Palm Beach County commissioners approved nearly $4.7 million on Sept. 15 to help build a new affordable housing complex in Riviera Beach.
The $48-million-dollar development called the Residences at Marina Village will be geared toward working families – those who earn too much to qualify for low-income housing, but still struggle with high rent.
The 149-unit apartment complex is backed in part by the county’s Housing Bond Loan Program. The $200 million bond county was approved by voters back in 2022.
As South Florida continues to navigate a growing affordability crisis, data from real estate firms show the median rent across all property types in Palm Beach County was around $2,900.
Groundbreaking is scheduled for Sept. 29th at 3 p.m. and construction is expected to be completed by late 2026.
