What is Happening on Jupiter Island??
In the last 18 mos. a developer has torn down existing condos
and is building Seaglass. He is now in process of purchasing an
additional 3 condo buildings on Jupiter island to be destroyed so
more multi million dollar condos can be built.
- families and many seniors are being forced out of their homes
during a pandemic
- prices have sky rocketed on the island with news of the
developmental take-over and actual offers made by the
developer to multiple condo owners
- these Tequesta residents can no longer afford to live on Jupiter
Island which some have called home for over 40 years

- misinformation is being circulated to the Jupiter Island
residents causing fear and uncertainty
- there is a significant increase of trash along Beach Rd. since
construction began and will most likely continue with more
development
- there is measurable traffic slow down and congestion due to
cement trucks, construction worker's cars, construction
service vehicles such as electric, plumbing, A/C, window
vendors etc.
- increased population of high rises brings more traffic to Beach
Rd., more people on our beaches and on the intracoastal,
which causes more trash and higher demand of utilities and
Tequesta's natural resources
- what happens when the US 1 bridge goes under construction
and developers begin more construction on the island?
- will traffic congestion increase on and off the island and the
extra weight of trucks and machinery compromise the safety
of our bridge onto the island?
- how safe will it be for Tequesta residents with such an increase
in population?
- how does this construction and increase in population impact
our marine and wildlife (ie turtle nesting areas, birds,)
With the continued development of Jupiter Island, the concerns I
have articulated are wildly inconsistent with the Vision, Mission
and Quality of Life objectives of the Village of Tequesta.
Jupiter Island is a unique, peaceful, clean and safe place to live.
How can the Village of Tequesta allow that to be destroyed?
