15 waterfront condos near Harbourside coming up for vote
JUPITER — More waterfront development may be coming near Harbourside in Jupiter.
A five-story building with 15 condos, a pool and outdoor kitchen on the roof is being considered on a 1-acre site across Indiantown Road from Harbourside Place.
But that means the three-story Profile Art Gallery on the Intracoastal Waterway must be demolished first.
The Town Council plans a vote on initial approval on July 18.

without getting in their car. That’s a big selling point,” said Richard Witham, the registered agent of Jupiter Investments, the developers of the site, which would be called Cornerstone.
Jupiter Investments bought the property for $507,000 in 1993, according to Palm Beach County records.
The developers plan to spend about $16 million and hope to begin construction in about a year. Opening would be about a year later.
Witham figures the condos, which will be about 3,000 square feet, would start at about $900,000.
“The demand right now in housing is for urban living. We are supplying that demand,” he said.
Cornerstone would have about 2,500 square feet of office-retail space on the first floor. Parking for about 44 vehicles would be below the building. A public boat dock is planned. The site is on the southwest corner of Indiantown Road and U.S. 1.
Witham was involved in the development of Jupiter by the

Smitty, her orange tabby, was found under a bed. He initially seemed in good health but then started wheezing and coughing from the smoke he inhaled, Capt. Dave Walesky said.
The shelter sent him to a specialist for treatment over the July Fourth holiday.
“We held him for a day here and then realized he needed some special care,” Walesky said of the soot-covered cat.
Smitty has recuperated and will stay at Palm Beach County Animal Care & Control until his owner’s sister arrives from Tennessee to retrieve him and a pit bull named Hero, Walesky said.
The cat is very friendly, and the dog is healthy, he said.
Palm Beach County Animal Care & Control typically holds animals for about five days, but “once we start working with family, we can certainly hold them a little bit longer,” Walesky said.
Meanwhile, a Yorkshire terrier named Riley has been credited with barking for help.
The 8-pound dog woke up Dennis Curtis, who saw “the whole glass door covered with flames” and sounded the alarms.
Riley reveled in minor celebrity as residents surrounded him at the neighborhood clubhouse after the fire.
Neighbors said the woman was a loner who rarely appeared outside her ground-floor apartment.
The fire appeared to have started in the living room, Curtis said.
