Related Ross has secured a $772 million construction financing package for two new office towers at CityPlace in downtown West Palm Beach, marking both the largest financing transaction in the firm’s history and the largest construction loan ever recorded in Florida. The financing was led by Ares Real Estate funds, with Monarch Alternative Capital and HPS Investment Partners also participating. Eastdil Secured, LLC served as the exclusive financial advisor. Proceeds will fund development of 10 CityPlace and 15 CityPlace, two office towers planned at the center of the CityPlace district.

The financing follows the announcement that approximately 500,000 square feet of commercial office leases were signed in 2025 across the Related Ross Office Collection. The transaction supports the continued buildout of CityPlace as a mixed use district integrating office, retail, and public space within Downtown West Palm Beach.

10 CityPlace is planned as a 470,000 square foot office tower with architecture and interiors designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox. The building is expected to be completed in 2027 and is positioned as a central office component within the CityPlace district.

ServiceNow is listed as the anchor tenant and plans to establish a West Palm Beach innovation hub and AI Institute within the building. According to the announcement, the company’s presence is projected to generate an estimated $1.8 billion in economic impact and more than 850 jobs over five years.
15 CityPlace is planned as a 490,000 square foot, 25-story office tower designed by Arquitectonica, with interior design by Fogerty Finger. The building is also expected to be completed in 2027. Plans call for nearly 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space, along with a rooftop amenity level. The top five floors will include private terraces and views toward the Intracoastal Waterway and Palm Beach Island.
