Woodfield Development and Flagler Realty & Development Inc. have officially broken ground on a mixed-use development at 8111 South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach, Florida. Designed by Spina O’Rourke + Partners and with Verdex Construction as the general contractor, the project is located along the C-51 Canal in the city’s South End neighborhood and will include 358 apartment residences and 19,000 square feet of retail space. Among the residential units, 90 will be designated as affordable housing, offering discounted rents based on Palm Beach County’s area median income. Move-ins are anticipated by the third quarter of 2026, with full project completion expected in the fourth quarter of the same year.
