South Flagler House – West Palm Beach

Groundbreaking – 2024 | Completion – TBD

Having purchased the 3.4-acre site at 1355 S. Flagler Drive from Hines and the Frisbie Group this July, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen M. Ross’ Related Cos. launched sales for South Flagler House. Designed by the prestigious Robert A.M. Stern Studio (RAMSA), the waterfront project will rise as two 28-story towers, creating 108 residences. It will mark the New York-based developer’s first luxury condo project in Florida. Ross previously was trying to develop the Equinox Hotel and Residences at the historic Deauville Hotel site in North Beach, but failed to secure voter approval to increase zoning. 

Stephen Ross tapped Pembrooke & Ives, also from New York, to handle the interiors. Health and wellness-focused amenities at this two-tower community will include a 25-meter lap pool, a hot tub, a steam room and sauna, a fitness center, a Pilates studio, a yoga lawn, a pickleball court, a golf simulator, and a sports lounge. 

Other amenities will include an outdoor lounge, an event room with a catering kitchen, a media room, a wine cellar, a library, a salon, a game room, a children’s playroom, a teen lounge, plus a business center with coworking spaces.

Prices are expected to start from $5.9 million to $72.5 million, with a choice of two- to five-bedroom residences and penthouses.

It doesn’t have an associated brand for the project yet. In 2022, the developer paid $675,000 for the 0.8-acre parcel.
