West Palm Beach station is a train station under construction in West Palm Beach, Florida. It is planned to be part of All Aboard Florida's Brightline rail system, connecting Miami and Orlando International Airport. The station will be located in downtown West Palm Beach, on Evernia Street between Rosemary Avenue and Quadrille Boulevard. This is about half a mile south of the older Florida East Coast Railway station that operated on the same tracks in the first half of the 1900s, next to where Quadrille Boulevard turns south after crossing the Flagler Memorial Bridge.

Engineering
The station will be a Modern style structure with illuminated V-shaped columns supporting the upper concourse echoing the designs of the Miami and Fort Lauderdale stations also under construction on the line. It was planned and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in association with Zyscovich Architects. Planned completion is the end of 2016.
Foundation pouring at the site to construct the $29 million station occurred in early 2016. In March 2016 the raising of the 18 V shaped pillars began. Earlier in the month, a 130-foot crane toppeled over at the site with no injuries.
