What Royal Palm Companies does

Royal Palm Companies (RPC), formerly RPC Holdings, is a Florida-based privately held real estate development firm founded in 1982 and headquartered in Miami. The company operates as a vertically integrated developer across luxury mixed-use, hospitality, branded residences, and multifamily rental, anchored by proprietary product brands PARAMOUNT, Legacy, Grand Reserve, Elevate, and the trademarked MicroLuxe interior concept. Its portfolio spans completed development exceeding $3.5 billion and 6,000+ units across more than 10 million sq. ft., with a stated active pipeline of over $2 billion.

The firm's delivery model combines land acquisition, entitlement (including a first-mover re-certification of a Florida coastal high-hazard zone), architectural design, construction, branded sales, and asset management. Notable asset-level differentiators include robotic parking systems, VTOL-ready rooftop design at Paramount Miami Worldcenter, the world's first Blue Zones Center integrated into Legacy Hotel & Residences via a JV with Adventist Health, and Sea Level Rise Mitigation re-certification work. Hospitality operations are executed through a partnership with Hyatt (Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve, 486 rooms), and multi-family rentals are operated under the Elevate brand across five Florida metros. Co-development and JV capital flows through Participant Capital, the firm's wholly owned capital subsidiary founded in 2011 and led by CEO Daniel Kodsi.

RPC makes money through a mix of one-time condominium and branded-residence sales (Nautilus 220 units priced $1.3M-$4M+), recurring hospitality operations under the Hyatt flag, recurring multifamily rental income via the Elevate platform, transactional fees from asset repositioning, and professional services / capital management through Participant Capital. The go-to-market targets ultra-high-net-worth individuals, hotel operators and investors, and institutional real estate investors via direct on-site sales centers and a global broker network, while earning continued broadcast and print media exposure through CEO-led thought leadership.
