West Palm Beach
The mainland that finally built
Overview
Across the Intracoastal from Palm Beach — a downtown absorbing serious financial relocation and the county's only real pipeline of new residences.
On the market in West Palm Beach
The West Palm Beach guide
West Palm Beach is the practical consequence of Palm Beach's refusal to build. The financial firms that have relocated to the county over the past several years needed offices, and their people needed somewhere to live; both went to the mainland side of the bridge. The result is a downtown with a genuine construction pipeline for the first time in its history — waterfront towers along Flagler Drive, offices behind them, and the Norton and the Kravis Center giving the whole thing a cultural spine. It is the one Palm Beach County market where supply is actually arriving.
West Palm Beach sits across the Intracoastal from the island and has changed substantially over the past decade, with new residential towers, a growing office presence and a downtown that now functions in the evening as well as the day.
It offers what the island does not: new construction, condominium living, and a price of entry that is a different order of magnitude — while keeping the island, the airport and the beaches within a few minutes. That combination is why so much of the region's recent growth has landed here.
The market is uneven by design, because so much of it is new. Buildings differ sharply in service model, water outlook and how the surrounding blocks are likely to develop, so what is next door and what is approved nearby are worth establishing early.
