9 Via Parigi was built in 1924 for Singer sewing machine heir Paris Singer as an office building, with a top-floor real estate office intended to impress clients with panoramic views across Palm Beach and the Everglades Club golf course.

Bedrooms: 8 Bathrooms: 9 Interior: 799 m² / 8,596 sq ft Lot: 243 m² / 2,614 sq ft

Key Features: Six-floor mixed-use Palm Beach tower off Worth Avenue, designed by Addison Mizner, with ground-floor retail space, three separate apartments, a two-level penthouse, fireplaces, two balconies, views over the Everglades Club golf course, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Intracoastal Waterway, plus a two-car garage and landmark status dating to 1983.

9 Via Parigi is not a typical Palm Beach listing. The six-floor tower off Worth Avenue is an entire mixed-use building: retail space at street level, three apartments above, and a two-level penthouse that was home for more than 50 years to coal heiress Mimi Galloway Duncan.

Designed by Addison Mizner, the Mediterranean Revival architect who helped define Palm Beach’s visual identity, the property is now asking $32.9 million with Christian Angle Real Estate, reduced from its original October 2025 asking price of $37.9 million.

In the 1920s, Palm Beach was being shaped into an elite winter resort, and Paris Singer was one of the figures driving that transformation. An heir to the Singer sewing machine fortune, he commissioned Addison Mizner to design the Everglades Club, one of early Palm Beach’s defining private clubs, and later worked with him on the Via Parigi district off Worth Avenue.

Mizner gave that world its architectural language: a romantic Mediterranean Revival style that blended Spanish, Mediterranean, Moorish, and Italian influences into the look now closely associated with Palm Beach.

9 Via Parigi sits directly inside that history. Built for Singer in 1924 as a real estate office building, the tower was designed not only as a working address, but as a way to present Palm Beach itself. From its top-floor office, clients could look across the Everglades Club golf course and the resort world Singer and Mizner were helping to create around Worth Avenue.

Later converted from an office building into a mixed-use residential tower, the property became closely associated with Mimi Galloway Duncan, the Memphis-born coal heiress and Palm Beach society figure who lived in the penthouse for more than 50 years.

Duncan was not simply a society name attached to the property. Her family history connected Memphis coal wealth, Southern publishing, civic philanthropy, and Palm Beach club life. Her grandfather Colonel Robert Galloway founded the Galloway Coal Mining Company and the Memphis Zoo, while her maternal grandfather, C.P.J. Mooney, edited The Commercial Appeal, which won a Pulitzer Prize for its reporting on the Ku Klux Klan. Duncan later wrote the newspaper’s society column, “Penelope’s Peeps,” before becoming a longtime figure in Palm Beach’s social and cultural circles, including more than five decades as a member of the Everglades Club. She died in April 2025 at 103.

Her long residence turned the building from a Mizner-designed commercial landmark into a private Palm Beach social address.

Architecturally, the tower is unusually prominent for Via Parigi. It rises above the lower-scaled buildings around it, with rough stucco, arched openings, balconies, black metal railings, and a street-level arcade that place it firmly within Mizner’s Mediterranean Revival vocabulary. The property was listed as a landmark in 1983.

The six-floor tower off Worth Avenue is an entire mixed-use building: retail space at street level, three apartments above, and a two-level penthouse.

The building sits within the historic Worth Avenue vias, a network of small pedestrian passages, courtyards, arcades, shops, offices, and residences that gave Palm Beach a more intimate alternative to a conventional shopping street.

Via Parigi is not only a retail address. In this case, it functions almost like a private vertical compound: commercial frontage at street level, separate residences above, and a penthouse at the top.

The penthouse includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, fireplaces, a den, and two balconies with views over the Everglades Club golf course, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Intracoastal Waterway. Below it are three additional apartments, including one three-bedroom residence and two one-bedroom units, one of which includes a den and Juliette balcony. The ground floor includes retail space, storage, utility areas, a formal entry, and a two-car garage.

Nearby, and visible from the penthouse, is Villa Mizner, the Worth Avenue building Addison Mizner designed as his own residence.

What makes 9 Via Parigi notable is not simply its price or its Palm Beach address. It brings together several strands of the island’s history in one building: Paris Singer’s 1920s resort vision, Addison Mizner’s architectural language, the social world around the Everglades Club, and the later private life of Mimi Galloway Duncan in the penthouse above Worth Avenue.
