07 Jul Two Roads Development and Alpha Blue Ventures Celebrate Groundbreaking on Forté Luxury Condominium in West Palm Beach

WEST PALM BEACH, FL – March 7, 2022 – Last Thursday evening, Two Roads Development and Alpha Blue Ventures celebrated the groundbreaking of Forté, a new waterfront luxury condominium at 1309 South Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach. The ceremonial event was attended by elected officials, community representatives and future residents, including Jean Louis-Deniot, Suzanne Ainslie, Michael and Meryl Mann, Judy and Jim Harpel, JoAnna and Steve Meyers, Robin and Reuben Jeffreys, Ken Haber, Cynthia Sulzberger and Steven Green, Chad Moss, Jay Parker, Myriam and David Leibowitz, and Caprice Webber. Over 80% of Forté’s 41 residences have sold, with majority of the buyers coming from markets across the domestic U.S. The 24-story boutique tower is on schedule to be completed in approximately three years.

“Our success at the groundbreaking is the direct result of the hard work and collaboration between the various teams working tirelessly to bring this project to life, from the creative minds and designers to the West Palm Beach community and real estate leaders,” said Taylor Collins, managing partner of Two Roads Development. “The strong buyer market we’ve seen for Forté’s inspired design and breathtaking views is a testament to the value it offers to this community.”

“We’re celebrating more than a project milestone for Forté,” said Scott Maslin, founding partner and managing member of Alpha Blue Ventures. “As construction continues, we are watching Forté become a reality that delivers on the investment for buyers and for West Palm Beach.”
