The neighborhood
The West Palm Beach waterfront condo corridor is the Intracoastal-facing line of high-rises along Flagler Drive, from downtown north to the city's northern end. It is dominated by ultra-luxury towers and is the mainland's most expensive skyline.
Established buildings include The Bristol (1100 South Flagler Drive, the city's record-holder), Plaza of the Palm Beaches (525 and 529 South Flagler), One Watermark Place (622 North Flagler), Villa Lofts (1617 North Flagler), and 5400 North Flagler. The new pipeline includes South Flagler House (two 28-story towers, about 108 residences), Forte on Flagler, Ritz-Carlton Residences (1717 North Flagler, 137 units), Shorecrest (1901 North Flagler, from about $3.2 million), and Edgeworth (from about $2.5 million).
Reported 2025-2026 data: luxury inventory along the corridor trades from roughly $2 million to $70 million plus; the Flagler-Waterfront District carries a median asking price of about $3.6 million with new-construction pricing around $2,500 to $5,000-plus per square foot. The Bristol lists from about $13.5 million to $78.9 million, and Ritz-Carlton Residences set a record pre-sale at $14.5 million in April 2026.
