What to know about the proposed 5 high-rises,192 foot building on South Hutchinson Island
The Live Local Act is a state law that allows developers to circumvent local government approvals if at least 40% of a project is set aside for affordable housing. With this law, development is allowed to be built to the maximum height allowed on any property within a mile of the project.
The proposed development on the 42.4-acre Causeway Cove Marina property at 601 Seaway Drive would include:
Five high-rise buildings
2,326 parking spots
1,066 apartment units
204 hotel rooms
198-slip marina
Tens of thousands of square feet of retail space
Here's what to know about the proposed development.
Fort Pierce sewer plant: First master plan released for redevelopment of South Causeway
South Hutchinson Island: 17-story high rises are part of 5-building complex proposed
The proposed development includes five high-rise buildings, which are labeled as Building A, B, C, D and E.
Here's what each building is proposed to have, according to site plans:
Building A:
17-story complex topped out at 192 feet
887-space parking garage
33,284 square feet of commercial space
27,779-square-foot convention center on the ground floor.
215 apartment units
204 hotel rooms
Building A's proposed height would be taller than Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World. The castle stands at 189 feet, according to Walt Disney World's website.
Building B:
17 stories topping out at 186 feet
415 apartment units
440-space parking garage
Building C:
14-story building that would reach 127 feet at its rooftop
164 apartment units
388 parking spots, including some set aside for the planned marina
Other marina amenities and retail spaces would be housed within Building C
Building D:
Same height as Building C
164 apartment units
433 spots
Marina parking and amenities, as well as retail space
Building E:
11 stories, or higher than 118 feet
108 apartment units
178 parking spots
The tallest planned building at Causeway Cove, which is Building A, likely would match or exceed the tallest structures anywhere on South Hutchinson Island.
The normal height limit for the South Beach Overlay District, the parts of South Hutchinson Island inside of Fort Pierce city limits, is 45 feet.
The maximum building height on the island in unincorporated St. Lucie County is 125 feet, with a few high rises that predate those rules stretching to 150-175 feet, county spokesperson Erick Gill said last year. The tallest structures on the island, the containment buildings of the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant, are about 190-200 feet, Gill said.
In Martin County, the limit on the island is just 40 feet.

