A prestigious private school is one step closer to opening its first Palm Beach County campus.
West Palm Beach city commissioners have approved a tentative agreement to sell 57 acres of city-owned land near Roebuck Road and Florida’s Turnpike to Pine Crest School for $6.6 million. The property will become the school’s third South Florida campus and its largest, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade.
Here’s what to know:
- The West Palm Beach campus will be Pine Crest’s largest, expanding beyond its existing Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton locations.
- City leaders say the school will help attract executives, businesses, and high-income families relocating to the area by increasing access to top-tier private education.
- Most of the property will be restricted for educational use, with a small portion set aside for an access road.
- Proceeds from the land sale will be donated to Roosevelt Elementary School to support academic programs.
The agreement still requires final approval before the sale is completed, but city officials say the project represents another major investment in West Palm Beach’s continued growth and appeal as a destination for businesses and families.
