The Square in downtown West Palm Beach, a vibrant hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment, is currently undergoing significant transformations. Key highlights include:

1. Demolition and Development: Parts of The Square are being demolished to make way for two new office towers, which will add nearly 1 million square feet of space to the area [2].
2. Transition Phase: The area is in a phase of transition, evolving into a more comprehensive shopping, residential, and entertainment district [3].
3. Site Clearance: As of September 2023, excavators were actively clearing debris at the site of the former movie theater at The Square, indicating ongoing development work [4].
4. Architectural Evolution: New renderings have been released, showcasing the design of the upcoming high-rise buildings, part of the ongoing changes to The Square [5].
5. Major Construction Projects: One notable project, titled One West Palm, is a 30-story mixed-use complex, featuring 326 luxury residential units and 200,000 square feet of Class A office space [6].

These developments are part of a broader trend of growth and modernization in downtown West Palm Beach, aiming to enhance the city’s appeal as a dynamic urban center.
