A 1925 Mediterranean residence in the Southland Park section of West Palm Beach is undergoing a full gut renovation and expansion by CBG Developers with architecture by Gengler Architects and project management by SMR Consulting. The original structure has been taken down to the studs and is being rebuilt to nearly double its footprint, with a main house of just under 5,000 square feet, a 410-square-foot detached guest suite, and a pool cabana. The property has been approved for a historic property tax exemption, a designation that provides meaningful long-term savings relative to neighboring non-historic new construction.

Architecture & Design
Gengler Architects designed the expansion to retain the Old Spanish and Mediterranean character of the 1925 original while introducing contemporary spatial planning. The entry sequence moves through a fountain-centered courtyard framed by bougainvillea, with picture windows set into the facade. The intent is a structure that reads as a period home from the street but functions as new construction throughout, with all systems, framing, and finishes replaced.
Interior Program
The main house is configured with five bedrooms and four and one-half bathrooms across two floors. The second-floor suite includes a private kitchenette, in-unit washer and dryer, and a balcony overlooking the rear grounds, designed to function as a self-contained guest retreat. Customization options remain available for buyers engaging during the construction phase; finishes and specifications have not been finalized.
Outdoor Living & Grounds
The rear yard centers on a saltwater pool flanked by four mature palm trees on the 0.29-acre lot. The pool cabana is outfitted with an outdoor shower, kitchen, half bath, and lounging area, creating a second entertaining zone separate from the main house. The front courtyard with its fountain provides a formal arrival and is scaled for social gatherings.
Location & Access
The property sits steps from the Intracoastal Waterway and the established Antique Row corridor along South Dixie Highway. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately a five-minute drive west. Downtown West Palm Beach and its Clematis and Flagler waterfront districts are minutes north, and the Royal Park Bridge connects to Palm Beach Island in under ten minutes. Southland Park is positioned between the SoSo (South of Southern) neighborhood and the commercial growth corridor extending from Northwood south, an area experiencing concentrated investment in retail, dining, and residential development. The historic tax exemption approval is a practical differentiator here: it locks in assessed value benefits that pure new construction on adjacent lots cannot access, which is a meaningful consideration given the pace of reassessment in this zip code.
