Ben Yomtob’s Delray Beach Business Update

Delray Beach Marketing Cooperative


The Delray Beach Marketing Cooperative, Inc., is a partnership between the City of Delray Beach, the Community Redevelopment Agency and the Chamber of Commerce. The DBMC’s mission is to attract people to the City, create a positive image and increase awareness of Delray Beach for a positive economic impact through Destination Marketing, marketing programs, special events and community collaboration. The DBMC consists of Stephanie Immelman, Stephen Chrisanthus, Jarrod White & Tiffany Mazer.

Stephanie is a longtime marketing professional having worked for companies such as Continental Airlines and AT&T both in the USA and in Europe. She started her career in the travel industry at Continental, eventually managing the OnePass Elite frequent flyer program at company HQ in Houston. Stephanie earned her Master’s in International Relations at Boston University in Brussels, Belgium eventually running AT&T’s Competitor Intelligence division for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Stephanie moved to London with AT&T and lived there for nine years working first in telecom then leaving to follow her dream of running an art gallery.

She eventually moved back to the USA to be closer to her family, bringing her South African husband, Franzswa, and two British cats along with her. “I’m delighted to be back in the US and to be able to bring my travel industry experience to help broadcast Delray Beach’s attributes to a wider audience”. Stephanie was instrumental in having Delray Beach named the Most Fun Small Town in the USA by Rand McNally, USA Today and the Travel Channel in July 2012. You can often see her tooling around on the Chamber’s golf cart taking journalists on a whirlwind tour of Delray Beach.

Whip smart and well educated, Stephen joined the team in October and has quickly become invaluable. He has a strong background in marketing and finance and is focused on destination marketing and promoting Delray Beach globally to business and leisure travelers with a goal of making a significant impact on the community’s economic development efforts.

He holds a bachelors degree in communications from the College of Charleston and a masters degree in public relations from New York University. Despite his high level career background and education he doesn’t hesitate to tote boxes and move mountains if necessary.

Palm Beach Post reports: Mar-a-Lago value Jumps 10%

Palm Beach Property Values on the Rise:  Mar-a- Lago’s  Increase compares to Other Palm Beach County Landmarks

The property value in the Palm Beach County area is undoubtedly on the rise.  Yomtob Properties has some of the most stunning, luxurious, comfortable, buildings with highly desirable locations in the Palm Beach County area.  More and more businesses are trying to find a better office – Yomtob Properties has them – for more information – CLICK HERE to head to Yomtob Properties official site.

Palm Beach Post recently ran the story below:

President Donald Trump often crows about the sublime surroundings and topnotch value of his Mar-a-Lago Club, and it seems the folks at the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s office agree: Trump’s  winter White House was the rare piece of property to post a double-digit gain in value for 2016.

The property appraiser just posted its market values as of Jan. 1, 2017, and it pegs Mar-a-Lago’s worth at $23.1 million, up 10 percent from last year.

After he won the election, Trump doubled the initial membership fee to $200,000. More recently, though, 20 charities have canceled their fundraisers at the club.

A spot check of 2017 taxable values of some other Palm Beach County landmarks:

  • Town Center Mall in Boca Raton is worth $490 million, up 6.5 percent from 2016.
  • Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens is valued at $318.9 million, up 7 percent.
  • The Breakers in Palm Beach is worth $285.6 million, up 7.5 percent.
  • Boca Raton Resort and Club is valued at $218.5 million, up 9 percent.
  • The Phillips Point office complex in West Palm Beach is worth $162.4 million, up 6.2 percent.
  • The Ziff estate in Manalapan, which is for sale for $165 million, is valued at $83 million, up 6.7 percent.
  • Trump’s Jupiter Golf Club is worth $15.7 million, up 7.3 percent.
  • The now-empty Macy’s store at CityPlace in West Palm Beach is worth $2 million, down 23 percent.

Intriguingly, one rare property to top Mar-a-Lago’s 10 percent gain was the Macy’s store at Town Center in Boca. By the property appraiser’s reckoning, its value rose 10.2 percent, to $17.3 million.
