464 Fern Street

The Residences at 464 Fern Street is a proposed 25-story, roughly 316-foot luxury residential tower by Related Ross on a 2.64-acre full block in Downtown West Palm Beach, bounded by South Dixie Highway, South Quadrille Boulevard, Fern Street and Gardenia Street. Related Ross bought the site for $55 million. Designed by Roger Ferris + Partners, the tower would hold 194 residences in two- to four-bedroom layouts, plus about 4,343 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and 486 parking spaces in a multi-level podium that partly uses mechanical parking. The exterior is mostly glass, framed by white horizontal floor plates and vertical bands, with rounded corners and stacked curved terraces at the ends of the building. The parking podium is a rounded volume wrapped in a perforated screen and topped by a landscaped, palm-lined amenity deck. Amenities sit on the fifth floor and include a lap pool, an outdoor bar, landscaped lounges, a fitness center and a game room. At street level are the residential lobby, a drop-off court, the commercial space, and a landscaped garden plaza with public art facing South Dixie Highway. The design replaces an earlier, unbuilt Arquitectonica-designed plan for the same block from 13th Floor Investments, Wexford Real Estate Investors and L&L Holding Company. Roger Ferris + Partners also designed Shorecrest, another Related Ross tower nearby, which places 464 Fern Street within Stephen Ross's growing portfolio of luxury residences in downtown West Palm Beach. The project is under review with the City of West Palm Beach.
