ACRE DISTRICT
an underutilized neighborhood, to a transformative mixed-use district
Nora is a 40-acre, multi-phase neighborhood revitalization project currently under development in West Palm Beach, transforming an underutilized neighborhood into a walkable, cohesive mixed‑use district anchored by an adaptively re‑used commercial main street combined with vertical residential and commercial development.
Beginning in 2019, Place Projects and NDT Development assembled more than 90 parcels in downtown and led the transformation of the area now known as the Nora District. Place Projects has played a central role in shaping Nora’s vision and execution, leading key aspects of the master planning and entitlement process, public-private partnerships, placemaking, horizontal development, and retail development. Nora’s first phase opened in August 2025, with additional tenant openings continuing throughout 2026 and beyond.
OUR ROLE
Master Developer, Owner, Operator with NDT Development and Institutional Capital Partners
Approved by the City Commission in 2022, the Nora District Master Plan, created with PlusUrbia and the City of West Palm Beach, preserves the neighborhood’s human‑scale commercial spine and residential core while introducing more than 2 million square feet of future mixed‑use development.
