One of the more historic spots in the area, the building was once home to The Palm Beach Post's presses. Millions and millions of print copies of The Palm Beach Post and The Palm Beach Daily News were once printed and distributed from this spot.
The Post dismantled the presses and began subcontracting with other facilities in the area to print and distribute the hardcopy paper more than a decade ago.
Other businesses slated to open at The Press this winter are Salons by JC, a salon suite company; Calico, an interior design and fabric retailer; Restore Hyper Wellness, a provider of cryotherapy and other treatments; and Raw Juce, an organic and cold juice restaurant.
The Palm Beach Post continues to rent space in The Press, along with several financial, law and business tenants.
