La Clara vs Forté on Flagler: Two Distinct Expressions of South Flagler Luxury
On West Palm Beach’s South Flagler Drive, two waterfront condo towers are often compared by the same buyers, yet they deliver very different versions of ultra-luxury. La Clara, at 1515 S Flagler Dr, positions itself as a resort-style, 83-residence building with a broader mix of layouts and penthouse offerings. Forté on Flagler, at 1309 S Flagler Dr, is intentionally boutique at 41 residences, emphasizing larger-format homes, fewer neighbors, and a highly curated design narrative tied to Arquitectonica and Jean‑Louis Deniot.
