Summary, model-written

The Falls Country Club golf course closed in 2025. Palm Beach County Commission approved a zoning change (commercial recreation to planned unit development) for redevelopment into housing. GL Homes, which purchased the site in 2014 for $4.56M, proposed an 800-unit housing project. The Commission considered this plan in February 2026.

Why. Status is proposed; zoning change approved but final development approval pending. County housing market shows strong growth (ZHVI up 26% over 5 years).

Where it stands. Golf course closed (2025), zoning change approved, housing plan under review by Commission (2026).

For a planner
