A favorite local hangout for some will be disappearing to make way for the Riviera Beach redevelopment of its marina. Click title for link to article.
Tiki Waterfront Sea Grill in Riviera Beach is set to close on Sunday, July 6, to make way for a redevelopment project that is expected to transform the Riviera Beach marina over the next 10 years.
Ground was broken in April on the $375 million, 26-acre mixed-use development project.
Scott Evans, the director of planning and redevelopment for Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, said because of the demolition planned at the marina the outdoor restaurant must close.
“As soon Tiki closes their doors, we’re going to do complete demolition,” Evans said Monday. “The biggest issue we had was how to keep them open while the site is going through massive construction. It would be unsafe. That’s why Tiki has to close.”
