Groundbreaking held for two office towers at 10 and 15 City Place in West Palm Beach
Summary
Organizers marked the start of construction for two upscale office buildings at 10 and 15 City Place. Each building is planned to offer up to 500,000 square feet; Cleveland Clinic has leased space at 15 City Place for an outpatient facility.
Cheryl Khan, a WPB TV reporter, said a groundbreaking ceremony marked the start of construction for two new office buildings at 10 and 15 City Place in West Palm Beach and that each building will offer up to 500,000 square feet of office space.
The project — described at the ceremony as upscale and elegant — is planned to include indoor and outdoor workspaces and private terraces. “The sleek new buildings will offer up to 500,000 square feet of office space each,” Khan said. She also reported that the Cleveland Clinic has leased space at 15 City Place for a new outpatient facility that is expected to work alongside the health system’s new downtown hospital.
An event participant exclaimed, “Who would ever think that a 1,000,000 square foot office structure would be going up in West Palm Beach,” reflecting attendees’ surprise about the scale of the development. An event speaker briefly emphasized local hiring goals, saying the project should create jobs for people from nearby, under-resourced neighborhoods.
Organizers and speakers at the ceremony framed the buildings as part of West Palm Beach’s broader effort to attract businesses to the area often called “Wall Street South.” No construction timelines, financing details, tenant square-footage commitments beyond the Cleveland Clinic lease, or specific local hiring guarantees were provided during the remarks recorded in the segment.
