A proposed land purchase would replace the 99-year lease behind Edgeworth and bring Family Church its proceeds sooner.
The proposed land purchase
Related Ross is changing a central piece of its Edgeworth plan. The project sponsor intends to buy the Family Church land needed for the condominium project, replacing a 99-year lease, according to an October 5 report by Alexandra Clough in The Palm Beach Post. The purchase price has not been disclosed. The Post reports that it is expected to exceed the roughly $100 million lease agreement, with closing anticipated within the next couple of months. For buyers following South Flagler, the change puts the land arrangement behind Edgeworth back in focus. It also explains how the condominium development could help finance the next chapter of an established downtown church campus.
Why Family Church wants a sale
The appeal for Family Church is receiving its money sooner. Under the lease arrangement, the final payment would have come in February 2028. The sale would accelerate those proceeds to support school expansion and additional church locations, according to the Post. That makes the campus an important part of the development story. The towers and the church’s long-term plans are advancing together on one of South Flagler’s most visible sites.
A new chapter for the church campus
In April 2024, the Post described a new four-story Palm Beach Christian Academy building with classrooms through eighth grade, meeting space and offices. The existing sanctuary was to remain. School rebuilding has accompanied the residential proposal from an early stage. The project has also moved through city review. West Palm Beach’s March 2, 2026 meeting record shows approval of a major amendment to the Family Church Residential Planned Development, covering the campus, residential towers, commercial use and parking.
What Edgeworth is marketing today
Edgeworth’s current official website presents two towers with 184 residences, two- to four-bedroom layouts and pricing from $5.5 million. The project address is 1155 South Flagler Drive, with architecture by Kohn Pedersen Fox and interiors by March and White Design. Related Ross describes more than 93,000 square feet of amenity space. Those are the project sponsor’s current published figures. They should be checked against the latest offering and residence-specific availability when a buyer is ready to compare homes.
What buyers should watch next
The most useful next step is a clear account of the completed land transaction and how it is reflected in the condominium offering. Buyers should ask their buyer-side review and counsel to explain the final ownership structure and any shared access, parking or operating arrangements with the surrounding campus. Location still deserves a residence-by-residence look. The tower, floor, orientation and surrounding buildings will matter when evaluating an individual home’s outlook. A visit to the site can also help buyers understand the relationship between the residential entrances and the active church and school setting. Alongside the land closing, the next practical signals are a confirmed construction schedule, current floor plans and the documents governing the purchase. Those details will show how the revised deal translates into the homes being offered. Edgeworth remains worth watching for the combination it brings to South Flagler: a substantial new residential offering and a renewed community campus. The planned land purchase is the latest step in bringing those pieces together.
