Overview
Palm Island, Miami Beach
Palm Island is a guard-gated private island in Biscayne Bay, sharing the MacArthur Causeway approach with Hibiscus and Star. Its generous, largely waterfront lots and controlled access make it one of Miami Beach's most coveted estate enclaves. As with its sister islands, the fabric is essentially built out, so new construction means a considered teardown-and-rebuild under City of Miami Beach review, with seawall, dock, and flood elevation integral to the design.
Why Sabal in Palm Island
Why Sabal in Palm Island
Sabal built 135 Palm Ave and knows the island first-hand — the single-gate delivery logistics, the Miami Beach design-review path, and the seawall and elevation engineering that bayfront estates require. On a finite island where every project is visible to the neighbors, that discipline is what keeps a build smooth from demolition to certificate of occupancy.
