GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY HELD FOR 8111 S. DIXIE MIXED-USE PROJECT IN WEST PALM BEACH
On December 12, 2024, city officials, development partners, and community members gathered to celebrate the official groundbreaking of 8111 S. Dixie, a transformative mixed-use development located in West Palm Beach’s South End. Verdex Construction is proud to serve as the general contractor for this dynamic project that will bring much-needed residential and retail options to the area.
Developed by Woodfield Development and Flagler Realty & Development, and designed by Spina O’Rourke + Partners, the eight-story building will feature 358 residential units, including 90 affordable apartments, along with 19,000 square feet of retail space. The project will help meet the growing demand for both market-rate and attainable housing in Palm Beach County.
Residents will enjoy thoughtfully designed studio to three-bedroom layouts, upscale amenities like a resort-style pool, a top-floor sky lounge, a coworking business center, and access to a scenic waterfront walkway with a kayak and canoe launch. A 15,000-square-foot urban grocer is already confirmed for the retail portion, providing added convenience for residents and neighbors alike.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by several city officials and project partners, including West Palm Beach Mayor Keith James, Commissioners Christina Lambert, Christy Fox, and Cathleen Ward, and Jennifer Ferriol, Director of Housing and Community Development. Also in attendance were Ross Abramson, Partner at Woodfield Development; Patrick Koenig, Founding Principal of Flagler Realty & Development; and Brad Keonig, Vice President. Their participation reflects the strong public-private collaboration and shared commitment to the continued revitalization of the South End.
Construction is officially underway, with first move-ins anticipated in Q3 2026 and full project completion expected by the end of the year. As West Palm Beach continues to grow and evolve, Verdex is proud to play a part in shaping its future through high-quality, impactful projects like 8111 S.
