For residents, the project includes a lush garden and yoga lawn, a state-of-the-art fitness center, Pilates and yoga studio, a flora-filled pool deck with a swimming pool, hot tub, day cabana and lounges, along with planned boat-dock and anticipated 4-5 boat slips. For the community, there will be a pedestrian plaza along Flagler Drive with a hydration station for people and pets, a commercial pet grooming location and a landscaped pedestrian pathway that connects Washington Road and Flagler Drive.
Will there be any changes to the local infrastructure, and what amenities will accompany the walkways?

Yes, the project includes significant improvements to open public spaces, such as a pedestrian walkway connecting Washington Road and South Flagler Drive. This walkway will feature well-lit areas, 24-hour security monitoring, and gated access from dusk to sunset for neighborhood residents. Additionally, the site will offer a pedestrian plaza with benches and a hydration station for both people and pets along South Flagler Drive. The project will also implement an enhanced drainage system designed to improve water management and support the drainage needs of neighboring buildings.
Have you conducted a shade study for neighboring views?

We thoughtfully created the narrow design of the building to maximize views for both residents and neighboring properties. This design allows for significant light and air to flow through the site, minimizing potential impacts on adjacent properties. A shade study was conducted as part of the planning process to help determine the optimal design to best preserve views and limit any impact on neighbors.
How will parking be managed to meet the needs of residents, visitors, and staff while minimizing street impact?

The design ensures sufficient parking to meet city requirements and minimize on-street parking. The development will feature 87 parking spaces, which equate to more than two spaces per unit. A concealed two-level parking garage, with the first level positioned partially below grade and out of public view, will provide ample parking for residents, visitors and clients of the pet grooming facility. Electric vehicle charging stations and a dedicated storage room for 39 bicycles are also included. Surface parking spaces are also available for deliveries and public use. Service vehicles will be able to temporarily park near the Washington Road entry.
How will construction parking and staging be managed to minimize impact on neighborhood streets?

Construction workers will be bused in daily to minimize traffic and avoid roadblocks in the neighborhood. An on-site construction manager will oversee operations to ensure compliance. Workers parking on neighborhood streets will face penalties. Machinery and trucks will be staged on-site whenever possible to reduce disruptions. Additional details will be outlined in the construction management plan as the project progresses.
How will the development address potential strain on local public services such as schools and emergency services?

This building will have the same number of residential units as the previous one. Additionally, the project is taking part in the necessary studies to ensure that it is developed in a manner that is in line with public services.
How will the project impact traffic in the area?

The development is in compliance with Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards. This was confirmed with a traffic performance study generated during daily peak hour trips, both AM and PM.
Our neighborhood currently has many issues with visitors parking on residential streets. Can parking permits be arranged?

While we do not have the authority to implement parking permits for public streets, we are committed to helping residents address this issue. We can assist in communicating with the City of West Palm Beach to explore effective parking solutions. If parking challenges persist, we recommend reaching out to the City to learn more about the process for initiating a residential parking permit petition. We're here to support you in navigating this process and advocating for the needs of our community.
What are the landscaping buffer details, including tree height and compliance with code requirements?

The project includes a 10-foot landscaped buffer along Washington Road, exceeding the city’s code requirement of a 5-foot buffer for residential areas and a 10-foot buffer for roadways. The design features dense landscaping, with tree heights range from 6-to-22 ft., to enhance visual screening and create an attractive, natural boundary between the properties.
Will this project cause more flooding/drainage issues in the area?

Actually, this project will dramatically improve drainage in the area. The drainage system for the site and nearby roadway along Flager Drive is being designed to reduce the impacts of heavy rains, King Tides and rising sea levels that have caused periodic flooding.
Will the foundation construction be safe for the adjacent buildings and environment?

Yes, the foundation construction using the Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) method will be safe for adjacent buildings and the environment. This innovative method eliminates the need for heavy vibratory equipment and dewatering, which significantly reduces the risk of vibrations and soil displacement that could affect nearby structures. Since DSM uses a vibrationless system, it minimizes the potential for structural damage or disturbances to adjacent buildings that could occur with traditional foundation construction methods. Additionally, by not requiring dewatering, the DSM method helps protect the water table, reducing the risk of water-related environmental impacts. It also minimizes carbon emissions because it eliminates the need for continuous pumping equipment, contributing to a more environmentally friendly construction process. The reduced noise pollution from not using vibratory equipment further enhances the safety and comfort of the surrounding environment. Overall, DSM offers a safer and more sustainable alternative to traditional foundation construction.
How will the project address environmental concerns?

The development team includes technical experts who will ensure the project will meet or exceed all environmental requirements.
Will there be a lot of dust and debris from the construction?

We have a comprehensive construction management plan designed to minimize dust, manage debris, and maintain a safe and orderly site with minimal disruption to the surrounding community. This includes effective screening around the construction area to contain any potential impact. Once construction begins, we will share the contact information for our construction manager, who will be available to promptly address any questions or concerns you may have throughout the construction phase.
How will the project address drainage, noise from ventilation, and foundation depth?

The project includes enhanced stormwater management plans to ensure proper drainage, including the use of French drains where necessary. Service areas are designed to minimize noise and visibility impacts, ensuring that ventilation systems will not create significant disturbances. Additionally, the foundation will be designed to meet the site’s requirements, with specific details provided in the construction plans to ensure stability and proper integration with the surrounding area.
What safety measures will this project include?

We prioritize the safety of the residents and community and will provide security, including 24-hour surveillance on the property and pedestrian pathway. This walkway will feature well-lit areas, 24-hour security monitoring, and gated access from dusk to sunset for neighborhood residents.
What is the current status of property ownership, and what details are available regarding the current owners and residents?

We have agreements in place with all existing homeowners at the location, with the completion of all closings expected by mid-2025. However, details regarding purchase prices, buyout arrangements, or specific closing dates are confidential and cannot be disclosed at this time.
How will the project affect property values in the immediate area?

This project is expected to boost nearby property values. Additionally, upon completion the project will deliver $2.7M in tax revenues to the City of West Palm Beach annually, compared to $46,000 today. This can be used to help fund public services and areas.
Will there be affordable housing included in the development?

While this is considered a luxury residential project, it will offer an array of pricing options based on the floor plans and level.
How will the project be financed, and what are the potential associated risks?

A well-established and reputable development team is funding the project through completely private means.
How can local residents stay informed about the project?

We are committed to keeping local residents well-informed throughout the duration of the project. We will provide regular updates on our plans, construction schedule, and any potential impacts. Once construction begins, detailed information will be available through our construction manager on our website.
