Mr. C or Banyan Tree: two West Palm Beach towers, two years apart
Mr. C starts at $1.4 million, with 146 residences and 2027 delivery. Banyan Tree starts at $1.8 million, with 88 residences and a 2029 date. Downtown buyers are choosing between a sooner, larger building and a later, smaller one with bigger homes.

As of November 10, 2026, Haute Residence’s project pages list Mr. C Residences West Palm Beach from $1.4 million, with 146 residences and 2027 delivery, and Banyan Tree Residences from $1.8 million, with 88 residences and 2029 delivery. Those are not official developer prices. Verified HOA figures were not available and are omitted.
Downtown West Palm Beach now has two branded towers whose first homes are priced $400,000 apart. One carries the Cipriani family’s Mr. C name. The other carries Banyan Tree’s resort brand.
On paper they look close. They are not. The gap is in timing, in scale and in the size of the homes. One building is larger and listed for 2027. The other is smaller, listed for 2029, and its residences start bigger.
A wider survey already exists: West Palm Beach branded residences: Mandarin Oriental, Ritz-Carlton, Banyan Tree and Mr. C. This article stays on Mr. C versus Banyan Tree only: price, timing, size, brand service, and what can and cannot yet be said about HOA costs. Figures are from each project’s Haute Residence building page, checked November 10, 2026, unless another source is dated. Official project sites were checked the same day. The Banyan Tree project URL resolved to a parking page, and the Mr. C site did not yield a readable from-price, so prices here are Haute Residence’s published figures, not official developer pricing.
Mr. C: sooner keys, a bigger building
Mr. C Residences West Palm Beach is listed from $1.4M, with pricing last updated in August 2026, and delivery in 2027. The tower rises 27 stories with 146 residences, from about 830 to 2,700 square feet, in one- to three-bedroom layouts plus penthouses. Terra Group is the developer, with architecture by Arquitectonica and interiors by Meyer Davis. Its address is on Okeechobee Boulevard downtown; Haute Residence’s complete guide lists 327 Okeechobee Boulevard, from the developer fact sheet. The brand promise is Cipriani-family Mr. C hospitality, a signature restaurant and personalized service.

The timing needs a careful read. Haute Residence’s project page lists the tower as pre-construction, with sales now open. Other Haute Residence coverage, including the complete 2026 guide (updated November 6, 2026) and the four-brand comparison, describes it as under construction. Those later status lines are not substituted for the project page. For a buyer, Mr. C is the nearer date and the larger community. Ask for the current construction schedule and the completion date written into the contract.
Banyan Tree: a later date, and more room per home

Banyan Tree Residences West Palm Beach is listed from $1.8M, with pricing last updated in August 2026. Its project page also publishes a range to $6M and bedroom-band figures; confirm them on a dated sheet. Delivery is listed for 2029, and the project is in pre-construction. The tower at 400 Hibiscus St. rises 26 stories with 88 residences, from about 1,078 to 4,103 square feet, in one- to four-bedroom layouts plus penthouses.
Mast Capital and Curated JCZM Development are developing it in collaboration with Banyan Group, with architecture by OMA and interiors by Yabu Pushelberg. The brand promise is resort-branded living with spa, concierge and wellness programming. For a buyer, Banyan Tree is the smaller, roomier building, with the longer wait. More on the design is in Inside Banyan Tree Residences West Palm Beach.
Banyan Tree’s start date has its own paper trail. Haute Residence’s October 23, 2026 construction-start story attributes a 2027 expected construction start to a single dated outlet report, and notes official materials on the land closing and sales launch. That story also records a City of West Palm Beach Plans & Plats Review Committee agenda dated March 12, 2026, describing a 25-story, 86-unit request, against the official 26-story, 88-residence program. A construction start is not a delivery date. The city’s site returned an access error on November 10, so the city record could not be re-checked that day; the agenda detail stands as already published and sourced in that story. Confirm current timing in the contract and with the city record.

What neither tower has published: HOA costs
No current, document-level HOA or estimated operating-budget figures for either tower were verified. Those amounts are omitted. Request the estimated operating budget, reserves and any hotel or club fees with the offering documents.
How this differs from the four-brand survey
The four-brand article surveys Mr. C, Banyan Tree, the Ritz-Carlton Residences and The Residences at Mandarin Oriental together. Mandarin Oriental is mentioned here only as part of that existing survey, not as a third comparison. This page is the two-tower, downtown entry-tier contrast: $1.4M, 2027 and 146 residences against $1.8M, 2029 and 88 residences, plus the timing and HOA questions above.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the four-brand West Palm Beach comparison?
No. That existing article surveys four branded towers. This page compares only Mr. C Residences and Banyan Tree Residences.
What from-prices does Haute Residence publish for the two towers?
Mr. C Residences from $1.4 million and Banyan Tree Residences from $1.8 million, each with pricing last updated in August 2026 on its Haute Residence project page. Those are not official developer prices. Request a current dated sheet.
What delivery years are listed?
Mr. C Residences: 2027. Banyan Tree Residences: 2029. Confirm the contract dates; a reported 2027 construction start for Banyan Tree is not the same as delivery.
How do the residence counts and sizes compare?
Haute Residence lists 146 residences of about 830 to 2,700 square feet at Mr. C, and 88 residences of about 1,078 to 4,103 square feet at Banyan Tree.
Is Mr. C Residences West Palm Beach under construction?
Haute Residence’s project page, checked November 10, 2026, lists pre-construction and sales now open. Other Haute Residence pages describe construction progress; those lines are not substituted for the project page. Confirm the current schedule in the documents.
