Elon Musk Said To Be Eyeing $100 Million Penthouse Purchase At The Bristol in West Palm Beach

Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur behind companies like Tesla and SpaceX, is said to be eyeing a stunning penthouse in West Palm Beach, Florida. The luxurious 19,000 square-foot penthouse, located at the Bristol on S. Flagler Dr., is listed at a jaw-dropping $100 million, which would shatter all previous real estate records in the area.

If Musk’s rumored purchase is completed it would mark a significant milestone in the transformation of West Palm Beach into a high-end luxury condo market. The city, long overshadowed by its affluent neighbor Palm Beach, has seen a surge in development in recent years, with a growing number of luxury high-rise buildings and thousands of new units in the pipeline. The Bristol, where the penthouse is located, kickstarted this condo momentum when beauty mogul Sydell Miller purchased a unit for $42.6 million in 2019. Since then, several new luxury developments have popped up in the area such as Related Ross’s South Flagler House and Two Roads Development’s Forte. With a mix of luxury rentals and condos, West Palm Beach is quickly becoming a desirable destination for the ultra-wealthy.

The highly anticipated Nora District in West Palm Beach marked a significant milestone with the groundbreaking of The Nora Hotel, a new 201-key boutique hotel developed by BD Hotels, in collaboration with Sean MacPherson, NDT Development, Place Projects, and Wheelock Street Capital.

Quintessential New York City Parisian-style brasserie, Pastis, by James Beard Award-winning restaurateur Stephen Starr (STARR Restaurants), will open in The NORA District in West Palm Beach as The Nora Hotel’s ground floor restaurant. In addition to Pastis, STARR Restaurants will co-create the hotel’s rooftop restaurant and lounge as well as operate in-room dining service. This will mark the fourth location for Pastis, with existing restaurants in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, Washington D.C. and Miami.

We look forward to welcoming Pastis as one of the greatest neighborhood bistros in the country to anchor what we believe will be the premier hotel offering in West Palm Beach,” said Richard Born, owner of BD Hotels.

Pastis West Palm Beach will mark the second location for the concept in South Florida. The critically acclaimed restaurant has anchored Manhattan’s Meatpacking District for nearly 15 years, expanding into Miami’s Wynwood Arts District in May 2023 and Washington D.C. in January 2024.

“Since opening Pastis in Miami last year, the positive response to the restaurant has been astounding. Residents of Palm Beach, West Palm Beach and the surrounding areas have asked me countless times to bring Pastis to their neighborhood. With the development of Nora, one of the most exciting and ambitious projects to hit South Florida, we are now going to make that a reality. STARR Restaurants is proud to work with Richard Born and his team to be a part of this incredible project,” said Stephen Starr, founder and CEO of STARR Restaurants.

Cocktails will feature an array of options like the St. Tropez Spritz, Lady Marmalade and a mini martini called Le Petit Pickle.

Developed by NDT Development, Place Projects and Wheelock Street Capital, Nora will be a dynamic district that breathes new life into Downtown West Palm Beach, becoming the ultimate amenity for the greater Palm Beach County community.

Phase I of Nora, which will include over 150,000 square feet of adaptive reuse and new development, broke ground in June 2023 and is slated for completion in early 2025. Turn-of-the-century railway warehouses will be reimagined into ground-floor retail celebrating local and national talent with innovative open spaces and art in public places.

Hyperion Group Launches Downtown West Palm Beach Rental Tower 'Lumaire'

Hyperion Group has launched leasing at Lumaire, Downtown West Palm Beach’s newest luxury rental tower offering panoramic sunrise to sunset views of the cityscape, Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and Clear Lake. Lumaire will set the standard in the city as an exclusive haven for those seeking a well-rounded, metropolitan lifestyle that is fully serviced with best-in-class health, wellness and entertainment. The residences range from studios to three bedrooms, with monthly rents starting at $1,800.

“As Downtown West Palm Beach evolves into ‘Wall Street South’, Lumaire is a distinctive residential offering for the sophisticated renter,” said Rob Vecsler, Principal and CEO of Hyperion Group. “Residents will experience Lumaire’s elevated level of service, unmatched amenity package, high-quality finishes and the tower’s panoramic views, while living in the convenient Clear Lake part of Downtown. The neighborhood offers access to the best restaurants and entertainment venues in West Palm Beach and is walkable to the offices of many top national finance companies now headquartered or expanding in the city.”

