New Dining and Office Hub Set for RCA Center Drive

Palm Beach Gardens, FL · September 14, 2026

Cool morning air off the Intracoastal eases the sting of Monday after an easygoing weekend. Settle in with your first mug — heavy equipment is gearing up along RCA Center Drive, and seasonal sign-ups are opening across town.


The Lead

Gatsby Florida has finalized an $118.6 million construction loan to break ground this month on The Palm, an eight-story office and retail complex at 11200 RCA Center Drive. Spanning five acres nestled beside Legacy Place, the project brings 200,000 square feet of Class A corporate space, 30,000 square feet of ground-floor dining and retail, and an 838-space parking deck to the city's commercial corridor.

The project marks a bold speculative bet that executive firms and wealth managers will continue migrating north from downtown West Palm Beach in search of campus-style suburban footprints. With no anchor tenants pre-signed, the developers are banking entirely on sustained regional momentum. Survey crews and security fencing are due on-site before the month is out, kicking off a two-year build scheduled to deliver finished space by 2028.

Spotlight & Story

  • Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center
    • When construction wrapped on the original 86-bed hospital in January 1966, founder John D. MacArthur and the newly elected city council clashed over bond financing. The finished facility sat eerily vacant for two years and ten months before admitting its first patient in November 1968.
