The developers of a new neighborhood near downtown West Palm Beach are moving forward on its first phase, reshaping a stretch of industrial buildings into a food and fitness hub and considering a private club.

Wheelock Street Capital has signed on to help finance the venture being led by NDT Development and Place Projects, which was involved in remaking Miami’s Wynwood district. The full plan includes building 1 million square feet each of office and residential space, as well as a hotel, in a 40-acre area north of downtown called the Nora district.
