The Palace Frequently Asked Questions
❯ What makes the building different from other 1990s Bal Harbour towers?
Density and design. Six residences per floor across 21 stories means genuine privacy, and the ocean-blue glass curtain wall gives the tower a distinctive, modern silhouette that still reads contemporary. Private elevator foyers, service quarters, and private entrances in most units add a townhouse-like layer of seclusion.
❯ Who designed and developed it?
The tower was designed by architect Clement DiFillippo — also behind Bal Harbour Tower and Bal Harbour 101 — for the Pru-Shel Development Partnership. DiFillippo's Bal Harbour work from the late 1980s and 1990s helped define the village's modern oceanfront skyline.
❯ What are the floor plans and sizes?
Residences at The Palace range from about 1,690 to 3,690 square feet in one- to three-bedroom layouts, with open floor plans, high ceilings, and views of the Atlantic and Intracoastal Waterway. The larger plans with private elevator entry trade at the top of the building's range, recently around $4.3–$4.6 million for 3,690-square-foot homes.
❯ Is there really a restaurant in the building?
Yes — an oceanfront fine-dining restaurant serves residents on site, a genuine rarity among Bal Harbour condos. The amenity roster also includes a full-service spa, heated pool with poolside cabanas, direct beach access, a top-tier fitness center, tennis courts, a basketball court, a playground and playroom, a party room, and a billiard room, with 24-hour security and valet parking.
❯ Can I lease my unit, and are pets allowed?
Leasing at The Palace is permitted with a 180-day minimum term and up to two leases per year, and association approval is required. The building is pet-friendly for both owners and renters, subject to restrictions — a practical plus for buyers who travel with animals or want rental flexibility.
❯ How is the location?
The building sits one block from the Bal Harbour Shops, with Starbucks, Publix, Aventura Mall, and Haulover Marina all close by. South Beach is about 25 minutes south, and both Miami International and Fort Lauderdale airports are roughly a half-hour drive — a convenient, central position for a beachfront address.

Privacy by Design at The Palace
Six units per floor is the number that defines daily life here: uncrowded elevators, quiet corridors, and a community small enough that staff know residents by name. The oversized balconies run the width of the residences, turning the ocean-blue glass facade into a series of private outdoor rooms. For buyers comparing vintage Bal Harbour stock, Tiffany Bal Harbour offers a similar era with larger gardens, while Bal Harbour Tower brings the same architect's hand to even grander floor plans.
Dining and the Bal Harbour Lifestyle
The on-site oceanfront restaurant changes the ownership equation: residents can host dinners or grab a meal without leaving the building, then walk the beach or cross to the Shops. Combined with the spa, tennis, and direct pool-to-beach access, the amenity set covers resort life end to end — which is exactly why the building's resale and long-term rental markets both stay liquid.
