An ultra-luxury condominium development could rise in the South End of Palm Beach on property now occupied by the oceanfront Ambassador hotel and an adjacent building on the Intracoastal Waterway, an attorney representing the owner has confirmed for the Palm Beach Daily News.
Plans are still in the early stages, but if the midrise project is built in the 2700 block of South Ocean Boulevard, the development would be first new South End condo in more than 15 years .
The property’s owner — a Miami-based company affiliated with super-high-end resort owner Aman — has asked the Town Council to informally review a proposal to revise parts of the zoning code that govern what could be built on the 4½-acre property, land-use attorney Harvey Oyer said Monday.
Those revisions would allow the condo project to proceed without a surge of requests for zoning-code variances, Oyer said, although he said it’s possible that some variances might still be needed, once the development plans are firmed up.
