Pine Crest West Palm campus backed by $100 million gift

Pine Crest School said it received a $100 million donation from the Stephen M. Ross Foundation as it plans a new campus in West Palm Beach. The private school has been pursuing a third South Florida campus, and city commissioners had tentatively agreed to sell it 57 acres along Roebuck Road near Florida’s Turnpike. A major school investment can influence how buyers and owners view an area’s long term appeal, especially for families focused on education and future growth.
