Ownership and recorded sale history
What has actually traded in Downtown Delray Beach
Recorded transactions for retail properties in the downtown core around Atlantic Avenue and the Pineapple Grove avenues, narrowed to the buildings closest to this one in size and age.
Reading this against the corridor
The county assesses this building at $337/SF. Recorded sales of retail properties in Downtown Delray Beach since 2021 have a median of $927/SF, across a range of $275/SF to $1,790/SF.
Across those 8 recorded sales, the median sale price came in at 1.67× the county assessed value. Assessed values are set for taxation and are reset on their own schedule, so they routinely sit apart from transaction prices — in either direction.
At 576 SF this is a smaller building than the 3,210 SF median for retail properties trading here. Smaller footprints in this segment typically transact at a higher price per square foot.
By footprint it sits in roughly the 0th percentile of retail properties that have traded in this corridor — 18 of the 18 recorded sales were of larger buildings.
The assessment works out 64% below the median price per square foot of the comparable sales shown below. That is an arithmetic comparison of a tax figure against transaction prices, not a statement about what this building would sell for.
The lot runs 5.4× the building footprint — 3,137 SF of land under 576 SF of structure. Ratios that wide are usually where expansion or redevelopment questions start.
What this means for this building depends on what no public record contains — the leases, the condition, the rent roll.
