Before You Buy at the Ritz-Carlton Residences, West Palm Beach

Where the Project Stands

The building page carries the project's short paper trail. October 2024 brought the planning board's approval, the financing closed, and work started in February 2026. Our story of the project covers the developers and the concept in full. For a buyer the stage matters more than the story: deposits here fund a building already rising, staged against construction milestones until the closing arrives.

The developer venture sells the building through its own sales team. Buyer representation sits on your side of that table. The developer pays our fee at this project, so our advice costs you nothing. Our county guide to new construction purchases holds the general mechanics, and the calendar below applies them to this tower.

Fifteen Days That Matter

Florida's statute gives the buyer of a new condominium fifteen days, once the contract is signed and the documents are in hand, to cancel without penalty or negotiation. Once the window closes, the developer's agreement controls nearly everything that follows. Spend the days on the papers that govern. The unit plan, the square footage and the specification schedule attached to the contract are binding. The renderings and finish samples are marketing.

Read the outside completion date and its remedies with your attorney, because that clause matters more than the marketed year. Title belongs on the same fifteen day clock, and our Florida property holding guide maps the structures for counsel to tailor.

The Assessment Question

The service layer is the purchase's defining promise, and it arrives as a monthly line item. Projected assessments have not been published. Branded residences across South Florida run to higher assessments than unbranded peers, since the fee pays for brand standard staffing, training and licensing along with reserves and insurance. Cove Club membership rides with ownership, and that private waterside club sets its own terms. Ask us for the developer's projected budget on any line you are weighing, because that number belongs in your arithmetic before the window closes.

Two more costs start at closing rather than at contract. Dues, taxes and insurance begin when you take title, so budget them from the delivery date. Our county property tax guide covers the assessment reset that follows any new construction closing.

Rentals, Resale and the Contract

Two provisions deserve reading even if you never expect to use them. Rental policy lives in the condominium declaration, which is typically finalized closer to closing. Branded projects in the region have historically permitted rentals with minimum lease terms, and the version that binds this building arrives with its documents. Assignment is the second. Many developers restrict resale before closing, so if flexibility matters, confirm the position in writing before signing.

On resale itself the honest statement is short. No resale record exists yet, because the building has not delivered. What a residence here is worth at delivery will be set by the market at that time, not by the contract price paid today.

What Is Published Now

Availability runs on two tracks. The open feed carries three published residences this week, in the table below with their pages linked. The developer releases the rest through the sales gallery at Royal Poinciana Plaza, over the water in Palm Beach, where pricing moves as lines sell. A gallery visit answers for current availability. The written agreement that follows is what binds.

What Else the Money Buys

This budget has neighbors, and seeing them sharpens the decision. Olara up the street opened from a reported $1.7M with resort amenities and no flag. Alba delivered in 2026 and already trades on a recorded ledger. Mandarin Oriental in Northwood asks a longer wait for a rival brand, and Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach Gardens puts the same flag on a marina instead of a tower. The pipeline page holds the full field, and the developer's official site carries the project's current program.
