Nora House Is the First Chance to Own the Nora District

Every other new condominium in West Palm Beach sells a building. Nora House sells a neighborhood, the warehouse blocks of the Nora District, and it is the first chance anyone has had to own inside them. The Ronto Group and its partners plan 117 residences on 11 floors at 1105 North Dixie Highway, with launch asking prices stated from $2M to $6.5M. The district made the address. The building makes it ownable.

A Neighborhood Before a Building

The Nora District is the city's warehouse revival, a run of low industrial blocks along North Dixie Highway being worked back into streets people use. The district tells its own story at norawpb.com, and a neighborhood that markets itself is a neighborhood with plans. What the revival lacked until this year was a way to own any of it. Renters and visitors had doors in. Owners did not.

Nora House changes that as the district's first condominium offered for sale. The claim sounds like marketing until you try to shop against it, because no second option exists on these blocks. Buyers who want a deed in Nora start and end at the same sales gallery.

The Building in Brief

The Ronto Group leads the project, working alongside NDT Development and Place Projects, with Wheelock Street Capital completing the team. Swedroe Architecture designed the building and Lillian Wu Studio has the interiors. The plan calls for 117 residences on 11 floors, in two to four bedroom layouts, above about 18,900 square feet of commercial space at the base. Sales run through Douglas Elliman Development Marketing, and the developer states the launch range at $2M to $6.5M.

Eleven Against Twenty Eight

The Flagler corridor's new towers rise 26 and 28 stories and sell the view across the water. Nora House stops at 11 and sells what sits at its own front door. South Flagler House and Edgeworth each run 28 floors on the corridor's most watched street, and Olara runs 26 a little to the north. Against them the height here is the argument. Owners live at street level inside a district rather than above one.

Mid rise scale also changes what the market later measures. A tower's resales trade on floor and exposure. A district mid rise trades on how the surrounding blocks matured, which is a different bet with a different clock. The county pipeline holds sixteen projects, and this is the only one built around that wager.

The Roof and the Street

The published amenity program sits on the roof: a pool, a bowling alley, pickleball and a golf simulator, with six guest suites for the people owners bring with them. Below it the ground floor hands the district about 18,900 square feet of new commercial space. Between those two layers sits the pitch. The building keeps its own program modest because the neighborhood is meant to supply the rest.

What First Means

Groundbreaking is targeted for the middle of 2027 and completion for 2029, which makes every number here a launch number. No closing has recorded and none will for years. The reward for moving first is choice of line at stated prices, in the one building the district will measure everything else against. The cost is time, plus a neighborhood whose finished shape no contract can promise. Our companion guide walks the diligence that bet deserves, and the pipeline page tracks the field around it.

Bottom Line

Nora House converts a neighborhood story into something a buyer can hold: 117 residences on 11 floors, stated from $2M at launch, keys targeted for 2029. The roof supplies what the district cannot and the base gives the street 18,900 square feet back. First is the entire offer, and the district currently has no second door.

For a buyer weighing the district: Ask us for the launch sheet beside the corridor's tower pricing before you sit with the sales team. Knowing what $2M buys at street height against what it buys at altitude frames the whole decision.

Building facts, pricing and dates follow the developer's published materials as of March 2026, subject to change. The stated range of $2M to $6.5M is the developer's figure, and one March 2026 press report described the entry as the upper $1 millions. We carry the developer's figure and note the difference. No sale has recorded at Nora House, so every price on this page is a launch asking figure. Corridor tower heights and counts follow the buildings' published materials on our pipeline pages.

This is market context, not investment advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
No condominium in the Nora District has ever been offered for sale before Nora House. The district's warehouse revival has grown around renters and commercial tenants, and this project, 117 residences at 1105 North Dixie Highway, is the first deed a buyer can hold there.
The developer states a launch range of $2M to $6.5M across two to four bedroom residences. Every figure is an asking price, since no sale has recorded, and preconstruction pricing moves with each release. One press report placed the entry in the upper $1 millions, and we carry the developer's stated figure.
Groundbreaking is targeted for the middle of 2027, with completion targeted for 2029. Both dates are the developer's published targets as of the March 2026 launch and are subject to change as the project advances.
