St. Petersburg’s skyline is entering a new era as 400 Central , the city’s landmark 46-story tower by Red Apple Real Estate, nears completion. Rising 515 feet above Central Avenue, the Arquitectonica-designed tower is now the tallest residential building on Florida’s Gulf Coast — and one of the most anticipated addresses in the state. This fall, 400 Central reached major vertical milestones, transforming from a construction site into a defining feature of the downtown skyline. With construction moving swiftly toward completion, only a limited collection of residences remain — and for those who act quickly, move-ins are expected to begin this year. The tower will feature 301 luxury condominium residences ranging from one to four bedrooms, along with a limited number of penthouse homes showcasing panoramic views of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Each residence has been designed with expansive glass walls, open-concept layouts, and private terraces to take in the city’s skyline and waterfront vistas. Amenities are equally elevated. Residents will enjoy access to a rooftop observatory on the 46th floor—the highest viewing point on the west coast of Florida—plus a resort-style pool deck, fitness and wellness center, private clubrooms, and full-service concierge. Ground-level retail and dining will further energize the surrounding streetscape, creating a seamless connection between luxury living and St. Petersburg’s vibrant downtown life. Among the first tenants to open will be Volta Wine Market , a refined concept curated by a Michelin-starred sommelier. The boutique market will feature a global wine selection alongside elevated everyday offerings, bringing a touch of culinary sophistication to the heart of Central Avenue. With its prime location at Central Avenue and 4th Street, 400 Central places residents within steps of the city’s cultural institutions, restaurants, and waterfront parks. As move-ins approach and inventory tightens, this is the final opportunity to secure a home in what is soon to become one of Florida’s most recognizable residential towers. Move in this year —limited residences remain at 400 Central, St. Petersburg’s new icon of luxury living.

The New York City Council has approved a transformative redevelopment plan for the historic Kingsbridge Armory at 1 West Kingsbridge Road in Kingsbridge Heights, The Bronx. Spearheaded by 8th Regiment Partners in partnership with the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition (NWBCCC), the project will convert the long-vacant landmark into a dynamic mixed-use community hub developed under the "Together for Kingsbridge Vision Plan" with extensive community engagement. Rendering of Kingsbridge Academy, FXCollaborative The two-phase construction project is backed by $216 million in combined city, state, and federal funding. Phase one focuses on the adaptive reuse of the armory's iconic 180,000-square-foot Drill Hall, creating a major events venue, recreational facilities, cultural and commercial spaces, 125,000 square feet of manufacturing and community-use areas, and over 25,000 square feet dedicated to community programming. Construction is slated to begin in 2026, with completion targeted for 2030. Rendering of Kingsbridge Academy, FXCollaborative Phase two will redevelop the adjacent National Guard site to deliver approximately 500 units of permanently affordable rental housing, expected to be completed by 2032. The project is projected to generate nearly $2.9 billion in economic impact and create approximately 3,600 jobs, prioritizing local hiring and union labor under a project labor agreement. A comprehensive Community Benefits Agreement ensures commitments to living wages, small business protections, sustainability measures, and tenant protections. A Community Council, co-led by NWBCCC, will oversee programming and investment through an established Community Benefit Fund. Rendering of Kingsbridge Academy, FXCollaborative "Today's vote to realize the community's vision for the Kingsbridge Armory is a monumental achievement for our coalition, and a powerful testament to what's possible through sustained collaborative community leadership," said Sandra Lobo, Executive Director of NWBCCC. "This project centers community priorities, leverages local assets, and ensures that Bronx workers, residents, and small businesses have access to good family-sustaining jobs, affordable space, and real opportunities to build shared wealth." Akerman is proud to represent 8th Regiment Partners in partnership with the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) on the restoration and adaptive reuse of this historic landmark—North America's largest armory. Our work encompassed critical land use actions including rezoning, securing a special permit for a live events venue with 17,000-person capacity, and obtaining necessary approvals from the Landmarks Preservation and Public Design Commissions. The Akerman team also managed the disposition process and negotiated both the development agreement and ground lease with the City of New York. Rendering of Kingsbridge Academy, FXCollaborative This landmark project will create a vibrant community hub featuring cultural, recreational, and workforce development spaces while delivering essential affordable housing and substantial economic opportunities for Bronx residents.

