Olara

Most luxury buildings sell square footage and views. Olara sells a lifestyle — and the program behind that claim runs to more than 80,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor wellness, leisure, dining, and waterfront amenities. That scale is the organizing principle behind every decision the developer, Savanna, made when programming this building.

The result is a 26-story tower at 1919 North Flagler Drive where 275 residences will share an amenity program with no parallel in the West Palm Beach pipeline. Nearly all of it is planned for one fully staffed private sixth-floor deck — lap and leisure pools with serviced private cabanas, the waterfront breezeway veranda, the club room, game room, multi-sport simulator, screening room, and children's playroom, all lifted above the street and opened to the Intracoastal. The José Andrés Group is bringing an 8,500-square-foot indoor-outdoor waterfront culinary destination to the building. The Wright Fit and Arch Amenities Group are designing 13,000 square feet of serious wellness infrastructure — not a hotel gym, but a facility with Japanese-style onsen baths, cold plunge, Pilates, open-air yoga, and Normatec recovery. Sollis Health will provide residents with complimentary concierge healthcare. A private marina is planned for Intracoastal water access, with a residents' cruising yacht for catered excursions.

Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by New York's Gabellini Sheppard, and pursuing both LEED Gold and WELL Gold certifications, Olara is currently under vertical construction at 1919 North Flagler Drive with delivery expected in 2028.

The José Andrés Group — the culinary organization behind Jaleo, minibar, Zaytinya, and Bazaar Meat — chose Olara for its first Palm Beaches location. This is not a hotel café or a lobby bar. It is planned at 8,500 square feet, indoor-outdoor on the water with a dockside oyster bar and on-water catering, from one of the most decorated restaurant groups in the world, exclusive to Olara's address.

For residents, the implications go beyond convenience. In-residence dining service is part of the program, extending the kitchen directly into your home. Chef-driven culinary amenities — curated wine, private dining coordination, resident tasting events — are written into the building's lifestyle program rather than offered as a separate commercial service. A restaurant of that pedigree draws diners from well beyond the building it sits in, which is cultural cachet no amount of stone countertops or floor plan square footage can replicate.

When a Michelin-recognized chef commits an exclusive flagship location to a residential building, it is a bet on that building's staying power. It is also a signal to every future buyer, renter, and neighbor about the quality standard the address will maintain over time.

Olara's wellness program is not a line item on an amenity list. The Wright Fit — which has designed fitness and wellness facilities for One57, 432 Park Avenue, and the most demanding ultra-luxury residential projects in New York — collaborated with Arch Amenities Group on a 13,000-square-foot facility designed to function less like a building amenity and more like a private longevity club.

The scope includes: indoor and outdoor turf training lanes, a Pilates studio, an open-air yoga deck, a full recovery spa, a Japanese-style onsen, cold plunge pools, vitality pools, and meditation rooms. Recovery technology includes Normatec compression equipment and Hypervolt massage therapy. Experience showers complete a circuit drawn deeper than what most five-star spas in Palm Beach County offer.

Beyond the facility itself, the Arch Amenities Group's programming model emphasizes staffed, expert-led wellness — not self-service equipment rooms. For the buyer who has been paying $600 per month for a luxury gym membership in New York, the calculus here is immediate. For the seasonal buyer relocating from a northern climate, it addresses one of the practical questions that Olara's price point demands be answered: what does daily life look like, and does this building deliver it at the level we expect?

Olara residents will receive a complimentary one-year membership to Sollis Health, which provides 24/7 access to expert concierge medical care. This is a differentiator that most condo portals overlook, and one that carries substantial weight for a specific and highly relevant buyer profile.

For ultra-high-net-worth buyers, seasonal residents, finance executives relocating from New York or Boston, and older affluent buyers, the question of medical access is not a minor amenity consideration. Sollis Health operates a concierge healthcare model that provides physician access on demand — house calls, same-day appointments, 24-hour nurse lines — at a level that the traditional healthcare system does not offer. An annual membership runs several thousand dollars; at Olara it is included from day one.

