September 1, 2017 Press Release
WEST PALM BEACH, FL – Florida East Coast Industries (FECI), Lincoln Property Company and Moss marked completion of its innovative residential building structure at a “topping out” ceremony today. Under the recently unveiled real estate brand Park-Line, the 290-unit tower in the heart of downtown West Palm Beach will debut fall 2018 offering residences for lease with unparalleled connectivity to the major urban centers of South Florida. The construction milestone of this significant project reemphasizes the demand for new residential buildings connected or in close proximity to transit solutions including Brightline, in urban environments.
“We are pleased to reach another important milestone in the development of Park-Line Palm Beaches and welcome our first residents next year,” said Daniel Quintana, vice president of development for Florida East Coast Industries. “West Palm Beach is a dynamic city, and we look forward to building on the positive impact our unique residence contributes to the community.”
“It’s exciting to see our combined vision take shape as we move closer to completing construction,” said Chuck Shallat, executive vice president of Lincoln Property Company’s Southeast Region. “Park-Line will set a new standard for downtown West Palm Beach living.”
Moss is the general contractor, and the company recently completed construction on the Brightline West Palm Beach train station. The residential building and parking garage was built by approximately 250 workers. The entire Park-Line Palm Beaches structure from foundation to the roof was completed in just 46 weeks. More than 1,000 cubic yards of concrete a week was poured to complete the foundations in just under four weeks, and a total of 35,500 cubic yards of concrete was utilized for the project. Baker Concrete was the concrete subcontractor.
“As a South Florida-based company, with offices located near all the Brightline stations, Moss is very excited to have reached this milestone in Palm Beach County,” said Bob Moss, chairman & CEO of Moss. “We are honored to have partnered with Lincoln Property Company and FECI to construct this residential tower as we continue developing transformative properties in the Palm Beach Community.”
Park-Line Palm Beaches will feature multi-family residences for lease including studio, one and two-bedroom apartments. Every residence will be highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows, classic designer finishes and a collection of unparalleled amenities. Amenities making Park-Line one of the most sought after addresses for today’s professional seeking a modern urban living experience include: a full-service poolside lounge; open-air cross training course; yoga lawn and fitness center with juice bar; private cabanas with outdoor grills and intimate seating areas; shaded dog parks and pet grooming salon; event lawn with movie screen and full social calendar of resident events.
Park-Line Palm Beaches residences will be located within steps of the Brightline express intercity train service connecting Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach with new downtown stations, a fleet of innovative trains and a complete customer-centric operating and communication offering that redefines what it means to travel by train in America. Partnering with Lincoln Property Company, among the most respected and diversified names in residential real estate services, Florida East Coast Industries will bring the Park-Line experience to life.

Clearwater is a city located in Pinellas County, Florida, United States, northwest of Tampa and St. Petersburg. To the west of Clearwater lies the Gulf of Mexico and to the southeast lies Tampa Bay. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 107,685. Clearwater is the county seat of Pinellas County and is the smallest of the three principal cities in the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater metropolitan area, most commonly referred to as the Tampa Bay Area.
Cleveland Street is one of the city's historic avenues, and the city includes BayCare Ballpark and Coachman Park. The city is separated by the Intracoastal Waterway from Clearwater Beach.
Clearwater is the home of Clearwater Marine Aquarium, where bottlenose dolphins Winter and Hope live.
The global headquarters of the Church of Scientology is located in Clearwater; the organization had tried to take over the city in what was called Project Normandy.
By the early 1900s, Clearwater's population had grown to around 400, ballooning to nearly 1,000 in the winter. Clearwater's oldest existing newspaper, the Clearwater Sun, was first published on March 14, 1914. Clearwater was reincorporated, this time as a city, on May 27, 1915, and was designated the county seat for Pinellas County, which broke from Hillsborough County in 1912. In 1915, a bridge was built across Clearwater Harbor, joining the city with Clearwater Beach to the west. Clearwater Beach, although located on a separate barrier island, belongs to the city of Clearwater and fronts the Gulf of Mexico. A new, much higher bridge now arcs over the bay, replacing the former drawbridge; the connecting road is part of State Road 60 and is called Clearwater Memorial Causeway.
During World War II, Clearwater became a major training base for US troops destined for Europe and the Pacific. Virtually every hotel in the area, including the Belleview Biltmore and the Fort Harrison Hotel, was used as a barracks for new recruits. Vehicle traffic was regularly stopped for companies of soldiers marching through downtown, and nighttime blackouts to confuse potential enemy bombers were common practice. The remote and isolated Dan's Island, now the highrise-dominated Sand Key, was used as a target by U.S. Army Air Corps fighter-bombers for strafing and bombing practice.

