1260 North Palm Residences (Obsidian) — FLUEDRA proceeding
Description
A proposed roughly 18-story, 14-unit tower on a quarter-acre lot beside Bay Plaza. The special magistrate recommended the Commission reverse its denials; after hours of testimony, the Commission rejected that recommendation 3-2, upholding the denial.
Impact summary
The City Commission denied it on Nov 2, 2026.
The tower would rise next to Bay Plaza condos on Palm Avenue, bringing years of construction traffic, trash pickup on a primary street and major height contrast; opponents say it threatens the character of historic Palm Avenue.
