Flagler Drive south of downtown; compare the specific address and bridge route.

North Flagler vs. South Flagler condos
Choose the daily routine before the building. North Flagler brings several new-development options into one waterfront shortlist; South Flagler pairs new offerings with completed-building alternatives. Both are on the West Palm Beach side of the Intracoastal—not Palm Beach island oceanfront.
Sources checked September 7, 2026. Confirm changing details before a purchase.
Build my shortlistNorth Flagler
Compare Olara, Ritz-Carlton Residences and Shorecrest for different amenity, service and layout priorities. Visit the actual block: proximity to downtown is not the same for every address.
South Flagler
Compare South Flagler House’s new-development offering with La Clara as a completed alternative. Test the route to the Norton, your usual bridge and your daily destinations rather than assuming the whole corridor is quieter.
The practical trade-offs
Residence fit
Den-led plans, dedicated elevator arrivals and smaller floor plates are different choices—not corridor-wide standards.
Compare loggias, entertaining space and actual completed layouts; one South Flagler building does not represent them all.
Service and costs
Olara’s amenity breadth, Ritz-Carlton’s brand model and Shorecrest’s residential program need separate fee comparisons.
South Flagler House’s proposed club program and La Clara’s operating association require different evidence.
Timing
Separate the sales offering from the present construction stage and contractual closing terms.
Separate precompletion purchases from completed/resale opportunities; neither implies a unit is currently available.
Which buildings fit your priorities?
North Flagler
Olara
Start here for a broad amenity program, boating interest and layouts with a den.
- Layouts
- Two- to four-bedroom-plus-den plans are described by Gilbane. Compare the den, bedroom separation and terrace depth, not just total area.
- Scale and service
- The project markets more than 80,000 square feet of wellness and leisure amenities, pools and a private marina. A marina is not a deeded slip for every owner.
- Reported stage
- New-development sales; Gilbane describes construction taking shape. Confirm the current work stage and contractual timing rather than relying on an old completion year.
- Ask before deciding
- Which amenities are shared across the development? What are slip allocation, vessel limits, access charges and actual plan availability?

Ritz-Carlton Residences, West Palm Beach
Start here when a hospitality-brand service model and dedicated elevator arrival matter most.
- Layouts
- The official residence page specifies dedicated elevator access, entry foyers, private balconies and 10- or 11-foot ceilings. Confirm those details for the selected line.
- Scale and service
- BH Group describes 138 condominium residences. The official amenity program includes concierge-led services; verify included staffing and separately charged services.
- Reported stage
- BH Group labels the project selling and under construction, with February 2026 groundbreaking. Its 2028 guidance is a developer target, not a guaranteed closing date.
- Ask before deciding
- Confirm service and brand-related costs. Official pages use both 1717 and 1745 North Flagler; confirm the property and appointment addresses before visiting.

Shorecrest
Start here for a smaller published residence count and two- or three-bedroom living with a rooftop pool.
- Layouts
- Two- and three-bedroom homes by Rottet Studio. The April 2026 developer release describes four residences per floor; ask for the floor plate and elevator arrangement.
- Scale and service
- Related Ross reported 98 residences in April 2026. The official program includes a rooftop pool, club-level spa, concierge and an on-site Lifestyle Director.
- Reported stage
- Groundbreaking announced April 3, 2026. That release anticipated 2027 completion; request a dated construction and closing update before relying on it.
- Ask before deciding
- Confirm current plans, fee inclusions, optional services and the current scope of any fitness partnership. Published project counts are not available-unit counts.

South Flagler House
Start here for classical architecture, substantial outdoor living and a club-style service program south of downtown.
- Layouts
- The official site describes two- to five-bedroom homes, penthouses and guest suites, with expansive terraces and loggias. Verify the specific residence rather than a typical rendering.
- Scale and service
- RAMSA architecture and Pembrooke & Ives interiors; the official site describes 50,000 square feet of private club amenities. Different official sources give different residence counts, so no count is asserted here.
- Reported stage
- New-development offering. RAMSA reported topping out in November 2025; a structural milestone is not proof that homes are ready for occupancy.
- Ask before deciding
- Confirm tower, floor plate, current construction stage, club/guest-suite arrangements, estimated operating costs and delivery terms.

La Clara
Use a completed-building alternative when inspecting an actual home and operating building matters more than choosing from a new launch.
- Layouts
- Compare the actual residence, terrace, storage and view with a proposed plan. Do not assume a resale has the developer’s original finishes or configuration.
- Scale and service
- The contractor lists La Clara as completed. Review actual association operations and current fees rather than treating a completed building like a future amenity promise.
- Reported stage
- Completed-building comparison, not a new launch or a claim of available resale inventory. The contractor records completion in 2024.
- Ask before deciding
- Ask about resale availability, condition, association documents, reserves and any changes to the residence.
