By this time next year, South Palm Beach County residents will be able to do their holiday shopping at a new 275,000-square-foot retail and entertainment complex scheduled to open in late 2012.

Construction crews broke ground this week on Delray Marketplace, an upscale shopping, dining and entertainment center set to open in mid-November.

Confirmed tenants include Frank Theaters, a 12-screen movie theater and 16-lane bowling alley, Publix grocery store, Max’s Grille, White House Black Market, JoS. A. Bank, Verizon Wireless and a family entertainment amphitheater.

“We saw a need in the area for a sizable shopping center,” said Jason Samreny, vice president of leasing of Kite Realty Group, the Indianapolis-based owner and developer of Delray Marketplace.

The outdoor shopping complex is located at 9025 W. Atlantic Ave., on the corner of Lyons Road and Atlantic Avenue. The shopping and entertainment center is nestled in between neighborhood communities and aims to attract shoppers from Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Boynton Beach.
