120 S. Dixie Highway
West Palm Beach • Residences
Billionaire developer Jeff Greene has proposed a 25-story Live Local Act apartment tower at 120 S. Dixie Highway in downtown West Palm Beach — set to become the tallest mass timber building in Florida. Designed by Carlo Ratti Associati (the Turin- and New York-based practice whose founder curated the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale) and engineered with a pre-fabricated mass timber system by Nexus Systems, the 0.87-acre project assembles 120 S. Dixie Highway with 321, 324, 325, and 333 Datura Street. The development delivers up to 399 apartments (studios to three-bedrooms, ranging 505 to 1,320 sq ft), 7,557 sq ft of retail, and 236 parking spaces. Filed under Florida's Live Local Act, approximately 160 units (40%) are reserved as workforce housing for residents earning up to 120% of area median income (set at $104,000 for Palm Beach County), with workforce units on floors 2–4 and 6–11 and market-rate units on floors 12 and up. The historic 1915 fire station on site will be incorporated into the first floor of the tower. A fifth-floor amenity deck features a pool, fitness room, lounge, yoga room, private dining area, and grilling stations. Unlike many Live Local Act projects, the building runs a single shared lobby and shared amenity deck across all income tiers. The project went before the city's Plans & Plats Review Committee on May 14, 2026 and was returned for changes; Live Local Act approval routes through city administration rather than board vote.