New York City’s beloved Rocco’s Sports & Rec is heading to South Florida with a bold new flagship concept, Sports & Rec , slated to open in early 2026 in the heart of the recently debuted Nora District in West Palm Beach. Spanning approximately 4,700 square feet, this venue promises a modern, design-forward take on the traditional sports-bar, meshing elevated cuisine and cocktails with immersive viewing technology and a stylish social-club ambiance. The concept is brought to life by The Garret Group , founded by industry veterans Gavin Moseley and Adam Fulton, the team behind New York staples like The Garret, Borrachito, Bandits and the original Rocco’s Sports & Rec. The new Sports & Rec blends the high-octane energy of a stadium with the comfort and creativity of a lounge built for connection. This flagship location will be the brand’s most ambitious to date, aiming to break free from the clichés of the typical sports bar. Guests can look forward to chef-driven plates, craft-led cocktails, dynamic social zones and state-of-the-art big-screen moments—all against a backdrop of elevated design that invites more than just game nights. The decision to locate in the Nora District is strategic and timely. Just north of downtown West Palm Beach, the district is a roughly $1 billion transformation of historic warehouse blocks into a walkable lifestyle hub combining dining, wellness, culture and nightlife. Its footprint spans the area between Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard and Quadrille Boulevard, anchored by North Railroad Avenue and designed to feel like a neighborhood rather than a mall. The Nora District is quickly becoming one of West Palm Beach’s most exciting new destinations, buzzing with energy as doors continue to open across the strip. Already home to standout names like Sunday Motor Co., Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, [solidcore], Celis Juice Bar, ZenHippo, IGK Salons, Warby Parker, Pompanos Boutique, and Le Labo Fragrances, the district is setting a new standard for lifestyle and culture in South Florida. Coming soon are even more heavy hitters — from fine-jewelry boutique LUCE and Juliana’s Pizza to H&H Bagels, Indaco, The Spot Barbershop, Mint, Sana, Loco Taqueria & Oyster Bar, a high-end speakeasy from the team behind Mary Lou’s, fitness studio SWEAT440, and more. Anchoring the heart of the District is The Nora Hotel — a 201-key boutique property developed by BD Hotels in collaboration with hospitality visionary Sean MacPherson, set to open in fall 2026. With Mediterranean-inspired architecture, a rooftop pool, and the debut of Parisian-style bistro Pastis, the hotel will serve as a cultural and hospitality anchor for the district. As construction moves forward, excitement is building for Sports & Rec’s debut in early 2026. For The Garret Group, it marks more than a South Florida expansion, with a second location also on the way in Boston. And for West Palm Beach, the move underscores the Nora District’s momentum as the city’s next premier gathering place.

The opening marks the first Florida location for the next-generation clinic, which builds on the success of its flagship center in Austin, Texas.

These findings form the foundation of a personalized care plan co-developed with licensed physicians and specialists. Services span hormone and peptide therapy, regenerative treatments, IV nutrient drips, and diagnostic tools like DEXA scans and VO2 max testing. Image of Humanaut Health Palm Beach Gardens One of the clinic’s standout offerings is EBO2 therapy, a process that filters and infuses the blood with ozone, oxygen, and light for deep cellular detoxification and rejuvenation. Other therapies include NAD+ infusions to improve mitochondrial function, therapeutic plasma exchange, and regenerative treatments for joint, spine, and sexual health. Wellness technologies like PEMF and SoftWave are also available, along with Shiftwave—a zero-gravity recliner that uses sound and vibration for stress relief and nervous system recalibration. Image of Humanaut Health Palm Beach Gardens Humanaut operates on a tiered membership model. The Path plan offers core preventive care with biannual assessments and ongoing access to providers. Zone includes monthly wellness treatments and plan refinement. Bond is a concierge-level program that offers continuous support from a dedicated medical team, weekly optimization sessions, and advanced testing like genomic panels and early cancer screening. All memberships are overseen by experts in functional and regenerative medicine, including Chief Medical Officer Dr. Amy Killen and medical advisors like Dr. Harry Adelson. For those not ready to commit, many services are available à la carte to the public. Many members report improvements in energy, sleep, inflammation, and cognitive clarity within just a few months. Image of Humanaut Health Palm Beach Gardens The Palm Beach Gardens location is open at 11701 Lake Victoria Gardens Ave., Suite 3201, with additional Florida locations, including Coconut Grove, expected in the near future. Humanaut Health is redefining what it means to live well—not just longer, but better. Start your journey at Humanaut Health today and save 50% off your first month by mentioning Florida of Tomorrow.

The One Boca redevelopment proposal is getting a major rethink. Developers Terra and Frisbie have unveiled a scaled-back version of their downtown Boca Raton master plan that would more than double public green space, shrink leased city land from 31 acres to under eight, and reshape the area into a walkable civic destination centered around parks, recreation, and community gathering spaces. The new plan calls for 955 residential units—down from over 1,100 in the original proposal—alongside 186 condominiums on private land, a 180-room hotel, expanded dining and retail options, and reduced office space. At the heart of the redesign is a Central Park–inspired pedestrian corridor, “1½ Avenue,” connecting Palmetto Park Road to the Brightline station. The city would retain ownership of the land west of NW 2nd Avenue, including Memorial Park, City Hall, and the community center, while adding new tennis courts, basketball courts, a playground, a multipurpose field, and a children’s museum. The updated concept marks the third major revision of the One Boca plan , following months of resident feedback and civic debate. The city aims to transform the current City Hall campus into a modern, mixed-use hub where public services, recreation, and residential life intersect—a “live, work, play” environment designed to strengthen community engagement and long-term resilience. But residents remain divided. While some see the proposal as a chance to rejuvenate outdated public facilities, others question the city’s focus amid growing infrastructure concerns. “Last Tuesday, my daughter fractured her hand at Memorial Park,” said local parent Christina Broeker. “As you can see, the aging field that she plays on multiple days a week has failed her.” Meanwhile, local advocacy group Save Boca has pushed for voter oversight, gathering over 5,000 signatures to advance two resolutions requiring public approval for any sale or lease of city-owned property larger than half an acre. Those measures will now go before voters in a special election on January 13, 2026—moving up from the March municipal ballot. Some city leaders, including Councilman Marc Wigder, have expressed concern about the vague legal language of the proposals, warning that the term “alienation” could complicate other public-private partnerships citywide. The debate also comes as officials grapple with mounting flood control needs following severe recent storms. “It certainly looks like we’re going to have to spend more on flood control… and invest in those things maybe more because these storms are happening more frequently,” Wigder said. Residents echoed the call to prioritize stormwater infrastructure, with others criticizing the developers for continually revising the project to gain favor. As Boca Raton prepares for its January vote, the conversation over One Boca now extends far beyond design—it’s become a defining moment for how the city balances growth, public land use, and environmental preparedness in the years ahead.

