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.

I don't know why but I wasn't next in my mind for a South Florida city to gain a skyline, but I love it and welcome it.

Is that 1355 South Flagler by Robert A.M. Stern? It's just magnificent

This has a new name and it's now officially on the developers protfolio: Fern & Gardenia

https://13fi.com/portfolio/fern-gardenia

Quote:
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.

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.

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.

Thank you for all the updates @Miles1800! New things added to the main development list - a mega development section and the newly proposed 515 Fern.

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.

Pérez and Sagi’s Transit Village in WPB advances
https://therealdeal.com/miami/2022/0...-wpb-advances/

Quote:
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.
