With its close proximity to the Gulfstream waters off Florida’s East Coast, The Palm Beaches are the undisputed epicenter for word-class angling. Sports fishermen from around the globe are drawn to the bountiful Atlantic waters and the Bahamas nearby. Whether it’s flyfishing for bonefish on the Bahamian flats, deep dropping along the continental shelf for tile fish or offshore trolling for big game tuna or billfish, experienced anglers find the perfect homeport in The Palm Beaches.

World-Class Fishing Destination

The Palm Beaches are a hot spot for some of the most sought-after species and offer a variety of fishing excursions year-round. From kite fishing rigs extended from towering outriggers to electronic deep-drop reels for bottom fishing, every day brings a new adventure for serious anglers. Plentiful local catches include mahi mahi, grouper, tripletail, kingfish, and snapper. For the ultimate thrill, The Palm Beaches are also a part of Sailfish Alley, where record-size sailfish congregate closest to shore. Inshore waters, bridges and local structures attract tarpon, redfish, snook, pompano, and more.

Top-Rated Events and Tournaments

The Palm Beaches are also well-known for their annual fishing tournaments, bringing the sport’s top fishing teams to the area to compete in high-stakes tournaments for impressive rewards. From November through May, numerous annual Sailfish and Billfish tournaments occur along the east coast, including the Silver Sailfish Derby in January. For those looking to target game species like wahoo, kingfish, and mahi mahi, the KDW Classic in June, the Kingfish Mayhem Pro Series, and more provide plentiful competitions.

Additionally, the Palm Beach International Boat Show is a favored yearly event, featuring more than $1.2 billion worth of yachts and accessories. Lining the marinas at Flagler Drive, this event brings hundreds of boats from around the world, including superyachts nearly 300 feet in length.

Intracoastal Waterway Boating Access

The waterways within The Palm Beaches are world-renowned for both their scenic beauty and their connectivity. Two major inlets lead from the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway, allowing easy access to any inshore or offshore adventure. Not only is Palm Beach Gardens a destination unto itself, but the area’s prime location puts the city near other world-class locales. Day trips to Fort Lauderdale and The Bahamas are a breeze, just 37 and 55 nautical miles away respectively. The Florida Keys are also a popular weekend destination, with vibrant city life and numerous fishing excursions to explore.

Waterfront Restaurants Abound

After a long day spent out on the water, The Palm Beaches’ reputation for delectable fine dining is sure to please any discerning palate. Reminisce the day’s activities while watching the sunset over the water at Sailfish Marina, River House, and Seasons 52. Or cruise over to Jupiter’s 1000 North, Love Street, or U-Tiki to enjoy tropical libations while planning the next offshore adventure.

Underwater and Above Water Adventures

Whether paddle boarding the Intracoastal Waterway or snorkeling offshore, a long list of watersports guarantees plenty of entertainment for visiting family and friends. The area’s warm, clear waters boast one of the most diverse marine ecosystems in the world, ensuring spectacular diving and spearfishing experiences for any age and skill level. Whether you’re swimming alongside sea turtles or exploring the spectacular coral formations at Peanut Island, Coral Cove Park, and The Breakers, unforgettable moments abound for the entire family. Experienced divers can venture even further to explore Phil Foster Park’s underwater sculptures, and Cable Crossing’s natural coral reefs and caves. The reefs and ocean waters are also popular destinations for spearfishing, including Palm Beach Triangle, Nunns Ledge, and Larsens Valley.

Contrary to various public misconceptions, Mar-a-Lago—the exclusive Atlantic oceanfront resort that frequently served as former President Donald Trump’s “Winter White House”—didn’t make Palm Beach, Florida’s lavish real estate and lifestyle famous for the first time around.

The Sunshine State’s “Playground for the Wealthy” long has been uber-posh, dating back to the late 1880s when oil tycoon Henry Flagler first built The Breakers and The Royal Poinciana Hotel which eventually became the centerpieces of his luxury, southern hospitality empire catering to northern old money and spawning the now infamous “Billionaire’s Row”.

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise either that even after Trump’s 2020 Oval Office departure, Palm Beach’s luxury real estate market isn’t showing any signs of decelerating even if Air Force One isn’t landing in town anymore.

Writ large, part of the froth is because South Florida in general has been on a bull market run since even before the pandemic.

Low taxes, warm weather, business friendly regulations, and burgeoning innovation ecosystems were already luring finance firms, tech start-ups, and executives to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Tampa, and Orlando before 2020 as fast as California and New York could shed them. COVID-19 just widened the highways and threw away the speed limits.

The compounding in-migration over past few years, however, has resulted in one of the most unsubtle real estate ironies here in decades: after years of booms, busts, and frequently tumbling prices, South Florida now has a big-time housing and inflation crisis that few people were anticipating.

