$2 million for spec homes in golf communities to over $50 million for custom oceanfront estates. Move-in ready new builds typically price at a 15-30% premium over comparable resale, reflecting modern codes, current design, and full warranty.
Pre-construction condos: The Berkeley, South Flagler House, and Ritz-Carlton West Palm Beach range from $3 million to $50M+. See our new developments page for current availability.
Current Florida Building Code (post-2002, significantly more stringent for wind), impact windows and doors standard, modern systems, smart home infrastructure, and builder warranties (1 year whole-home, 2 years mechanical, 10 years structural).
Insurance is often the largest financial advantage: new construction above base flood elevation with full wind mitigation can reduce annual premiums by 40-60% versus older construction. The tradeoff is premium pricing and, with custom builds, a 12-24 month timeline.
The Berkeley, South Flagler House, Alba Palm Beach, Forte on Flagler, Ritz-Carlton West Palm Beach, and Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach Gardens.
Early-phase buyers typically access the lowest pricing. Availability and terms change as construction progresses. See our new developments page for current status, floor plans, and pricing on each project.
Construction costs: $500-$1,500+ per square foot depending on finishes, location, and complexity. Timeline: lot acquisition, architect, permitting (3-6 months), construction (12-24 months). Total: 18-36 months from lot to move-in.
Permitting requirements vary by municipality (Palm Beach has the most stringent architectural review). Waterfront lots require additional marine permits. The top luxury builders have waiting lists. We can help identify lots and make introductions to architects and builders.
Palm Beach County has a deep bench of luxury builders, each with a distinct specialty: some focus on oceanfront estates, others on golf community homes, modern architectural design, or large-scale custom compounds. The right builder depends on your project scope, style, location, and timeline.
Builder reputation, current project load, and subcontractor relationships directly affect construction quality and schedule. We work with buyers through the builder selection process, matching your brief to the firms best suited to deliver it. We recommend interviewing multiple builders and reviewing completed projects in person before committing.
Florida’s post-2002 codes require impact-rated windows and doors, reinforced roof-to-wall connections, and minimum roof uplift resistance. Coastal properties must comply with the CCCL (Coastal Construction Control Line) administered by Florida DEP.
Flood zone construction must meet or exceed base flood elevation, with many municipalities requiring additional elevation. These add cost but deliver insurance savings and storm resilience.
Spec homes are built by developers without a specific buyer: move-in ready, current finishes, limited customization. Custom builds are commissioned on your lot: full control over floor plan, materials, and finishes, but 18-36 months to completion.
Middle ground: selecting a spec home under construction early enough to customize finishes without affecting the structural timeline. Contact us to discuss current spec inventory and customization windows.
Staged deposits: 10-20% at contract, additional deposits at construction milestones totaling 30-50% before closing. Balance due at closing upon certificate of occupancy.
Deposits are typically held in escrow but may be developer-accessible under Chapter 718, Florida Statutes. Review the prospectus, escrow terms, and all offering documents with your attorney before executing.
New construction triggers reassessment at full market value. For buyers coming from a long-held Florida property with Save Our Homes protection, this can mean a significant tax increase.
Florida’s portability provision allows transfer of up to $500,000 of accumulated Save Our Homes benefit to a new homesteaded property. Verify eligibility through the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser.
Standard new construction warranties in Florida: 1 year for materials and workmanship, 3 years for mechanical systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), and 10 years for structural defects. Many luxury builders offer enhanced coverage beyond these minimums, and appliance manufacturers provide separate warranties.
Schedule a third-party inspection at the 11-month mark, before the 1-year warranty expires, to identify any emerging issues while the builder is still obligated to address them.
Structured wiring (Cat6/fiber), whole-home automation pre-wire (Crestron, Savant, or Control4), motorized shades, integrated security, smart HVAC zoning, LED scene lighting, and EV charging.
Top builds add dedicated server rooms, commercial-grade WiFi 6E mesh, acoustic isolation, and full backup generators with automatic transfer. Specify requirements early to avoid costly retrofit.
Location-dependent. In prime oceanfront and Palm Beach where lot value dominates, buying older and renovating can make sense; the lot premium is already capitalized. In golf communities and inland, new construction often costs less than lot plus comparable renovation.
Renovation runs $300-$800/SF, takes 12-18 months, and carries more cost-overrun risk. The insurance differential (40-60% lower for new) is a significant factor in total cost of ownership.
