Nora District, West Palm Beach: Inside the Redevelopment

Shanice Lodge

Why is South Florida’s Real Estate Market Growing?

The South Florida real estate market is HOT—especially in West Palm Beach! According to FloridaRealtors, “In West Palm Beach, retail occupancies are at their record high.”

Ken Himmel, the president of Related Ross, said that the demand is due to the “deliberate and sustained migration of high-net-worth individuals, financial executives and tech leaders to South Florida since the start of the pandemic.” We see this excitement with the upcoming Nora Redevelopment.

What is the Nora Redevelopment?

The Nora Redevelopment in West Palm Beach, A.K.A. the NORA District, is an adaptive reuse project transforming a 40-acre area into a mixed-use neighborhood.
