Mr. C Residences

Yes. Fifty-seven Resort Residences on floors 2 through 8, designated “Hotel Residences,” are eligible for the Mr. C hotel rental program. These units are furnished to hotel specifications by Meyer Davis and Mr. C, and are managed as part of the hotel’s room inventory when the owner is not in residence.

Owners of Hotel Residence units should be aware that Florida law prohibits homestead exemption on hotel-condo units enrolled in a rental program. This has meaningful property tax implications compared to traditional condominium ownership.

Upper-floor residences (floors 8 through 27) are not part of the hotel program and operate as standard condominiums. Revenue projections and management fee structures are available through the developer’s sales team. For buyers evaluating rental income potential across different buildings, our condos page provides building-by-building context. For tax planning, consult a Florida-licensed CPA familiar with hotel-condo structures.

The building maintains complete separation between hotel and residential operations. Hotel guests and residents use separate arrivals, separate lobbies, and separate elevator banks. The condominium has three dedicated elevators reserved for residents only.

The private 8th-floor amenity deck is restricted to condominium owners and is not accessible to hotel guests. The three Bellini dining venues are shared between hotel guests and residents, though the Bellini Rooftop Lounge operates as a private venue.

This separation model mirrors the structure at Mr. C Coconut Grove. Some competing hotel-condo projects in the market share lobby and elevator access between hotel guests and residents. For buyers comparing these structures, our new developments page covers separation protocols across active projects. See also our West Palm Beach condos index for traditional condominium alternatives.

Comparable branded hotel-condo developments in South Florida typically assess between $1.50 and $3.00 per square foot per month, though actual fees at Mr. C will depend on the final budget adopted by the condominium association. One pre-delivery broker estimate cites $2.19 per square foot per month .

Monthly assessments at branded developments typically exceed those at traditional condominiums. The additional cost reflects hotel staffing, food and beverage operations, and the full-service amenity program. Buyers should model these costs against comparable buildings when evaluating total cost of ownership.

Mr. C Residences is the first branded luxury development in West Palm Beach, which distinguishes it from the traditional condominium projects in the market. The Cipriani brand provides an integrated hospitality layer, including dining, room service, and hotel-managed rental options, that non-branded buildings do not offer.

In terms of price per square foot, Mr. C positions between the waterfront towers north of Okeechobee Boulevard (such as The Bristol) and more conventional downtown projects. The unit sizes (830–2,200 SF) are generally smaller than competing buildings, reflecting the hotel-residence hybrid format.

The branded service model and hotel rental program serve a different buyer profile than traditional condominiums. Our new developments page provides side-by-side comparisons of every active project in Palm Beach County.

At a similar price range, The Berkeley Palm Beach (193 residences, from $1.9M) offers Clear Lake waterfront and larger floor plans with family-oriented amenities but no hotel services or dining program. Olara (275 residences, from $1.7M) provides Intracoastal waterfront, a private marina, a Josu00e9 Andru00e9s restaurant, and 80,000 SF of amenities without the hotel component. Mr. C’s distinguishing factor is the integrated Cipriani hospitality layer and rental income potential through the hotel program.

The building includes three Bellini-branded dining venues operated by the Cipriani family. Bellini Café, located on the ground floor, is modeled after a classic Italian pasticceria and is open to the public. Bellini Restaurant, on the 25th floor, serves Italian cuisine with views of Palm Beach Island and the Atlantic.

The Bellini Rooftop Lounge operates as a private venue with direct views across the Intracoastal. Residents also have access to 24-hour room service, in-residence dining for private events, and event catering managed by the hotel’s food and beverage team.

Unlike developments that lease ground-floor space to third-party restaurant operators, Mr. C operates its dining venues in-house through the Cipriani brand. For buyers who prioritize on-site dining, our new developments page notes food and beverage offerings at each project. See also our West Palm Beach condos index for buildings with restaurant tenants.

Property taxes at Mr. C Residences are assessed at the Palm Beach County millage rate, which varies by assessed value and applicable exemptions. Florida has no state income tax.

Buyers who plan to use their unit as a primary residence may qualify for Florida’s homestead exemption, which caps annual assessed value increases at 3% and provides a $50,000 exemption from taxable value. However, units enrolled in the Mr. C hotel rental program (floors 2–8) are not eligible for homestead exemption under Florida law.

For buyers purchasing through an entity (LLC or trust), homestead eligibility depends on the ownership structure. We recommend consulting a Florida-licensed tax attorney before closing.
