In this special episode of Boroughs & Burbs, John Engel and Roberto Cabrera explore the rise of West Palm Beach, Florida, as it transforms into “Wall Street South.” With major investment banks, hedge funds, and private equity firms setting up shop, the city is rapidly becoming a financial hub rivaling New York.

Our guests — Kelly Smallridge, President & CEO of the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, and Randi Binder, top agent with Douglas Elliman Palm Beach — share first-hand insights on:

  • Why financial firms are choosing Palm Beach over other markets.

  • How CityPlace and luxury developments like The Bristol have fueled a downtown revival.

  • The impact of hedge fund migration on the local job market, economy, and real estate demand.

  • How West Palm Beach competes with other growth centers while carving out its own identity.

  • The future of “Wall Street South”, from upcoming projects to infrastructure and lifestyle.

    This episode captures the momentum behind Palm Beach’s transformation into a global business and lifestyle destination.
