Luxury Condo Development Olara Breaks Ground in West Palm Beach, Announces Partnership with José Andrés Group

New York-based developer Savanna announced a new partnership with the José Andrés Group at Olara , the most anticipated new luxury residential condominium on West Palm Beach’s waterfront. Renowned Chef José Andrés will bring his first new restaurant concept in the Palm Beaches to Olara, which will be open to the public to enjoy. Additionally, residents of Olara will have access to exclusive culinary services, including food and beverage provisions throughout the tower’s amenity spaces and private, in-residence dining. Located on the ground floor of Olara, the new waterfront concept will occupy 8,500 square feet featuring both indoor and outdoor dining to allow guests to embrace al fresco dining. Olara recently celebrated its official start of construction at a groundbreaking ceremony in early March. With the building being readied for 2027 completion, this major construction milestone led by SavCon and Gilbane signifies the transformation of the waterfront of West Palm Beach into a premier destination offering condominium residences, a private dock, world-class culinary experiences and an unprecedented lifestyle for sophisticated clientele. Sales are exclusively handled by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing . Chef José Andrés “We’re excited to be announcing our partnership with José Andrés Group, as well as our groundbreaking on what will become one of the most transformative developments in West Palm Beach,” said Chris Schlank, President and Co-Chairman of Savanna. “We’re introducing a unique luxury residential concept that this area hasn’t seen yet, and we’re excited to collaborate with this impressive chef to elevate the neighborhood not only for our buyers but for the entire community.” Sam Bakhshandehpour, President of José Andrés Group stated, “West Palm Beach has truly become Wall Street South, an epicenter for finance as well as a thriving residential community. The investment being made here in year-round waterfront living is what attracted us at José Andrés Group to be a part of Olara’s ambitious plans for West Palm Beach.” Offering inspiring views of the Atlantic Ocean, Palm Beach Island and the Intracoastal Waterway, Olara is a 26-story tower designed by Arquitectonica to be reflective of the idyllic nautical landscape that surrounds it.
