BOYNTON BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The implosion of a hotel in Boynton Beach is set for this morning. We first reported on the pending implosion of the old Inn at Boynton Beach last week. The following is the official announcement from the City of Boynton Beach which reminds everyone that the implosion is not open to the public for viewing:
>>The Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (BBCRA) will take a major step forward in its efforts to revitalize the Boynton Beach Boulevard corridor with the scheduled demolition of the former Inn at Boynton Beach on Wednesday, December 17, at 10:00 a.m.
The 2.11-acre property, located at 480 W. Boynton Beach Boulevard, sits at the highly visible intersection of Boynton Beach Boulevard and I-95, an area already experiencing transformation with the Florida Department of Transportation’s interchange improvement project currently underway.
On October 1, 2025, the BBCRA acquired the site for $8.1 million as part of its long-term strategy to encourage catalytic redevelopment along Boynton Beach’s main east–west corridor. Following assessment of the existing structure, the BBCRA determined demolition to be the necessary first step in preparing the property for future redevelopment.
To support this effort, the BBCRA was awarded $75,000 through the Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority’s Blighted and Distressed Property Clean-Up Grant Program, helping to offset demolition costs and accelerate progress at the site. Clearing the existing structure marks the beginning of a significant transformation that will attract private investment and support a thriving urban environment.
This property is located within the Boynton Beach Boulevard District, which is a key gateway into the developing Downtown corridor. Its redevelopment will play a significant role in creating a more welcoming, accessible, and vibrant corridor that reflects both the CRA’s vision and the City of Boynton Beach’s Master Plan, which prioritizes strategic investments in key corridors, enhanced mobility, and high-quality urban design.<<
