Multi-million dollar love shack of Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. a question mark after breakup
Welcome to The Dirt! I’m real estate, weather and critter reporter Kimberly Miller with the latest developments in the sizzling market.
The Dirt is pleased to learn that the Cox family is still active in Palm Beach real estate. After amicably parting ways 😂 with The Palm Beach Post and the Palm Beach Daily News a few years ago, it seems a $30.795 million home sold this month on Clarke Avenue to someone, or more precisely to a secretive Delaware LLC, tied to Cox Enterprises.
Clarke Avenue is a gateway to an OK surf break so even though we are no longer acquainted, throw a girl a bone and let me park in front of your house? Maybe snag one of those Arc of the Covenant-worthy residential parking permits on the sly? Please? Ok, probably not. That’s a town no-no, I’m sure.

Anyhoo, the home was landmarked in 2002 with its original design attributed to noted society architect Marion Sims Wyeth, who also shredded some tasty waves now and then. In fact, he did not shred tasty waves as far as we know. But he did draw some neat houses.
In other real estate news, a major national financial firm is coming to downtown, West Palm Beach’s SoSo could get that boutique grocery store it has always wanted, Kimberly Guilfoyle’s love shack with Donald Trump Jr. is a question mark, and iguanas are mobilizing for world domination.
Now that Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle are kaput, who gets the house?

She’s headed to Greece and he’s courting socialite Bettina Anderson, or is it the other way around? Either way Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. have got a multi-million house together in the ultra-exclusive Admirals Cove development in Jupiter that they may or may not be trying to unload.
It doesn’t appear to be officially on the market, but it may be a pocket listing or being quietly shopped around. The former couple bought the stunning waterfront home for $9.7 million in 2021 and have it homesteaded, which means they consider it their primary residence.
Boutique grocery story headed to West Palm Beach’s South of Southern Boulevard neighborhood
Renderings of an 8-story apartment complex, retail shops and a grocery store under construction at 8111 S. Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach. The project broke ground in November 2024.
It’s the best kept secret since who shot J.R. but developers of 8111 S. Dixie promise there really is an “urban specialty grocer” moving into their new project just south of Palm Coast Plaza. We just have to wait for the mystery grocer to make the announcement.
The suspense is killing me. A Trader Joe’s would be nice, or a Sprouts, how about a mini Joseph’s Classic Market? Orrrrrr, and this would be so over-the-top, but Whole Foods announced in March that it was debuting new small-format stores ranging between 7,000 and 14,000 square feet. Could it possibly be true? Be still my beating heart, sigh.
Beaches, sunshine and iguana poo
Green iguanas bask on the Lake Worth Community High School pool deck in Lake Worth Beach, Fla., on December 4, 2024. The iguanas navigate their fecal detritus that has caused the pool closure.
People moving to South Florida probably didn’t have on their radar that an invasive species may be targeting their pool for a toilet, but it’s happening. Oh, is it happening. There was so much iguana poop at Lake Worth Community High School’s pool that the aging filtration systems couldn’t keep up.
Iguanas cause all kinds of other headaches for homeowners — they eat flowers, they burrow, they get on electric lines and cause blackouts, they take your daughter on a date and stay out past curfew. All kinds of shenanigans. You can kill them, but you have to be nice about it.
Wall Street South continues to earn its reputation with Edward Jones consolidating in West Palm Beach
Cushman & Wakefield’s Anthony Librizzi stands in a second floor space just leased to Edward Jones financial advisors. The space is at 111 Olive, a renovated 1936 building in downtown West Palm Beach.
National Finance advisory firm Edward Jones is renting an entire floor of a historic office building in downtown West Palm Beach, adding a central location to its small offices throughout the county. The newly leased space at the Banyan & Olive complex at Olive Avenue and Clematis Street may be part of a resurgence of Clematis business district, which has seen its ups and downs over the decades.
There are also around four marijuana dispensary businesses open on Clematis, so at least that industry is thriving on the city’s main drag. Adding some financial firms will at least mix it up a bit, but periodic drug testing may be in order. Just saying.
Live lightly.
