The Bristol

The Bristol is a 25-story waterfront condominium at 1100 South Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach, built by developers Al Adelson and Eugene Golub and completed in 2019. The tower holds 69 residences on the Intracoastal Waterway, directly across from Palm Beach Island.

I keep a close eye on The Bristol because it set the tone for what ultra-luxury living looks like in downtown West Palm Beach. It remains one of the most exclusive addresses in Palm Beach County.

Building & Amenities

The Bristol was designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz with Revuelta Architecture International, and it was the first new luxury condominium built in downtown West Palm Beach in roughly a decade when it opened. Residences range from three to seven bedrooms, spanning approximately 3,575 to 14,000 square feet, with private elevator entry into most homes and flow-through floor plans that capture both Intracoastal and ocean views.

Amenities include two spas, a full-service beauty salon, a waterfront fitness center, a 75-foot pool with indoor and outdoor jacuzzi, a club lounge, private dining room, card room, conference room, an on-site dog park, and a full building generator. Services include 24-hour concierge and security, valet parking, scheduled car service, and on-demand massage and manicure appointments. Some residences include private, climate-controlled garages, an unusual feature for a high-rise.

HOA & Fees

Based on a review of recent listings, monthly HOA fees at The Bristol generally run from the high single-digit thousands into the high teens of thousands of dollars, depending on residence size and floor. Fees cover building insurance, common area and exterior maintenance, trash, water and sewer, and staffing for the concierge and amenity spaces. Buyers should confirm the current fee for a specific residence directly, since it varies meaningfully across the building's floor plans.

Real Estate

The Bristol holds 69 residences across 25 floors. Current listings generally range from roughly $13 million to $30 million, depending on floor, exposure, and finish level. The building's record sale stands at $28 million, the highest price ever paid for a residence at The Bristol. A separate sale in 2023, brokered by Douglas Elliman, closed just under $20 million, one of several eight-figure resales that reflect how limited supply is at this level along South Flagler Drive.

Location & Schools

The Bristol sits on South Flagler Drive along the Intracoastal Waterway, directly across the water from Palm Beach Island and Worth Avenue. Downtown West Palm Beach, CityPlace, and the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts are all a short walk or drive away, along with the Norton Museum of Art. The Royal Park Bridge connects directly to Palm Beach Island for easy access to the beach, private clubs, and Worth Avenue shopping. Families in the building have access to top private schools nearby, including Palm Beach Day Academy and Rosarian Academy, along with public and charter options within the School District of Palm Beach County.

Working With Me

The Bristol is one of the addresses I watch closely for buyers who want a full-service, ultra-luxury lifestyle on the water without leaving downtown West Palm Beach. If you are considering a residence here, I can walk you through current availability, recent sales, and how the building compares to nearby options.
