Banyan Tree Residences and Olara are both in West Palm Beach. Here they are side by side, in the developers’ own words, with nothing added but the order.
This page compares. Whether either building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.

Two answers to two different questions. The desk asks the question first.
Developer materials for Banyan Tree Residences and Olara as carried on the live dossiers, verified September 2026. Compiled by the desk at Miami Dossier; figures are approximate and the developers’.
Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current release, the plans by line and the deposit structure of either building, discussed one to one.
A private report on the Miami market, sent when there is something worth knowing. No noise, no listings, no pressure.
Received. A note from the desk is on its way. If it has not arrived within a few minutes, please check your spam folder and mark it as not spam, so we can reach you.
We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what applies to your situation, what does not, and where we would not proceed. For these two that usually means the question before the building. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
The Miami Dossier team works for the buyer, not the developer. Every agent on Samuel Strauch’s team represents buyers in Miami pre-construction.
A person replies within 24 hours, usually much sooner. On weekends, back on Monday morning.
