The Royal Poinciana Plaza in Palm Beach
Settled on the corner of Royal Poinciana Way and Cocoanut Row in Palm Beach is the newly renovated Royal Poinciana Plaza or now simply known as The Royal.
The Plaza was designed and built by architect John Volk and was completed in 1957. John Volk was best known for designing homes for the Fords, Vanderbilts, Du Ponts, Dodges, and Pulitzers. The iconic Plaza is an example of his signature Palm Beach style that has recently just completed a renovation and restoration that has been ongoing for the last couple of years.
The Royal was sold to Up Markets, a division of WS Development in Boston in September 2014. Volk in the 1950’s was ahead of his time when he designed the plaza based on the European architecture and elaborate courtyards. The restoration brought the plaza back to the way it was originally envisioned.
The property has been completely restored to its original mid-century look. The 180,000 square foot building has terrazzo flooring, signage and design details that look original, intricate metalwork, fresh new landscaping, and more.
Today, The Royal offers the ultimate shopping and entertainment destination in Palm Beach. The plaza is surrounded two courtyards with outdoor seating to sit and enjoy the list of events, food and coffee from one of several restaurants, and shopping.
The Royal also added 30 new tenants to the list of 50 tenants already filled with shops, hair salons, spas and restaurants located in the plaza. Some of the tenants include Hermes, Palm Beach Grill, Saint Laurent, Gucci, Sant Ambroeus, Cynthia Rowley, Theory, The Honor Bar, Vespa Palm Beach, TooJay’s Gourmet Deli, and much more.
The Royal Poinciana Plaza is located at 340 Royal Poinciana Way in Palm Beach.
