West Palm Beach condo market October 2026: what is selling and what the city approved

Alba Palm Beach and Forté on Flagler. Alba, at 4714 North Flagler Drive, was completed in June 2026 at 95 percent sold, with immediate occupancy from about $2.5 million. Forté, at 1309 South Flagler Drive, was completed in 2025; its developer inventory is down to a $47.5 million penthouse, with resales from about $9.99 million. Every other new tower is still being built or planned.

On North Flagler Drive, Olara at 1919, Shorecrest at 1865 and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, West Palm Beach at 1717 are vertical. South Flagler House at 1355 South Flagler is topped out and in fit-out. Downtown, Mr. C Residences passed the 16th of 27 floors and The Berkeley Palm Beach began construction in July 2026. Edgeworth, Banyan Tree, Nora House and Maison d'Or have not started.

Resale medians are falling and new-construction prices are holding. Corcoran's third-quarter report shows the Palm Beach island condo median down 13 percent and the West Palm Beach to Lake Worth Beach median down 41 percent year over year, the latter skewed by Forté's 2025 closings. Finished Forté homes closed about 30 percent below ask in September 2026, while presold towers have raised entry prices.

The Downtown Action Committee approved Banyan Tree Residences at 400 Hibiscus Street in August, and Rosewood Residences at 2001 North Flagler Drive was approved in June. The city removed 25-story waterfront heights from its downtown master plan in September, ahead of an October 26 Commission vote. Fern Street, Arkona Court and two Live Local towers were filed but not approved.

It depends on the building. Forté on Flagler resales, Alba Palm Beach's last homes and Maison d'Or's early release can be negotiated; presold towers under construction have little inventory and have not discounted. Before choosing between a 2027 closing and a 2029 one, weigh whether the construction loan has closed and how much of the deposit sits in escrow.

Related Ross filed Residences at 464 Fern Street in June: 25 stories and 194 residences of 2 to 4 bedrooms by Roger Ferris + Partners, on a block bought for $55 million. Easton Street Capital filed a pre-application for a 25- or 26-story tower at 201 Arkona Court, with 16 full-floor residences its principal expects to price near $20 million each.

Two appeared downtown. An unidentified developer's 25-story concept at 215 Fifth Street would place 41 condominiums above 36 workforce rentals, and the city's urban design planner called it out of scale. Jeff Greene's 366-unit mass-timber MiMar at Datura Street and South Dixie Highway has not stated whether its homes will be rented or sold.

Terra and BH Group proposed two 31-story towers with 281 condominiums at 2085 North Flagler Drive, and Integra Investments closed a $322 million loan for the Safe Harbor Rybovich site in August. Rosewood Residences West Palm Beach at 2001, with 90 homes averaging about 3,382 square feet, was approved in June with a sales launch teased for the winter.

Two developer residences, 2202 and 2302, closed at $10.2 million apiece, near $2,300 a square foot. Each is about 4,440 square feet, and they had asked $14.7 million and $15.3 million. The full-floor penthouse has been marketed for nearly two years at $47.5 million, and resales list from about $9.99 million.

Forté on Flagler has 41 residences over 25 stories, with residences of 4,200 to 9,040 square feet. Half-floor 4-bedroom flow-through residences (two per floor) plus one full-floor 6-bedroom penthouse with private rooftop pool.
