CityPlace (Downtown West Palm Beach)
CityPlace, is an upscale shopping mall complex, including apartments and offices, located in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida along South Rosemary Ave. The development of this property, constituting several city blocks in downtown West Palm Beach, is largely credited for the city's urban renaissance several years ago. The area where CityPlace now stands was formerly an extremely run-down neighborhood near downtown. Besides shopping and movies, CityPlace is now at the forefront of West Palm Beach nightlife, having eclipsed the establishments located on nearby Clematis Street.
It is a good example of a New Urbanist mixed-use development.
The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts [1] and the Dreyfoos School of the Arts are located within walking distance of CityPlace, as is the newly built Palm Beach County Convention Center. A trolley-bus circles downtown between CityPlace and Clematis Street.
CityPlace also consists of The Harriet Himmel Theater (a renovated Methodist church), and a freestanding Publix on its outskirts. Macy's and the Muvico 20 movie theatre are its anchors.
