting diverse shops and restaurants.
The MainStreet initiative is set to revitalize the city center by creating a vibrant, walkable destination. It introduces a sophisticated mix of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, including parks and activities, underscoring Coconut Creek’s commitment to people-centered development.
As a forward-thinking city, Coconut Creek is dedicated to sustainable and resilient growth. Known as the “Butterfly Capital of the World” thanks to Butterfly World, the city is home to the largest park of its kind globally. Established in 1988, this vibrant sanctuary invites visitors into an immersive experience where they can walk among as many as 20,000 fluttering butterflies and diverse tropical creatures, exploring its expansive aviaries and educational breeding laboratory.
Coconut Creek’s development strategy prioritizes purposeful mixed-use spaces, ensuring long-term environmental and economic sustainability. This unique blend of nature, opportunity, and innovation positions Coconut Creek for a bright future and a high quality of life.
