Florida East Coast Railroad Thriving Sunset Lounge
In the late 1800’s, news of extending the FEC
railroad through West Palm Beach brought blacks
from all over the Southeast to the area in search of
work.
By 1915, the Northwest Neighborhood was the center
of the city’s black community. The development of
the segregated black community grew during the first
half of the century but has tapered off over the
decades.

URBANSTATEMENT
5
The Urban Design redevelopment for Banyan Boulevard is focused on
creating a pedestrian-friendly link in a seemingly dead street in the Northwest
Neighborhood of West Palm Beach. Segregation and poor quality housing
within the neighborhood has caused severe economic failure, gentrification
and poverty in this once thriving district. Focusing on creating a strong urban
core with the integration of mixed-use buildings, new residencies and
pedestrian pathways can help to meet the needs of local business workers,
visitors and residents.
The lack of community spaces and public parking, abandoned
businesses and auto-oriented streets are main elements contributing to the
gentrification of this corridor. The integration of shared streets, public walkways
and new commercial businesses would begin to form a sense of community
and create an iconic strip that gives visitors the downtown experience. The
program of mixed-use and residential buildings both contradict and
compliment each other, serving as a link between the historical neighborhood
and Quadrille Business District that accentuates the proposed linear park,
enhances the public realm and promotes an active urban environment.

RELATIONSHIP
Reviving the lost community of this
once thriving and integrated neighborhood
while inviting the automobile-oriented
lifestyle stands as the conceptual focus for
this project. The transition from active
urban pathways to private residencies
give it an auto-urban relationship tied
together with vehicular and pedestrian
circulation. By memorializing the existing
historic railroad tracks through the
delamination of the proposed linear park
and creating the amalgamation of 3
divergent districts, a typical mixed-use
garage structure transforms into a
respondent form, mimicking and inviting its
contextual surroundings to work as one.
