The 10 Best New Developments North of Miami: Palm Beach Gardens to Hillsboro Beach, Ranked
The best new construction condos north of Miami right now are Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach, South Flagler House in West Palm Beach, and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Palm Beach Gardens — followed by seven more towers spanning Pompano Beach to the Gardens. Our ranking weighs location, developer track record, design pedigree, amenities, and value.
The corridor from Palm Beach Gardens down to Hillsboro Beach has become South Florida’s most consequential luxury battleground. Wall Street’s Palm Beach County migration, a wave of five-star hospitality flags, and a shortage of true waterfront land have pushed a generation of projects north of Miami’s traditional borders — a shift we chart in our West Palm Beach luxury new developments guide.
Methodology, stated plainly: this is an editorial ranking, not a statistical one. We weigh five factors — location and land quality, developer track record, design pedigree, amenity program, and value relative to the local market. Every hard figure below carries a named source and as-of date; where pricing is unpublished, we say so.
Which projects lead the ranking — and why?
Rosewood Residences Hillsboro Beach ranks first on irreplaceable land: 12 ocean-to-Intracoastal acres, 92 residences, and a rare Rosewood flag. South Flagler House ranks second on demand — over $1 billion in sales, per Manhattan Miami’s listing as of August 2026. Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach Gardens ranks third on its 14-acre marina-front campus.
Rosewood, by Related Group and Dezer Development, topped out in February 2026 with pricing from $5.95 million and delivery targeted for early 2027, per the developers’ announcement carried by Multi-Housing News. Our complete Rosewood Hillsboro Beach guide covers the project in depth.
South Flagler House — Related Ross’s two 28-story Robert A.M. Stern-designed limestone towers on South Flagler Drive — is the commercial phenomenon of the cycle, with 108 residences priced from $5.9 million and reported sales exceeding $1 billion (Manhattan Miami, August 2026). The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Palm Beach Gardens, by Catalfumo Companies, pairs 106 condominiums with a 29-slip marina and 1,040 feet of Intracoastal frontage; Commercial Observer reported in May 2026 that the developer secured a $401 million Northwind Group loan to carry the project to its late-2026 completion, with units priced from $4 million to over $10 million.
What are the best new construction condos in Palm Beach Gardens?
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Palm Beach Gardens is the definitive answer — the city’s first true five-star branded residential project. Catalfumo’s 14-acre waterfront campus holds 106 condominiums in three seven-story buildings priced from $4 million to over $10 million, with completion expected later in 2026, per Commercial Observer (May 2026).
The project’s 20,000-square-foot amenity package includes a waterfront restaurant, spa, wellness facilities, pickleball, and the 29-boat-slip marina — a boater’s program no West Palm tower can replicate. Commercial Observer reported presales at 35% as of May 2026, meaning selection remains unusually good for a project this close to delivery.
North County buyers comparing flags should read our head-to-head on the Ritz-Carlton PBG vs. Mandarin Oriental vs. Banyan Tree — the Gardens project’s low-rise, marina-front format is the differentiator.
Which West Palm Beach towers made the list?
Five: South Flagler House (No. 2), Mandarin Oriental Residences (No. 4), Olara (No. 5), Mr. C Residences (No. 8), and Alba Palm Beach (No. 9). Together they span entry points from $1.6 million to $5.9 million and deliveries from 2026 to the end of the decade — the deepest luxury bench of any market north of Miami.
Mandarin Oriental Residences, launched by Great Gulf in February 2026 per The Real Deal, brings Moshe Safdie architecture to a 31-story, 87-unit tower on North Flagler Drive, priced from $3.5 million with construction expected to start in 2027. Olara, Savanna’s 26-story Intracoastal project at 1919 North Flagler, offers 275 residences from $2 million (Condo Vultures) — our complete Olara buyer’s guide tracks its path to delivery.
Mr. C Residences, the Cipriani family’s 27-story tower by Terra and Sympatico, was over 70% pre-sold by mid-2025 with pricing from $1.6 million and 2027 completion, per Manhattan Miami’s project listing (August 2026). Alba Palm Beach — 55 boutique residences on the Northwood waterfront — topped off in April 2025 with remaining units from just under $3 million and completion expected in early 2026, per Florida YIMBY; as of this writing it is the nearest-term move-in on this list.
How do the Pompano Beach and Boca Raton entries compare?
Pompano Beach lands two branded towers: Waldorf Astoria Residences (No. 6), which topped out in May 2026 with 2027 completion per Florida YIMBY, and The Ritz-Carlton Residences (No. 7), tracking toward 2026 delivery. Boca Raton’s Glass House (No. 10) is downtown Boca’s first modern glass condominium, delivering 2027.
The Waldorf Astoria — Related Group and Merrimac Ventures’ 92-unit, 28-story oceanfront tower — is the first standalone residential Waldorf anywhere, more than 70% pre-sold when it landed a $160 million Bank OZK construction loan, per The Real Deal (June 2025). The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Pompano Beach offers the corridor’s widest ladder: 205 residences across two towers averaging $1,847 per square foot, per Condo Blackbook figures cited by Florida YIMBY (October 2025).
Glass House Boca Raton rounds out the list: 28 residences over nine stories at 280 East Palmetto Park Road, priced from $2.7 million, more than one-third sold, with a $70 million Maxim Capital construction loan closed in March 2026 and completion expected in 2027, per ConstructionOwners.com.

Why does Rosewood Hillsboro Beach rank first?
Land and scarcity. Twelve ocean-to-Intracoastal acres, only 92 residences, a rare Rosewood residential flag, and a Related Group–Dezer Development partnership. The building topped out in February 2026 and targets early-2027 delivery, per Multi-Housing News.
What is the most affordable project on this list?
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Pompano Beach carries the lowest verified entry point, near $1 million per brokerage listings as of August 2026, with the project averaging $1,847 per square foot per Condo Blackbook figures cited by Florida YIMBY. Mr. C Residences West Palm Beach follows from $1.6 million.

Alba Palm Beach, which topped off in April 2025 with completion expected in early 2026 per Florida YIMBY, followed by The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Pompano Beach and Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach Gardens, both tracking toward 2026 delivery per Florida YIMBY and Commercial Observer respectively.
How was this ranking determined?
By editorial judgment, weighing five factors: location and land quality, developer track record, design pedigree, amenity program, and value relative to the local market. It is not a statistical index, and reasonable buyers could reorder it based on their own priorities.
Is West Palm Beach or Palm Beach Gardens the better buy?
West Palm Beach offers more choice and a walkable downtown fueled by the financial-services migration; Palm Beach Gardens offers lower density, marina access, and a country-club lifestyle. Five of our ten ranked projects are in West Palm, but the Gardens’ single entry ranks third.
Are these prices final?
No. Pre-construction pricing moves with sales velocity, and several projects on this list have raised prices between releases. Every figure here carries its source and as-of date; confirm current availability directly with each sales gallery before making decisions.
What are the deposit requirements for these projects?
South Florida pre-construction contracts typically require staged deposits totaling 20 to 50 percent before closing, varying by project and phase. See our guide to pre-construction deposits in South Florida for structures, escrow rules, and negotiation points before you contract.
From the Gardens to Hillsboro Mile, this corridor is producing the strongest new-construction slate in Florida outside Miami proper. Track every project, price release, and delivery update in our master directory of South Florida new developments.
