Site Work Begins on 8-Story Office Complex off PGA Boulevard
Palm Beach Gardens, FL · October 12, 2026
Survey flags are fluttering along RCA Center Drive this morning after a breezy autumn weekend. Take note of a few Beeline lane shifts before you ease into your Monday commute.
The Lead
Sitework and perimeter fencing have officially gone up at 11200 RCA Center Drive as Gatsby Florida mobilizes on The Palm, an eight-story commercial project backed by a fresh $118.6 million construction loan. The 200,000-square-foot development marks the first major speculative Class AA office build along the corridor in years, reflecting sustained corporate migration northward from downtown West Palm Beach. Tucked between Interstate 95 and Legacy Place, the complex also introduces 30,000 square feet of ground-floor dining and retail, anchored by an 838-space structured parking garage equipped with electric-vehicle chargers. For surrounding neighborhoods, the influx of daytime professionals promises to alter midday traffic patterns along RCA Center Drive and PGA Boulevard. General contractor Hedrick Brothers Construction expects structural work to carry through late 2027, with the developer opening initial tenant leasing talks this winter.
