New York-based developer Savanna has announced a new partnership with the José Andrés Group at Olara, a new 26-story luxury residential condominium at 1919 North Flagler Drive on West Palm Beach’s waterfront. Renowned Chef José Andrés will bring his first new restaurant concept in the Palm Beaches to Olara, which will be open to the public. Olara’s residents will also enjoy exclusive culinary services, including food and beverage provisions across the tower’s amenity spaces and private, in-residence dining. Set on the ground floor, this new waterfront dining concept will span 8,500 square feet, offering indoor and outdoor seating to cater to al fresco dining preferences.
Olara is also celebrating the official start of construction, with work on the development’s private dock amenity now underway. SavCon and Gilbane are the general contractors. They expect to complete construction in 2027, promising to deliver condominium residences, a private marina, world-class culinary experiences, and an unmatched lifestyle for its discerning clientele.

“We’re excited to be announcing our partnership with José Andrés Group, as well as our groundbreaking on what will become one of the most transformative developments in West Palm Beach,” said Chris Schlank, President and Co-Chairman of Savanna. “We’re introducing a unique luxury residential concept that this area hasn’t seen yet, and we’re excited to collaborate with this impressive chef to elevate the neighborhood not only for our buyers but for the entire community.”
Sam Bakhshandehpour, President of José Andrés Group, stated, “West Palm Beach has truly become Wall Street South, an epicenter for finance as well as a thriving residential community. The investment being made here in year-round, waterfront living is what attracted us at José Andrés Group to be a part of Olara’s ambitious plans for West Palm Beach.”

I am very interested in the juice bar. I’m putting up a place in the Renaissance in Hollywood as we speak 40 years in business from New York.
Thank You
“Olara is designed by Arquitectonica to reflect the idyllic nautical landscape surrounding it.” Really? It looks the same as every other project Arquitectonica excretes, including Icon Marina Village up the street. Come up with something with more curves and articulation for something starting at two million, including the junky building on the northeast corner as part of the redevelopment.
