“Being born in Boca Raton, I grew up a stone’s throw away from Mizner Park. Year by year I saw how that property has rejuvenated the city with exciting restaurants, boutique retail stores & live concert performances. Also, as a current Delray Beach resident, I’ve seen Atlantic Ave morph into the hottest area for new bars and restaurants firsthand. It’s fascinating to see what high-end commercial developments and new restaurant concepts can overhaul an entire city in a matter of 5-10 years. South Florida has many subpockets and side beach cities that will eventually populate higher and higher and drive the need for restaurants, entertainment or even retail spaces. And nobody knows the south Florida market better than Prakas & Co. “
