Palm Beach County group rejects Kushner warehouse plan April 5, 2021 at 3:55 PM EDT - Updated April 5 at 4:31 PM
A controversial project with ties to the father of Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump s son-in-law, is facing pushback in West Delray Beach.
Kushner Companies, owned by Charles Kushner submitted a plan to Palm Beach County in November asking to build a nearly 1-million-square-foot distribution center at the site.
The 50-acre parcel of land is located north of West Atlantic Avenue and west of the Turnpike. Currently, there is a nursery at the site. Really the entire project is just not the right thing for the right place, said Beth Rappaport, the president of the Coalition of Boynton West Residential Association (COBWRA).

Kushner Companies is seeking county approval to build a 1 million-square-foot, Amazon-type distribution facility just west of the turnpike in unincorporated Delray Beach off West Atlantic Avenue.
If approved, it would become the single largest commercial/industrial project built in the Agricultural Reserve, a 20,000-acre zone in southern Palm Beach County designed to preserve agriculture and prevent over-development.
The New York City-based real estate company has become increasingly active in South Florida. It was founded by Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law.
“We are very bullish on Palm Beach County and will continue to look for opportunities,” said Laurent Morali, president of Kushner Companies. “We intend to develop this (the West Delray project) ourselves. We have received a lot of inbound inquiries from various parties interested in either teaming up with us or buying the site from us.”
