French luxury brand Cartier has opened a new boutique in Palm Beach. The company signed a lease at 70 Royal Poinciana Plaza, occupying part of the historic Royal Poinciana Playhouse, according to a Cartier news release.
Cartier, based in Paris and nearly two centuries old, is known for its jewelry, watches, leather goods, fragrances, and accessories. Cyrille Vigneron currently leads the company.
Royal Poinciana Plaza spans 192,000 square feet and was developed in the 1950s. The playhouse within the plaza was completed in 1958 and designed by architect John Volk in the Regency Revival style. Ownership of the plaza belongs to a trust led by Sidney Spiegel, while WS Development from Boston holds a leasehold interest.
The opening follows other recent leases at Royal Poinciana Plaza including Hill House Home (apparel and home goods), ScandyCandy (Swedish candy store), and La Coqueta (British childrenswear boutique). Details on the exact size of Cartier’s leased space were not disclosed.
