Nora House West Palm Beach: The Nora District's First Condominium, Buyer's Guide (2026)

Nora House West Palm Beach: The Nora District's First Condominium, Buyer's Guide (2026)

Nora House is a planned 11-story condominium with 117 residences in the Nora District, the mixed-use neighborhood taking shape just north of downtown West Palm Beach. It is the district's first residential building and its first for-sale homes. The Ronto Group, a Naples-based developer led by president Anthony Solomon, is developing it with the Nora District partnership of NDT Development, Place Projects and Wheelock Street Capital. Swedroe Architecture designed the building, Lillian Wu Studio of New York is the interior designer and Design Studio Boca is named as landscape architect in Douglas Elliman's project listing.

Sales launched in March 2026 with pricing from the high $1 millions. Residences have two to four bedrooms, from just under 1,500 to just over 2,900 square feet under air, and the developers anticipate a mid-2027 groundbreaking and 2029 completion.

Unlike most new West Palm Beach condos, Nora House is not on Flagler Drive. Its appeal is the district around it: restaurants and shops in converted warehouses, a new hotel across the street and a walkable street grid. This guide covers the residences, the amenity program, the district's progress and how Nora House compares with other new condos in the city. For the wider market, see our West Palm Beach guide.

Nora House at a glance

Sources are The Ronto Group's March 2026 sales-launch release, PROFILEmiami's March 2026 report, WFLX's April 2026 report and Douglas Elliman's project listing. Elliman's listing describes the building as 10 stories; the developer's release says 11.

Residences and sizes

The published range runs from just under 1,500 to just over 2,900 square feet under air, in two-, three- and four-bedroom plans. Swedroe Architecture's project page gives a similar range of about 1,465 to 2,960 square feet. Douglas Elliman notes that its figures are measured to the exterior of the walls, which can be larger than the interior area the condominium declaration uses, so compare plans on the same basis.

The developers have not published sizes by bedroom type or how many of each type there are. Treat the bottom of the range as the smallest two-bedroom plan and the top as the largest four-bedroom only if the floor plans confirm it.

Some fourth-level residences have expanded terraces, bringing their total area to as much as 6,700 square feet including outdoor space. The fourth floor is also where the main pool deck sits, so ask how close each terrace residence is to the shared amenity areas.

The plan has changed since it was first proposed. When Florida YIMBY reported the proposal in August 2025, it described two- and three-bedroom plans of about 1,650 to 2,640 square feet averaging about 1,900 square feet, and about 19,700 square feet of retail. The sales launch added four-bedroom plans and widened the size range.

Finishes

The developers list a Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliance package, Italkraft cabinetry, wide-plank hardwood flooring and quartz and honed quartzite surfaces. Swedroe describes expansive outdoor living areas and views of the city, with Intracoastal and ocean views from upper floors; ask which lines have water views, since the building is about 11 stories and set back from the waterfront.

Amenities

The amenity program is spread across the fourth floor and the roof:

Fourth-level pool deck

• Landscaped courtyard with two grilling areas
• Lap pool and a separate spa pool
• Six guest suites, which Swedroe describes as west-facing

Rooftop, indoor

• Fitness center
• Spa with steam rooms, a sauna, a massage treatment room and hot and cold plunge pools
• Sports and game lounge with table tennis, billiards, arcade games and a bar
• Two-lane bowling alley
• Golf simulator
• Social room with catering capability

Rooftop, outdoor

• Second pool with a sun shelf and spa
• Outdoor bar and social terrace, fire pit with seating
• Elevated yoga lawn
• Two pickleball courts

Swedroe's project page also lists co-working offices and meeting space in the residential lobby, street-level bicycle storage and separate resident storage. For a 117-residence building this is a broad list, and it will be paid for through the association budget, which has not been published.

Location: the Nora District

The Nora District takes its name from North Railroad Avenue. It sits just north of 7th Street and north of downtown West Palm Beach, in a former warehouse area that the district's partners are redeveloping in phases. Local officials have called it the biggest redevelopment in the area since CityPlace opened, according to WFLX.

Phase one tenants announced so far include Del Mar Mediterranean, Loco Taqueria & Oyster Bar, H&H Bagels, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Juliana's Pizza, Rumble and Solidcore. In April 2026, Commercial Observer reported that the group behind Nami Nori had leased space for a hand-roll restaurant slated to open in 2027. WFLX reported that Nora House will replace an empty lot across from the hotel.

Downtown West Palm Beach, Clematis Street and the Flagler Drive waterfront are a short drive south, and Palm Beach is reached over the Flagler Memorial Bridge. Buyers who want the waterfront itself will find it on Flagler Drive; buyers who want to walk to dinner in a newer district will find Nora House's position useful.

Timeline

As of October 2026, construction had not started. Plan for a multi-year wait between contract and closing, and treat 2029 as a target, not a commitment.

Pricing

At the March 2026 launch, pricing started in the high $1 millions. In April 2026, sales director Chris Scott told WFLX that the larger residences reach about $5 million to $6 million. The developers have not published a price list or prices by plan. There are no MLS listings or recorded sales for the building yet, and the deposit schedule and projected association fees have not been published.

How Nora House compares with other new West Palm Beach condos

Nora House sits in the same entry price band as Mr. C, Olara and Banyan Tree. The differences are setting and scale: Olara and Shorecrest are on the Intracoastal, Mr. C and Banyan Tree are downtown towers, and Nora House is a mid-rise in a new mixed-use district with the longest timeline of the group. Our Shorecrest guide covers a waterfront alternative on North Flagler Drive.

How to evaluate Nora House before you buy

1. Ask for plan-specific square footage. Get the interior area as defined in the condominium documents, not only the exterior-wall measurement used in marketing.
2. Check view lines. At 11 stories, water views depend on floor and orientation, and later district phases could change what you see. Ask what is planned on neighboring parcels.
3. Request the deposit schedule and contract terms. Groundbreaking is not expected until mid-2027. Ask what is due at reservation and at contract, where deposits are held and what happens if construction starts late.
4. Get the proposed budget. Two pools, a bowling alley, a golf simulator, pickleball courts and six guest suites are shared by 117 owners. Ask for the projected assessment per square foot.
5. Understand the mixed-use setting. The building has ground-floor commercial space and sits beside a hotel and restaurants. Ask about parking, noise, deliveries and how the commercial units share costs.
6. Read the rental and pet rules in the condominium documents, since neither has been published.

Our guide on why buy pre-construction covers the contract questions that apply to any new building, and you can browse other pre-construction condos for comparison.
