The Maxwell, a boutique residential project described as steps from Atlantic Avenue, is planned for Downtown Delray Beach, with 23 units priced starting above $1 million. The developer is pitching the low unit count as a more private alternative to high-rise condominium living — a positioning choice that distinguishes the project in a market where many luxury towers lead with scale. A construction timeline, street address, and development team have not been publicly disclosed.
The details available come from the project's own Instagram account, which does not name the developer, architect, or general contractor. What the account does specify: 23 total residences, a sub-high-rise density model, Atlantic Avenue proximity, and starting prices above seven figures. Whether those prices reflect a base-unit floor or a building-wide minimum will likely emerge as the project releases further materials.
At 23 units, The Maxwell would be among the smallest-footprint luxury residential buildings to enter Delray's downtown pipeline. The pitch — walkable access to Atlantic Avenue dining, retail, and beaches combined with a narrow unit count — targets a buyer who wants the location amenity of a downtown address without the neighbor density of a conventional tower. It is a format that has found traction elsewhere in South Florida's upper-tier residential market, where buyers at the $1 million-plus threshold increasingly treat unit count as a feature rather than a liability.
Per the Instagram account, the project positions itself as a response to growing demand for upscale, low-density living in Palm Beach County. The Maxwell's precise site within the Atlantic Avenue corridor has not been confirmed publicly, and no permit filings have surfaced to anchor a construction timeline.
The next disclosures to watch: a street address and City of Delray Beach permit filings will establish what parcel the project occupies, what previously stood there, and how far along the entitlement process has advanced. At 23 units, the building sits in a category where timelines can move relatively quickly once a site is locked and permits are in hand.
