Originally built in 1925 in the Southland Park section of West Palm Beach, 221 Monroe Drive is a Mediterranean residence taken down to the studs and undergoing a full-scale transformation by CBG Developers, Gengler Architects, and SMR Consulting. The project nearly doubles the original footprint and carries an approved historic property tax exemption, a distinction that offers significant savings potential against neighboring non-historic new construction.

Architecture & Construction
The design team has conceived a property that retains the 1925 Mediterranean character (bougainvillea-framed entryways, picture windows, courtyard proportions) while delivering an entirely new interior built with contemporary materials and finishes. The main house will deliver just under 5,000 square feet of living space, with a 410-square-foot detached guest suite and a pool cabana adding to the total program. The property is currently under construction with customization options available to the buyer.
Interior Program
The main residence is configured with five bedrooms and four and a half baths. Arrival begins through a fountain-centered courtyard scaled for entertaining. The second-floor suite functions as a self-contained retreat with its own kitchenette, washer and dryer, and a private balcony overlooking the rear grounds, suitable for extended-stay guests or family.
Outdoor Living & Grounds
The backyard is anchored by a saltwater pool flanked by four towering palms on the 0.29-acre lot. The pool cabana includes an outdoor shower, kitchen, bathroom, and lounging area designed for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The front courtyard, centered on a fountain, is positioned as a secondary gathering space suited to cocktail-scale events.
Location & Access
The property sits steps from the Intracoastal Waterway and the renowned Antique Row district. The surrounding corridor from Northwood to SoSo continues to add dining, shopping, and entertainment options, placing 221 Monroe at the center of that growth.