At the highest ends in places like Palm Beach—a.k.a. “Wall Street South”—where billionaires, CEOs, sports stars, and celebrities like Tiger Woods, Sylvester Stallone, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Steve Wynn, Jon Bon Jovi, and Ken Griffin have been digging in for years, the supply crunch is even more acute.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Palm Beach County’s luxury, single-family homes sales—including Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach Islands—have increased by 53.5% year-over-year while the average time on market has plummeted to 58 days in the first quarter of 2022, a 57.2% year-over-year drop. In North Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens specifically, where only 89 active single-family listings are currently active, home sales are up 68% year-over-year with total volume jumping from $678 million to $1.34 billion.

Similarly eye-popping, the numbers for Palm Beach County’s mid- and high-rise condo sub-market aren’t far behind: average days on market decreased by 41% in 2021 over the same period in 2020, while first quarter 2022 luxury condo closings are up 54% from 2020.

Developers and real estate investors are rightly trying to keep up.

Related Group recently announced plans to bring a new Ritz-Carlton Residences high rise to West Palm Beach, while South Flagler House, a $400 million luxury condominium, is on track to become one of the most expensive residential developments in the U.S.

Meanwhile, multi-million dollar condo projects that have been under construction for years are well-timed to start absorbing buyers starting in the next few months, like Amrit Ocean Resort & Residences, SeaGlass, Nautilus 220, Icon, La Clara, Forte, and Alba.

Notwithstanding all of this new inventory, however, a lot of the long-term drivers behind Palm Beach’s supply crisis aren’t easily tractable—which other similarly tight and tony zip codes in Silicon Valley, Long Island, and Los Angeles could learn from. Many of the buildings about open up were sold out months ago or pre-sold pre-pandemic so they’re not even putting a dent in existing or future demand.

Land is also scarce, sprawling, multi-generational estates are common, and most residents who have lived here for years whether full or part-time roundly agree that if you already own one of the few waterfront properties available why not hold onto it, especially when price appreciation is outpacing the bull stock market?

Each of these factors individually is an incentive for developers to build. But for locals collectively, they’re a glaring red light not to sell, particularly when it comes to single-family homes and estates. There’s also no small bit of NIMBYism (“Not In My Back Yard”) invisibly at work here when it comes to the prospect of denser, more overtly visible developments.

All of which means that every new Palm Beach luxury real estate project which adds new inventory while simultaneously satisfying the increasing demand for larger floor plans, hotel-style amenities, and waterfront views at scale is great for prospective buyers and companies looking to relocate here—and even better for the developers building them.

This fundamental shift—from South Florida’s historically dense condo model to full-floor, all-glass, single-family, high-tech, high- and mid-rise “residences”—a.k.a. “homes in the sky”—is no small turning point. Developers will need to change their design, technology, and financing paradigms. Buyers will need to be patient.

What is clear to anyone paying attention, however, is that these trends for more space, more resort-level, work-from-home luxuries, better, high-touch service, deeper experiences, and longer horizon investing on the part of buyers are here to stay.

Given this context, the announcement by long-time Palm Beach-based developer Catalfumo Companies that it’s just launched the Landing at PGA Waterway is huge news for one of America’s most inventory starved cities.

“Palm Beach Gardens has become the ultimate, luxury real estate enclave in South Florida,” says founder Dan Catalfumo. “It’s now attracting even more refined and notable individuals relocating to the area. And from this came the inspiration for Landing at just the right time.”

The Landing will offer 98 flow-through three, four, and five-bedroom residences ranging from 3,100 to 5,000 square feet spread out over three, 6-story buildings on the last remaining 11 contiguous acres of open land in Palm Beach Gardens directly on the Intracoastal Waterway with yacht access to Lake Worth, Palm Beach Inlet, and Jupiter Inlet.

The development will also include a private, 26-slip marina for power and sailboats up to 75′, 100-foot infinity-edge swimming pool, resort-style cabanas, a clubhouse, spa, guesthouse suites, high-tech in-unit features and finishes, and an on-site concierge.

If anything about the Landing at PGA Waterway sounds over-amenitized given Palm Beach’s supply crunch, it’s not.

“This is what today’s market and buyer demands,” says Kevin Spina, Sales Director of The Spina Team of Landing’s luxury “sky villa” approach to merging single-family home space and design with the amenities and service of a 5-star resort.

“Palm Beach County is now a flourishing hub as major companies are migrating to the ‘Wall Street of the South’. We are excited to bring Landing at PGA Waterway to this thriving market and anticipate that it will transform the way we understand and experience luxury waterfront living.”

Residences at Landing at PGA Waterway start at $3.9M with pre-sales to commence June 1st. The project is slated to break ground in the third quarter of 2022.

When commissioning the design of Landing at PGA Waterway, visionary developer Dan Catalfumo was crystal-clear in outlining his vision — to exceed all expectations for the design and delivery of this one-of-a-kind Palm Beach Gardens waterfront address. As the first and only marina-front residences along the Intracoastal Waterway near PGA Boulevard, not a single detail within this private waterfront enclave has been overlooked. See what Catalfumo and his world-class development team have planned for this unparalleled address.
