The Square, West Palm Beach

The Square, West Palm Beach (must see)

In the heart of downtown West Palm Beach, you'll find The Square - an urban oasis that epitomizes urban renewal and modern architectural excellence. This upscale lifestyle center, formerly known as Rosemary Square and CityPlace, seamlessly blends Mediterranean and Venetian design elements across 600,000 square feet of prime real estate along South Rosemary Avenue.

The Square isn't just a shopping destination; it's a dynamic mixed-use development that has revitalized West Palm Beach. Boasting over 60 restaurants and stores, it offers diverse shopping and dining experiences, alongside rental apartments, condos, and offices, fostering a vibrant community.

Since its grand opening in October 2000, The Square has spearheaded West Palm Beach's urban renaissance, breathing new life into an area previously marred by crime and neglect. Today, it stands as a symbol of progress and urban planning's transformative power.

Anchored by LA Fitness and Publix, The Square remains a vital community cornerstone, despite Macy's closure in 2017 and the departure of AMC Parisian 20 and IMAX theaters. Renowned spots like Cheesecake Factory, Sloan's Ice Cream, and Starbucks keep the energy alive.

Beyond shopping and dining, The Square is a cultural and entertainment hub, enhancing Clematis Street's nearby attractions. With the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, the Dreyfoos School of the Arts, and the Palm Beach County Convention Center within walking distance, it offers a rich cultural experience.

Getting around downtown is a breeze, thanks to an early-century trolleybus connecting The Square to Clematis Street. Whether you seek shopping, dining, culture, or a vibrant urban atmosphere, The Square is a cornerstone of West Palm Beach's thriving landscape.
