Aventine and Seawood Break Ground on Arbor House Luxury High Rise in Palm Beach Gardens

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL — Aventine Development and Seawood Builders marked the groundbreaking of Phase I of Arbor House, a 13-story, 302-unit luxury multifamily community designed to combine refined design with connected living.

Arbor House offers a range of unit types from studios to three-bedroom apartments and includes an attached garage with 480 parking spaces. Shared amenities center on an eighth-floor, 7,000-square-foot deck that will house a wellness center, state-of-the-art fitness center, golf simulator, cold plunge, sauna and a resort-style pool. A ground-floor work-from-home lounge is included to support remote and hybrid work patterns.

"High-rise luxury rental apartment living is something new and different for Palm Beach Gardens," said Ed Masi, President/CEO of Seawood Builders. "Arbor House will meet the high demand for new Class-A multifamily residential during a time where there is clearly a shortage. Its prime location is convenient to popular retail outlets, including Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, and will be a magnet for young professionals and their families."

"Arbor House is part of a broader master plan that includes replacing outdated developments with new, modern uses," added Bill Spruce, Cofounder/Managing Partner of Aventine Development. "Palm Beach Gardens is becoming a luxury market for living. By transforming an aging office park into a vibrant luxury living environment, we are part of the movement that already includes The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Palm Beach Gardens, opening later this year."

"Arbor House is an important project for the City of Palm Beach Gardens," stated Mayor Marcie Tinsley. "There is a strong, cooperative spirit between the City and our development partners to address the need for high-quality developments while also helping to spur interest in a rail station within PGA Station, a mixed-use development within our Transit-Oriented District that will serve our community."

"Today's celebration includes a ceremonial tree planting—a lasting symbol of Arbor House and the natural spirit of Palm Beach Gardens," explained Alexandra Masi, Director of Marketing and Communications, Seawood Builders. "It will be preserved and placed on-site as construction progresses."

Phase II will add a second 13-story tower and attached garage with 318 apartments, bringing the combined total to 620 units once both phases are complete. Arbor House is positioned within a larger redevelopment strategy to modernize underutilized office property into attainable, Class-A multifamily housing in a transit-oriented context.

Multifamily Leadership will continue to track construction milestones and market implications for high-rise multifamily development in Palm Beach Gardens as this project advances.
