Broke groundJun 7, 2026est.Correction to proposal 2026-06-07-002 — that one set status to "coming-soon," which is wrong (that bucket is for projects about to deliver/open, not ones about to start vertical). The right status as of June 2026 is "breaking-ground": vertical groundbreaking was anticipated for June 2026 per PRWeb May 2026, so they're either breaking ground now or just have. Use this status, not the one in 2026-06-07-002.

Coming soonJun 7, 2026est.Per Jake, refreshing the live Berkeley record with current 2026 info. Five fields to update: (1) status — "Announced" → "coming-soon" (vertical groundbreaking anticipated June 2026 per PRWeb May 2026); (2) start_date → "2026-06" (treat as speculative — see manual flag below); (3) delivery_date → "2028" (per Homes.com Nov 2025; PRWeb said 2029, but Homes.com 2028 is the more widely cited delivery); (4) short description — CURRENT version says "designed by Al Adelson," which is factually incorrect (Adelson is the developer; Arquitectonica is the architect, with interiors by founding principal Bernardo Fort-Brescia) — proposed replacement corrects that and surfaces the four-penthouse and Fort-Brescia interiors detail; (5) description_long — fresh full descriptor with current 193-units / 4-penthouses / 2-5BR / $2M-$10M pricing / $100M+ in pre-sales / full amenity stack (family deck + rooftop with cigar lounge/nightclub, UPLIN in-home health, golf simulator, co-working, gourmet market, emergency generator) / Australian Property Group + Sympatico developer team / Douglas Elliman sales. Three follow-up manual touches I can't do via this tool: (a) flip start_speculative to TRUE — "anticipated June 2026" is not yet developer-confirmed groundbreaking, so the speculative flag should be on; (b) add Bernardo Fort-Brescia to the architects firm-registry slot as interior designer (live record currently lists Arquitectonica only); (c) update the address to "550 S Australian Avenue" (note: original FloridaYIMBY July 2025 piece used "500" but every source since — PRWeb $100M sales release, FloridaYIMBY Sept 2025, Homes.com, BLDUP, citybiz — uses 550, so that is canonical). Also: cleanup needed — there is a redundant draft 2026-06-07-001 ("The Berkeley Palm Beach") in the Drafts queue from earlier today that should be deleted; I created it before discovering propose_project_edit. Per brain rule: deliberately omitted construction-loan details ($62.5M JVP pre-construction loan Sept 2025 + $30M WPC US site-prep loan May 2025) from public descriptor; the $100M+ pre-construction sales milestone IS included as sales velocity, not lender financing.

About the project

The Berkeley Palm Beach is a 25-story residential tower rising at 550 South Australian Avenue in downtown West Palm Beach's Clear Lake District, set just west of the Intracoastal and the CityPlace open-air complex. The building will introduce 193 luxury residences — including four penthouses — ranging from two to five bedrooms across roughly 2,500 to 4,800 square feet, with 9- to 11-foot ceilings, east- and west-facing flow-through layouts capturing sunrise and sunset exposures, oversized private terraces, Italian-crafted Snaidero kitchens, spa-style bathrooms, and integrated smart-home systems. Amenities are distributed across multiple levels: a 7th-floor family deck with pool, spa, fitness center, teen lounge, and children's play area, and a rooftop retreat with adult pool and jacuzzi, private dining, cigar lounge, nightclub, and panoramic views toward Palm Beach Island. Additional building features include wellness studios, a golf simulator, co-working spaces, indoor lounges, a gourmet resident market, full-time concierge and valet, UPLIN Health's in-home health services, and a building-wide emergency standby generator. Architecture is by Arquitectonica with interiors by founding principal Bernardo Fort-Brescia. The project is developed by Australian Property Group — led by Al Adelson, the developer behind The Bristol, the 2019 building widely credited with establishing West Palm Beach's modern luxury high-rise market — in partnership with Sympatico Real Estate, with exclusive sales by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing. Pricing runs from approximately $2 million to $10 million, with an average price of about $3.5 million, and the project has surpassed $100 million in pre-construction sales. Groundbreaking is anticipated for June 2026, with delivery targeted for 2028.
