Like everywhere else in South Florida, developers are betting big on West Palm Beach, and there’s plenty of construction financing for projects, too.

Developers have dropped at least $186.2 million on land purchases for development since 2015, according to an analysis by The Real Deal. During the same timeframe, big-name financiers like J.P. Morgan Chase put up $422.4 million in construction financing so developers can build condos, apartments and townhomes.

TRD’s analysis shows that nearly a dozen projects with 682 condos, 1,414 apartments, and 727 townhomes are in the works in West Palm Beach.

Much of South Florida is undergoing a boom in residential construction. An analysis of ongoing projects in Miami’s Brickell, Edgewater, Wynwood, downtown Miami, and downtown Fort Lauderdale also show significant developer activity.
