The Nora District launches its first residential expansion in West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach has officially entered a new phase of urban living with the launch of its first residential offering inside the rapidly evolving Nora District.

The Ronto Group, in partnership with NDT Development, Place Projects, and Wheelock Street Capital, has launched sales for Nora House, an 11-story luxury condominium bringing 117 residences and nearly 19,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space directly into the heart of the district.

Positioned along North Railroad Avenue, the project introduces for-sale living into one of West Palm Beach's newest neighborhoods, where a growing mix of restaurants, retail, and creative office space is reshaping the downtown core.

Groundbreaking is expected in mid-2027, with completion targeted for 2029, and Douglas Elliman Development Marketing leading sales from a newly opened gallery at 955 North Railroad Avenue.

Designed by Swedroe Architecture with interiors by Lillian Wu Studio, Nora House features two- to four-bedroom residences ranging from just under 1,500 to over 2,900 square feet, along with select fourth-level terrace residences expanding up to approximately 6,700 square feet.

Homes are finished with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances, Italkraft cabinetry, wide-plank hardwood flooring, and European stone surfaces, delivering a high-end residential product aligned with the district’s design-forward identity.

Amenities are spread across multiple levels, anchored by a fourth-floor landscaped courtyard with a lap pool, spa, grilling areas, and guest suites, while the rooftop introduces a second pool, outdoor bar, fire pit lounges, yoga lawn, and pickleball courts. Indoor offerings include a full wellness spa with steam, sauna, and plunge pools, a fitness center, golf simulator, bowling alley, and social spaces designed for both private use and larger gatherings.

The Nora District is set to take another major step forward with the highly anticipated opening of The Nora Hotel later this year, adding a 201-key boutique hospitality anchor to the neighborhood, along with its signature dining experience, Pastis.

At a street level, the district has already come to life with a growing mix of tenants that are shaping its identity—from local favorite Celis Juice Bar and New York staples H&H Bagels to Juliana’s Pizza, to Loco Taqueria & Oyster Bar, Sunday Motor Co., and wellness and lifestyle concepts like Sana and Warby Parker.

An elevated sports bar concept from the team behind Sports & Rec is also on the way, with additional retail, dining, and cultural offerings continuing to come online as Nora rapidly establishes itself as one of the most dynamic new districts in West Palm Beach.
