Integra, Huizenga Secure Approval for $2B Rybovich Marina Redevelopment in West Palm

Key Points

• West Palm Beach’s Planning Board approved the first phase of the Rybovich Marina redevelopment, including two condo towers totaling 259 units.

• Once completed, the four-tower master plan will deliver 660 residential units and over 135,000 square feet of commercial, office, and amenity space.

• The tallest tower will reach 461 feet, becoming the highest building in West Palm Beach to date.

First Phase Greenlit: Two Towers, 259 Units, Record Heights

The West Palm Beach Planning Board has approved the initial phase of the massive Rybovich Marina redevelopment led by Integra Investments and the Huizenga family. This milestone follows a September 16 hearing and allows construction to begin on the first two towers of a four-building, multi-billion-dollar mixed-use project.

The approved towers include:

• A 36-story, 461-foot tower with 112 condos and 181 parking spaces

• A 34-story, 422-foot tower with 147 condos and a 681-space garage

This phase alone brings 259 new luxury condos to the waterfront, with two additional towers in later phases expected to add 401 more units. At full build-out, the project will offer 660 units across four high-rise buildings.

Expanding the Mixed-Use Program

Beyond residential, the revised site plan outlines:

• 20,691 square feet of office space

• 37,445 square feet of retail

• 14,376 square feet of restaurants

• 12,750 square feet of crew amenities

• 3,355 square feet of marine storage

• 60,937 square feet for a semi-private club, open to non-residents

The development also includes 121 boat slips, further solidifying the project’s maritime positioning.

Public Promenade and Mobility Features

A key component of the updated plan is an expansive waterfront promenade along the Intracoastal Waterway. Designed to promote walkability and community engagement, the pedestrian experience will be enhanced through:

• Widened sidewalks and podium setbacks along North Flagler Drive

• Landscaping and public realm improvements

• Electric vehicle charging stations, bike-share and golf cart parking, carpool zones, and a new bus stop

• Redesigned parking structures, with heights reduced from 75 to 50 feet to limit visual impact

City Pushback: Height and Retail Concerns

Despite approval, city planning staff raised objections to several elements of the plan:

• The increase in building heights beyond original guidelines

• The shift of all retail frontage from North Flagler Drive to the internal promenade

• The high concentration of private marina amenities over public-facing active uses

Current regulations require at least 25 percent of North Flagler frontage to be allocated to active uses, a benchmark the current proposal does not yet meet.

What’s Next

With Planning Board approval secured, the Rybovich Marina project now heads to the City Commission for final review. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, this development is one of the most ambitious undertakings in West Palm Beach and could redefine the city’s skyline and waterfront activation.
