Great. When I saw it boarded up, I worried that it would come down.
When I first started going to Palm Beach in the early 80s, WPB was a vile, disgusting slum. Now, it’s really nice and is a proper neighbor for Palm Beach.

Two contiguous parcels in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida totaling 2.7 acres for the development of a 361-unit, 25-story multifamily rental high-rise building with 42,000 square feet of retail. The site benefits from its proximity to the West Palm Beach Brightline Station as well as high-end residential, office, and retail destination. The business plan calls for the delivery of a top-of-the-market project with condo-quality finishes and larger units. West Palm Beach is experiencing a transformative renaissance highlighted by significant employment, population, income, and rent growth. We are encouraged by this opportunity as very few remaining sites in the downtown area allow for such a large-scale development.
All the proposals are nice however can anybody explain for clarification why the proposals are less than 500 ft tall?I believe I know the answer but just want it to be posted.
From the information I've gathered, the reason west palm beach doesn't build past 450 feet is because of the height restrictions, zoning regulations, and the pushback from some of the residents. West palm beach has had some great skyscraper projects proposed, but since the majority of the city and the surrounding area is made up of old and elderly people, they tend to oppose tall buildings, because in their words " we don't want to become another Miami". This is why most of these projects are not well favored by some of the community.
Yup, there's a lot of pushback on height. At least it isn't palm beach, they have one of the worst height restrictions. Though WPB had been trying to raise height limits at least.
I think they might be moving forward with this project, I just saw some office listing on loop net for the building. still waiting on more information (I think they might be presenting it to the city commission sometime soon).
Related Cos, will announce on Tuesday a plan for a new office tower that is expected to be the largest office building in downtown West Palm Beach.
It will be a 25-story building that will feature 456,000 square feet of office and 15,000 square feet of retail, which they expect will become the largest office building in downtown West Palm Beach.
One South Flagler will be a fantastic addition to WPB — a RASM design rarely seen outside NYC.
Given the lengthy historical connections to New York, it fits well.
The West Palm Beach Downtown Action Committee voted 4-1 on Wednesday, a final step before Transit Village can obtain site plan approval. Although city planning staff members generally aired in favor of the new plans, they raised concerns, including over one of the building’s designs and the garage podium façade.
Transit Village would span 1.3 million square feet in four 25-story buildings on 6.6 acres at 150 Clearwater Drive, according to city records.
Plans call for 986 residential units across three towers along the western and northern portion of the site, as well as 180,000 square feet of offices and 108 hotel keys in a tower on the property’s southern tip, the developers’ application and city records show. The residences will include 165 micro-units, and of the remaining 821 units, 42 will be workforce housing.
Construction is expected to start in the first quarter of next year, Related President Jon Paul Pérez told the board.
In total, 4 towers that are 25 stories, construction beginning next year Q1, and the project moving forward.