In Manhattan’s West Village—a neighborhood of winding, tree-lined streets and historic brownstones steeped in bohemian legacy—old-world charm effortlessly blends with contemporary cool. This classic village atmosphere sets the stage for Jack & Charlie’s No. 118 , a cozy corner restaurant that feels like a portal to New York’s golden age of hospitality. From the moment you arrive at its Greenwich Avenue address, you sense a delightful fusion of classic Manhattan elegance and neighborhood intimacy. Tucked along a historic stretch of Greenwich Avenue, Jack & Charlie’s No. 118 evokes a sophisticated nostalgia that’s timeless of-the-moment. Step inside and you’re greeted by moody, sultry lighting and the glow of a classic fireplace, illuminating walls of dark wood and emerald-green leather banquettes. Geometric tile work underfoot and Art Deco touches in the décor lend a cinematic, 1920s supper club vibe, as if you’ve wandered onto a beautifully preserved film set. The space—about 3,000 square feet divided into four distinct rooms—reads like an intimate Prohibition-era club elegantly revived for modern bon vivants. Each area offers a unique mood, from the lively Bar Room to the cozy Turner Room, the elegant Astor Room, and the vibrant Oyster Room, with a crackling fireplace making the main dining salon especially inviting. Despite the period décor and vintage touches, Jack & Charlie’s is no mere time capsule. There’s a refined energy here: the low murmur of conversation and the clink  of martini glasses conjure images of old New York glamour. The design was very intentional about blending nostalgia with now—the team drew inspiration from the legendary 21 Club, aiming to create a place that “felt like it had been around a century” while still delivering a Gatsby-era elegance. Jack & Charlie’s bills itself as a modern American brasserie, a concept that guides its food and drink in delicious ways. Executive Chef Ed Cotton—a Top Chef finalist who earned his stripes under culinary icons like Daniel Boulud, Barbara Lynch, and Laurent Tourondel—brings serious pedigree to the kitchen. His menu is a love letter to New York’s mid-century dining sensibilities, filtered through a contemporary lens. The kitchen’s secret weapon is a blazing wood-burning oven retained from the building’s past life as a pizzeria. The chef also sources locally and lets the menu rotate with the seasons. Highlights of the menu range from the raw bar to sandwiches and selections to house-made pastas. Even the humble meatloaf gets a luxurious twist here—Jack & Charlie’s signature “bone-in” duck meatloaf is a rich, gamey pâté-like dish, served with whipped potatoes and charred broccoli. On weekends from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Jack & Charlie’s No. 118 offers a polished yet relaxed brunch experience in the heart of the West Village. Begin with cinnamon donuts served with warm coffee anglaise, or take a spin at the build-your-own Bloody Mary cart. Menu favorites include smoked salmon and avocado toast, chocolate babka French toast, Jack’s Stacks buttermilk pancakes, and a vanilla bean waffle topped with lemon-curd whipped cream and mixed berries. The brick-chicken Caesar stands out as one of the best Caesar salads—if not the best—our team has ever had. For heartier appetites, options like the prime rib panini French dip, turkey club, and bacon cheeseburger round out a menu that feels indulgent yet timeless. To complement the cuisine, Jack & Charlie’s bar program is firmly rooted in the classics. In true supper club fashion, the martini is king here—there’s a dedicated martini menu offering riffs from the perfect gin martini to seasonal variations. The cocktail list in general pays homage to vintage drinks (think Negronis, Manhattans, French 75s) with a thoughtful modern polish. If you prefer wine, the cellar boasts 80+ bottles with a focus on food-friendly Old World selections, and more than a dozen by-the-glass options for pairing with those steaks and pastas. Part of what makes Jack & Charlie’s No. 118 so distinct is the sense of history and personality infused into every corner. The restaurant was created as a love letter to old New York, an homage to the icons and institutions that shaped the city’s dining scene. Even the name Jack & Charlie’s itself nods to Manhattan lore—it calls to mind the original founders of the famed 21 Club, one of the city’s most legendary speakeasy-turned-supper clubs. The service style at Jack & Charlie’s No. 118 further sets it apart from many Manhattan hotspots. It’s polished yet personal, with a team that clearly prides itself on hospitality. You’ll get the formality of classic fine dining without any of the fuss or snootiness.
