Miami-based Terra and Palm Beach-based Frisbie Group acquired a 26.1-acre parcel at the former Palm Beach Kennel Club site for $19.5 million on September 8, 2026, completing their land assembly of the 42-acre Westgate Village redevelopment near Palm Beach International Airport (PBI).

What is Westgate Village and what will be built there?

Westgate Village is a mixed-use redevelopment project planned by Terra and Frisbie Group on the site of the former Palm Beach Kennel Club, a shuttered greyhound racing facility west of PBI in West Palm Beach. The developers are seeking zoning approval for a development that would reshape one of Palm Beach County's most prominent underused properties.

  • Proposed program: 1,145 multifamily residential units
  • Retail and commercial component: 120,000 square feet
  • Zoning approval is currently being pursued for the full scope of the project
  • Construction on the broader kennel club mixed-use development is expected to begin in 2026

Why does the September 8 purchase matter to the project's timeline?

The September 8, 2026 acquisition of the 26.1-acre parcel for $19.5 million represents Terra and Frisbie Group's third and final land purchase needed to consolidate the entire 42-acre site, removing a key obstacle to advancing Westgate Village toward the approval and construction phases. With the full site now under unified ownership, the development team is positioned to move forward on permitting and zoning hearings without the complications of a fragmented land base.

What is the broader significance for the West Palm Beach area?

The Westgate corridor, situated adjacent to Palm Beach International Airport, has long been regarded as an area ripe for densification given its transit access and proximity to employment centers. A project of this scale — over 1,100 residential units paired with significant retail — would represent one of the most substantial infill developments in Palm Beach County in recent years.

  • Terra is a Miami-based developer with a track record of large-scale urban mixed-use projects across South Florida
  • Frisbie Group is headquartered in Palm Beach and brings local market knowledge to the partnership
  • The former kennel club site has sat largely dormant since greyhound racing was banned in Florida following a 2018 constitutional amendment