The Hyatt Regency San Francisco’s Embarcadero Atrium is a true architectural marvel, a space where cutting-edge design and the spirit of the 1970s meld seamlessly. Designed by renowned architect John Portman, this atrium boasts the title of the world’s largest when it first opened in 1973. Stepping inside, visitors are greeted by a towering, light-filled space that rises 17 stories, giving an unparalleled sense of scale and grandeur. The cascading floors and geometric lines draw the eye upwards, with glass elevators whisking guests to their rooms in full view of the vast atrium, adding to the dynamic experience.
What makes the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero Atrium so unique is its daring use of concrete and glass, typical of Portman’s Brutalist-meets-futuristic style. The openness of the space gives it a modern, futuristic feel, yet it still remains welcoming thanks to its thoughtful design. You’ll find lush greenery and water features that soften the industrial elements, offering a serene oasis within bustling downtown San Francisco.
Strategically located along the Embarcadero waterfront, this hotel’s central atrium has hosted numerous high-profile events, even appearing in blockbuster films like High Anxiety and The Towering Inferno. It’s also perfectly situated for visitors wanting easy access to iconic San Francisco landmarks, from the Ferry Building just across the street to the nearby Financial District and North Beach.
Stay at the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero and experience a legendary piece of San Francisco's architectural history firsthand, while enjoying all the luxury and convenience of a world-class hotel.
A moment of architectural clarity is captured in this photograph of a stairwell inside The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. The composition highlights a modest yet elegant interior space where warm wood tones meet the crisp geometry of a floor-to-ceiling grid window. At once intimate and expansive, the image invites viewers to contemplate the intersection of movement, light, and structure.
Framed from the base of the stairs looking upward, the photo guides the eye naturally toward the landing and the tall window that dominates the background. The vertical rhythm of the grid echoes the strong linearity of the wooden railings, which are capped with warm, reddish-brown handrails. These railings are mirrored on both sides of the stairwell, giving the image a symmetrical balance that feels intentional and meditative.
The light entering through the window softens the entire space, giving it a contemplative aura. While the overcast sky outside creates diffused, neutral lighting, it’s this very subtlety that makes the photo so atmospheric. A few bare trees and rooftops are visible through the window, suggesting the photo was taken in late winter or early spring. Their faint presence behind the glass further emphasizes the architectural quiet within.
The stair treads themselves are beautifully crafted, each plank of wood showing its grain and natural color variation. There’s no clutter—no signage, furniture, or even people—just the space and its materials. This lack of distraction allows the viewer to fully experience the harmony of elements at play: the earthy warmth of the wood, the industrial feel of the steel balustrades, the soft gray wall, and the massive grid window that frames the outside world like a living painting.
On the left wall, a single sconce emits a warm glow, reinforcing the inviting quality of the space. The light it casts plays gently across the smooth surface of the wall, introducing a contrast between natural and artificial light sources.
This photo is not just about stairs—it’s about transition. It captures the philosophical idea of ascent, both physical and symbolic. In a museum, staircases often represent movement between conceptual spaces: from one collection to another, or from a quiet personal moment to a grander, public one. Here, the destination is not quite visible, but the path is beautiful in its own right.
It also showcases The Phillips Collection’s commitment to blending traditional architecture with thoughtful modern interventions. While other parts of the museum are more ornate and historical, this stairwell offers a modern counterpoint—calm, clean-lined, and grounded in craft.
In essence, this image turns an everyday subject into an evocative meditation on design and experience. It’s about the journey as much as the destination, captured in light and line, wood and glass, shadow and glow.

Only the Grand Dining Room uses real wooden beams for fire safety reasons. Every detail was carefully thought out. The alcove window at the end of the room perfectly framed Yosemite Falls when the hotel was completed.

Amtrak Superliner II Sightseer Lounge car that has floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy the passing scenery. I have found that ride quality on upper level of a Sightseer lounge car on the Coast Starlight is relatively smoother and offers better views than on low-level cars of other trains.
September 5, 2011, Labor day, Seattle-Sacramento, somewhere on this great journey.
I have seen these illuminated doors when driving past several times but I haven't had my camera on me. This evening I did, so I stopped to get a shot. I find the floor to ceiling windows and the illuminated, colourful doors ever so intriguing. I'd love to know what's concealed behind them
I can't decide if I prefer this shot in black and white or colour, I think I favour the black and white but it seems a shame to lose the yellow doors. I have decided to upload both and I'll be interested what other people think. :)

A huge chimney, and huge drafty windows to expose the private lives of the residents to people out on the street.
