NEW URBANISM ROAD TRIP -- PART 4
On day two, we drive into Palm Beach County, stopping at Abacoa -- a billion dollar development in the Town of Jupiter.
Abacoa is a 2,000-plus-acre, master-planned, mixed-use community designed as a Traditional Neighborhood Development.
Abacoa is designed to be walkable and diverse, with affordable to high-end housing.
Its center has a minor league baseball stadium and a main street-style town center with shops and residences.
The DPZ firm worked on Abacoa with the legendary Calthorpe Associates and Moule and Polyzoides Architects.
The goal was to create a compact development out of raw land, rather than filling it with sprawling subdivisions that required automobile use to fulfill basic daily needs.
Tomorrow: Delray Beach FLA