Situated at 201 Clearwater Drive, Lumaire rises 23 stories and features 457 light-filled residences with interiors meticulously designed by CetraRuddy, one of New York City’s most celebrated architecture and interior design firms. Lumaire is CetraRuddy’s first development in the Palm Beaches and upholds the firm’s prestigious reputation for creating chic, modern sensibilities with floor-to-ceiling windows, wide plank flooring, elegant quartz countertops, deep soaking tubs, and European-inspired kitchens. Lumaire’s open plan living areas also include nine- to twelve-foot soaring ceilings as well as solar shades and elegant white quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms. CetraRuddy also envisioned the building’s common spaces, which include more than 40,000 square feet of world-class amenities for a lifestyle of uninterrupted yet inspired quiet luxury. DesignBAR, an Interior Design firm based in Coconut Grove, worked collaboratively with the team on the amenity spaces.

“We’re thrilled to be a part of the team behind Lumaire,” said Ximena Rodriguez, a Principal at CetraRuddy and the firm’s Director of Interior Design. “Residents in the Palm Beaches are highly discerning and looking for distinctly differentiated environments that reflect contemporary lifestyles. We’ve taken the best elements of the unique setting—opportunities for indoor-outdoor living and incredible city and water views—and layered in a serene, modern sensibility with sophisticated materials, generous unit layouts, and compelling amenities to create what will become one of West Palm Beach’s most sought-after residential destinations.”

Under the vision of Carl Levin Architecture + Design (CLA+D), led by architect Alfonso Jurado, the tower will be one of the tallest new buildings in Downtown West Palm Beach and visible from almost every angle downtown. CLA+D designed the building with apartments starting above the seventh-floor amenity level so that residents can enjoy impressive sunset vistas over Clear Lake, as well as beautiful sunrises over the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean. The lowers levels of the tower are screened with gray patterning for a dynamic, textured appearance that transitions in color from day to night. The balcony design invokes depth and visual interest.

"It's been a pleasure to collaborate with Hyperion Group to design such a transformative development for the Clear Lake neighborhood," said Carl Levin, Owner of Carl Levin, Architecture+Design. "Given the project's unique, ideal location, we strategically maximized the views and indoor-outdoor spaces at the tower so that residents can get the most out of South Florida's favorable year-round weather and the beautiful water vistas surrounding them. The apartments at Lumaire are some of the most luxurious that Downtown West Palm Beach has to offer."

Living at Lumaire will be equally as unique as its design. Residents will arrive home via a grand porte cochere that leads to a sophisticated lobby overlooking lush landscaping from the adjoining park. From there, they can lounge and socialize in many indoor-outdoor amenity spaces. Up on the seventh floor, an outdoor poolside lounge overlooks a resort-style, 90-foot pool complete with cabana beds, privacy curtains and chaise loungers. A Bocce lawn, barbeque grills and an outdoor yoga and fitness area are also available for resident use. Inside, a fully-fledged, sunlight-flooded fitness center features a mix of top-of-the-line cardio, strength and functional training equipment, as well as a yoga and movement studio. With a library and coworking lounge with WiFi also onsite, Lumaire’s plush amenities also feature a pickleball court, pet parent lounge and pet grooming salon, virtual simulator for golf and other sports, gaming and private screening, and an entertainment lounge with a billiards table and catering kitchenette for hosting friends and family.

The amenity collection is complemented by first-class hospitality and an array of concierge services. Residents can explore regular programming, including a monthly calendar of activations and experiences. Bike owners can take advantage of bicycle storage and a repair station, while residents with electric vehicles can utilize Lumaire’s many charging stations.

Lumaire’s location on Clear Lake, part of Downtown West Palm Beach, places residents at the center of it all, from chic restaurants, resorts, shopping, recreation and pristine beaches across CityPlace and Palm Beach Island, to iconic and sought-after attractions including Norton Museum and Kravis Performing Arts Center. Residents enjoy the best of South Florida with ease of connectivity via I95, PBI Airport, the Brightline high-speed train, which travels throughout South Florida up to Orlando, and the Tri-Rail, an express access point to hotspots like Miami.
