The New York-based Related Companies, led by Stephen Ross, is under contract to acquire the Phillips Point office complex in West Palm Beach for roughly $282 million. The seller, AEW Capital Management, acquired the property for $245 million in 2015. Related Companies will oversee asset management and leasing.

Phillips Point is located at 777 South Flagler Drive, at the foot of the Royal Palm Bridge, and was developed in 1985. The twin-tower Class A office complex has a tenant list that includes top financial firms Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley as well as law firms Greenberg Traurig, Gunster and Akerman. The transaction comes at a time when a number of financial firms are moving from high tax northern states to Florida.

Stephen Ross and Related Companies are no stranger to West Palm Beach, having developed Rosemary Square, previously called CityPlace, a mixed-use project with dining, shopping and residential components. Related Companies is also planning to break ground on One Flagler, a 270,000 square foot, 25-story office tower in on Flagler Drive and OkeeChobee Blvd. in West Palm Beach. Stephen Ross also owns the Miami Dolphins.
