Formerly known as the Flamingo, it was originally designed to be Florida’s first Casino Resort Hotel. Construction of the magnificent 25 Story, eleven acre resort was completed in 1987. Unfortunately, when a South Florida Gambling Bill didn’t pass, plans for the casino were shelved and the project became less feasible. At the time, the construction costs for the project’s extravagant casino hotel design, including floor to ceiling windows throughout and expansive amenities could not be supported by condominium sales or apartment rental income.

In 1995, the property was purchased from the bank that funded the construction and was operated as an apartment building. Facilities were upgraded, including the addition of retail spaces, a fitness center, landscaping, a new lobby and fountains.

In July 2003, GrandView Palace was converted from an apartment building to a condominium.

In 2012 the pool deck was completely renovated offering a serene and beautiful location for residents to relax and enjoy the Southern Florida sunshine.

In January 2015 a new Board of Directors was elected with a mandate to modernization the property and bring positive changes to the governance of the building. Since taking over, they have been tirelessly working towards these goals and have promoted inclusiveness amongst all property stake holders.

The future of GVP looks bright, it takes the will of a few to get things started, and the will of many to get things accomplished.
