CityPlace (formerly known as Rosemary Square and The Square) is an upscale lifestyle center in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida, along South Rosemary Avenue. Considered a New Urbanist mixed-use development, CityPlace is architecturally composed of Mediterranean and Venetian elements. The 600,000-square-foot (56,000 m2)-center constitutes several city blocks and contains more than 60 restaurants and stores, as well as rental apartments, condos, and offices.

Opening in October 2000, the property is primarily credited for the urban renaissance of West Palm Beach,[1] which had previously been notorious for crime, poverty, and vacant and dilapidated businesses and houses.

LA Fitness and Publix are the center's anchors. The third anchor was Macy's which closed in 2017. Two movie theaters, AMC Parisian 20 and IMAX, were also on the property, though they have both since closed. Hotspots include Cheesecake Factory, Sloan's Ice Cream, and Starbucks. Apart from shopping, dining, and cinema, the center is now at the forefront of West Palm Beach's entertainment complementing establishments located on nearby Clematis Street.

The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. School of the Arts are located within walking distance to CityPlace, as is the Palm Beach County Convention Center. An early-century trolleybus circles downtown between CityPlace and Clematis.