No other building in the WPB new construction pipeline offers this partnership. It reflects a sophisticated understanding of what Olara's target buyer actually values — and it positions the building squarely at the intersection of luxury residential and luxury lifestyle management.

Olara's private marina is planned with five dedicated resident boat slips along the Intracoastal — direct waterway access that most WPB condo towers can only gesture toward. Beyond the slips, a captained fishing boat and a private residents' cruising yacht are to be available for catered waterfront excursions — a feature with essentially no direct precedent in the WPB market — alongside white-glove watersport equipment rentals for residents who would rather take the water on themselves.

Twelve guest suites are planned for residents' use — or for purchase outright — addressing one of the practical challenges of Florida luxury living: hosting family and friends without surrendering your own home to them. At a building of this caliber, the guest suites are programmed as an extension of the hospitality program — not just overflow bedrooms. For residents who work from home, the plans also carry private sound-proof offices and conference spaces alongside the co-working lounge.

Resort-level staffing is planned throughout: a 24-hour doorman, valet and porter service, full concierge staff, wellness attendants, private dining coordination, and marina services. The building is also designed with hurricane-rated construction and a backup generator — the kind of infrastructure details that matter in South Florida but rarely make it into the brochure. Olara is positioned not as a luxury condo with amenities, but as a permanently staffed private residence club with all of the services a five-star property delivers — and none of the transient guests.

Olara's 275 residences span two to four bedrooms plus den, with penthouse homes at the upper floors — select penthouses adding expansive outdoor living and private rooftop decks. Pricing begins at $2.2 million and rises to $7.5 million at the penthouse level. Availability now begins on the 16th floor — every residence below it has sold. What remains is the upper half of the tower, where the Intracoastal and Palm Beach Island sightlines lengthen and the entry price has moved up with the elevation.

Interior specifications are defined by the same no-compromise standard as the amenities. Living areas are drawn at 9'6" ceiling heights, with 8-inch white oak flooring throughout. Kitchens are specified with Calacatta marble — including a double waterfall island — paired with a full Gaggenau appliance suite: steam oven, combi-steam oven, warming drawer, induction cooktop, dishwasher, integrated refrigerator/freezer, and wine cooler. Bathrooms receive brushed brass Hansgrohe fixtures and Duravit sanitary ware. Ten-foot terraces extend every plan outward toward the water or the city.

Every residence is specified with a climate-controlled butler closet — a hotel-quality arrival and departure feature rarely seen in residential buildings — two EV-capable assigned parking spaces, and a private 5'×5' storage unit. The Olara Residents App will integrate concierge services, package management, and building communications into a single platform.

The construction team is Savcon + Gilbane, building on a design by Arquitectonica with interiors by New York's Gabellini Sheppard and landscape architecture by EDSA. The project is pursuing both LEED Gold and WELL Gold certifications. Delivery expected 2028.

Olara's address at 1919 North Flagler Drive is not incidental to its value proposition — it is central to it. The building sits on the Intracoastal Waterway at the approach to the Flagler Memorial Bridge, which means Palm Beach island is literally across the water: Worth Avenue, The Breakers, the Royal Poinciana Plaza, and the concentrated luxury retail and dining that has defined Palm Beach for a century are minutes away without a highway.

To the north, the Rybovich Superyacht Marina anchors one of the most significant waterfront redevelopment corridors in the Southeast. The Palm Beach Yacht Club and Palm Harbor Marina provide additional water access points within walking distance. Currie Park offers waterfront green space steps from the lobby. The building's private marina, 5 boat slips, and residents' cruising yacht connect directly to this waterway infrastructure.

Southward along Flagler Drive, the Brightline West Palm Beach Station is a short drive or The Circuit electric shuttle ride — connecting residents to Miami, Boca, and Fort Lauderdale without a car. Clematis Street, CityPlace / The Square, the Kravis Center, and the Rosemary Avenue restaurant corridor are all within easy reach. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately 15 minutes. This is a neighborhood that has been arriving for a decade and is, by any measure, here.
