South Flagler House vs Edgeworth West Palm Beach: two Related Ross towers on the same shore

Edgeworth is denser and still open to choice of stack

South Flagler House stacks three products. Floors 5 through 9 hold 1-bedroom owner guest suites, and floors 10 through 18 the signature residences of 2 to 4 bedrooms, from 2,592 to 5,173 square feet. The penthouses on floors 25 through 28 run from 9,743 to 14,053 square feet.

Those penthouses are large enough that the city changed its zoning in March 2025 to allow two full kitchens in one dwelling, a change requested for this building. Related has not published a per-floor count. Its 105 homes across two towers imply a low average per floor, with fewer homes on the penthouse floors and more on the guest-suite floors.

Edgeworth is denser on paper. The official site lists 184 residences of 2 to 4 bedrooms across two 28-story towers with 9 penthouses, roughly 3 to 4 homes per residential floor. Every residence has a private elevator, rather than only the upper floors. Counts conflict: the launch release said 168, and trackers say 190 in towers of 28 and 32 stories.

A Planning Board amendment in October 2025 reportedly equalized the towers near 30 stories, so the recorded site plan sets the count, not the brochure. The practical difference is choice. South Flagler House has sold through most of its program, and remaining selection lies in specific lines and floors. Edgeworth is early enough to pick exposure and stack, at the cost of waiting for a building that exists only as drawings.

Edgeworth nearly doubles the club and spreads it over more owners

The South Flagler House club covers about 50,000 square feet on three floors. It holds a 25-meter lakefront lap pool with cabanas, his-and-hers spas with hydrotherapy, a salon, fitness and pilates studios and a golf simulator lounge. An indoor pickleball court, a theater, a wine room and private dining follow, with three culinary concepts. The first, Tutto Caffe, was announced in September 2026, and interiors are by Pembrooke & Ives.

Edgeworth promises more than 90,000 square feet, with the full list still to be revealed. Confirmed so far are a vitality pool and cold plunge, lap and leisure pools on a resort deck and a racquet club. A spa and fitness program with Bradford Wellness as partner, a private arrival court and a residents' lounge complete it. Interiors are by MAWD and landscape by DS Boca.

Scale cuts both ways. A racquet club and a spa of that size are real daily advantages for a household that will use them. They are also fixed costs carried by 184 owners rather than 105, and neither developer has published an operating budget.

Brokers estimate South Flagler House dues near $2.12 a square foot a month, and there is no Edgeworth estimate yet. The True cost of ownership tool on this site runs taxes, dues and insurance side by side once the estimated budget is in hand.

Read the Edgeworth ground lease before the deposit

The ground lease is the largest structural difference between the two. Family Church is leasing about 4.6 of its 9.7 acres for 99 years in a deal reported near $100 million, and the proceeds fund a new 4-story school on the rest of the campus. South Flagler House is fee simple on land Related owns.

Edgeworth is therefore a leasehold condominium with a very long but finite term. Lenders and title insurers handle leaseholds routinely in Florida. The rent schedule, escalations and reversion still belong in a lawyer's review before a deposit is paid. Neither building has published a deposit schedule.

The South Flagler House sales team says terms are not published, and Edgeworth's trackers say schedules are available on request. Under section 718.202, deposits up to 10 percent of the price must be held in escrow. Amounts above that may fund construction only if the contract allows it and the statute's conditions are met. Section 718.503 gives a 15-day cancellation right after signing or receipt of the required documents.

The Deposit planner on this site sets any gallery schedule against those rules. Taxes are identical in rate: both parcels carry the 2025 West Palm Beach stack of 20.4468 mills. A $6 million residence assessed at full value pays about $122,700 a year before homestead, and a $5.5 million residence about $112,500. Both sites lie in FEMA Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 8 feet NAVD88, with a VE strip at the seawall at South Flagler House.

The 1100 and 1300 blocks deliver about 2 years apart

South Flagler House broke ground on April 17, 2024, topped out both towers in November 2025 and is now in fit-out. The developer says residents move in during 2027, and one tracker narrows that to the third quarter. A $600 million construction loan was reported in mid-2025. At this stage, delays tend to be measured in months.

Edgeworth has announced no construction loan or groundbreaking. A March 2026 report expected construction to start in 2027 and take about 2 years, and one tracker lists the fourth quarter of 2029. The Family Church planned development was filed in April 2024, and the Planning Board recommended an amendment in October 2025. A final City Commission vote could not be confirmed in the sources opened for this article, so the recorded approval should come from the sales team.

The two sites will affect each other. North-facing homes at South Flagler House will look at an active construction site for roughly 2 years after their owners close. Edgeworth buyers will move into a finished block, with South Flagler House complete to the south and the Bristol and Trianon to the north.

Timing and title decide between the two towers

South Flagler House suits a buyer who wants to close within about a year and prefers classical architecture with a fee-simple title. It also suits a household that may need a guest suite in the same building for family or staff. Its remaining choice is narrower, and its pricing reflects certainty.

Edgeworth suits a buyer for whom price per square foot is the first filter and who will use a racquet club and a large spa daily. That buyer must be able to hold deposits until 2029 and accept a leasehold after counsel has read it.
