Custom Home Builder in Delray Beach, FL

SouthShore Builders is headquartered in Delray Beach. Our project portfolio is concentrated in East Delray neighborhoods — Palm Trail, Lake Ida, Beach Area, and Tropic Isle.

Building in Delray Beach

SouthShore Builders is headquartered in Delray Beach, FL and has completed more than 10 custom home projects in the city, including modern coastal new construction, duplexes, townhomes, and residential additions.

Delray Beach is SouthShore Builders' home market. Our office is based here, and the majority of our completed project portfolio is concentrated in East Delray neighborhoods including Palm Trail, Lake Ida, the Beach Area, and Tropic Isle. We know the permitting office, the inspectors, the subcontractors, and the soil conditions — and that local knowledge translates directly into smoother projects for our clients.

The Delray Beach market presents a distinctive mix of opportunities. Older CBS and frame homes on deep lots in East Delray are being torn down and replaced with modern new construction. Neighborhoods like Lake Ida and Palm Trail command premium prices for well-executed builds, and buyers in those areas expect a level of finish quality that reflects the market. SouthShore has completed multiple projects on NE 7th Avenue and NE 8th Street, giving us firsthand experience with the specific zoning, setback, and design review requirements in those corridors.

We build across all price points in Delray Beach — from targeted interior renovations and room additions to full custom homes and multi-family developments. Our duplex and multi-family experience is particularly relevant in Delray, where zoning allows two-unit development on many East Delray lots and investors are actively pursuing that opportunity.

SouthShore Builders is a licensed general contractor headquartered in Delray Beach. Every project is managed directly by our principal, Chase Lamson, from initial consultation through the final certificate of occupancy.

FAQ

Common Questions About Building in Delray Beach

Transitional and coastal contemporary are the dominant styles in East Delray Beach right now. Buyers and investors want clean lines, open floor plans, impact glass, and outdoor living spaces that blur the line between inside and out. Modern farmhouse has also had a strong run. We build across all of these styles and can connect you with architects who specialize in each.

Most residential lots in East Delray are zoned R-1-AA or R-1-A for single-family, with select areas allowing R-2 or RM multi-family development. Setbacks, lot coverage maximums, and height limits vary by zoning district. Delray Beach also has historic preservation overlays in certain neighborhoods that add design review requirements. We conduct a full zoning and site due diligence review as part of our pre-construction process.

Possibly. Duplex development requires R-2 or higher zoning, and the lot must meet minimum size and width requirements for two-unit development. Some East Delray lots qualify, and this is an active investment strategy in the market. SouthShore has completed duplex and multi-family projects in Delray Beach and can help you evaluate whether your specific lot is eligible.