Hims & Hers Shares Plunge. Is This a Buying Opportunity or Should Investors Run for the Hills?
Key Points Hims & Hers Health continues to post robust growth. Shares sold off, however, after revenue missed analyst expectations. The stock is still reasonably valued given its growth prospects. 10 stocks we like better than Hims & Hers Health › Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) is one of the most volatile stocks on the market at the moment, prone to big swings in either direction. This is true even intraday, as the stock plunged following the company's second-quarter results, only to rally back, only to plunge again. As of this writing, the stock is still trading up more than 130% this year. Let's take a closer look at the most recent earnings results for this telehealth company focused on providing accessible and affordable healthcare solutions for various health and wellness needs, and its prospects. Who knows, you might want to jump in on this somewhat volatile growth stock. Hims saw strong revenue growth in Q2 Hims & Hers continued to deliver outstanding revenue growth in Q2, with sales climbing 73% year over year to $544.8 million. That was toward the high end of its forecast for revenue of $530 million to $550 million, but it missed analyst expectations for revenue of $552 million. Monthly online revenue per subscriber jumped 30% to $74 per month, while the number of subscribers climbed 31% to nearly 2.44 million. The company said that the number of subscribers in both oral weight loss and dermatology grew more than 55% in the quarter. Customers using at least one personalized subscription increased by 89% to 1.5 million, representing more than 60% of the Hims & Hers subscriber base. It said that 70% of new patients who join the platform use a personalized treatment plan, and that the number of subscribers using a personalized treatment plan to treat multiple conditions skyrocketed 170% to more than 500,000. Revenue from GLP-1 weight loss drugs fell from $230 million in Q1 to $190 million in Q2, after Novo Nordisk ended a partnership with the telehealth company. Nonetheless, it still expects to generate $725 million of revenue this year from weight loss drugs, led by oral weight loss products and personalized doses. Hims & Hers continues to spend heavily on marketing to attract new customers. During the quarter, its marketing spending jumped 50% to nearly $218 million. Marketing expenses took up 40% of revenue in the quarter, though that was down from 46% a year ago, so the company continues to see leverage in this area despite the increased spending. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) surged to $82.2 million from $39.3 million a year ago. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.17, topping the $0.15 analyst consensus as compiled by LSEG. Metric Q1 Results Growth (YOY) Revenue $544.8 million 73% Monthly online revenue per subscriber $74 30% Subscribers 2.44 million 31% Adjusted EBITDA $82.2 million 109% Adjusted EPS $0.17 183% Marketing expense $231 million 77% Marketing as % of revenue 40% (600 basis points) Gross margin 76% (500 basis points) Data source: Hims & Hers Health. YOY = year over year. Looking ahead, Hims & Hers maintained its forecast for 2025 revenue to be between $2.3 billion and $2.4 billion, equal to growth of 56% to 63%. It also kept its adjusted EBITDA guidance of $295 million to $335 million. For Q3, it projected revenue of between $570 million and $590 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $60 million to $70 million. The company is starting to look toward international expansion to bolster growth. It will begin by focusing on Canada next year, while its acquisition of Zava in July will help it expand into Europe. It also anticipates entering the Latin American and Asian markets in the coming years. Hims & Hers also continues to expand into new areas. It will launch hormonal health soon, starting with lab testing. The company believes this will help it reach its targets of $6.5 billion in revenue and $1.3 billion in adjusted EBITDA in 2030. Is the stock a buy? Hims & Hers continues to be a growth engine. Even though there's been some disruption from its spat with Novo Nordisk, it is still seeing strong growth across different health categories. With the company moving into new areas, like hormonal health and longevity, and looking to expand internationally, it has a lot of growth opportunities ahead. Meanwhile, with the majority of its subscribers on personalized treatment plans, it has a pretty sticky user base. From a valuation standpoint, the stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 55 based on the analyst consensus for 2025. But its forward price/earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG) is under 0.6, and stocks with PEG ratios below 1 are usually considered undervalued. Given that it operates a subscription business with high gross margins, you can also look at the stock from a price-to-sales perspective; on that front, it trades at a multiple of 5.5 times 2025 analyst estimates. Overall, I'd say, based on the type of business the company is in, that it's still reasonably priced. However, it's still a volatile stock that carries some risk depending on what happens in the weight loss segment. Still, I really like its international opportunity, and think Hims & Hers Health could have solid long-term upside from here. Should you invest $1,000 in Hims & Hers Health right now?

If You'd Invested $1,000 in Palantir Stock 3 Years Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today
Key Points Palantir's AIP contributed to accelerated revenue growth. Its growth has led to a pricey valuation, making its near-term direction less certain. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) stock has been on a tear since last year's U.S. presidential election. Since the election on Nov. 5, the stock is up by about 250%. While that is a considerable return, it is relatively modest compared to how the stock has performed over the last three years, when the market and Palantir were in the middle of a bear market. Amid the rising popularity of AI and its productivity solution, Palantir's returns since that time are nothing short of eye-popping. Palantir over the last three years If one had bought Palantir on Aug. 8, 2022, a $1,000 investment would be worth about $15,700 today. Three years ago, a dramatic pullback from the highs of the 2021 bull market left Palantir trading below $10 per share, the approximate level where it sold on its first day of trading on Sept. 30, 2020. Additionally, it got off to a slow start as it briefly fell below $6 per share in December 2022. Nonetheless, Palantir began moving higher in 2023, particularly after Open AI's release of an upgraded version of ChatGPT put the spotlight on generative AI. Palantir responded with its own generative AI solution, the artificial intelligence platform (AIP), in April 2023. Customers began reporting massive productivity gains. Over time, the stock's growth accelerated as revenue growth began to rise at a significantly faster rate. Consequently, the stock reached stratospheric highs, with a P/E ratio approaching 600. Although such earnings multiples can be common with growth stocks, its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 130 all but verifies that the market has priced the stock for perfection. That increases the odds of a dramatic fall at the slightest hint of bad news. However, few can deny the success of Palantir's investors over the last three years. Even if its near-term prospects are less clear, Palantir should succeed long term, since its tools have delivered massive productivity gains for its customers.

The Donald Trump Administration Aims to Kickstart a New Social Security Garnishment "Sometime This Summer" -- Will Your Benefit Be Cut?
Key Points Social Security income isn't a luxury for most beneficiaries -- it's an absolute necessity to make ends meet. An estimated 452,000 delinquent federal student loan borrowers who are currently receiving a Social Security check can soon expect a portion of their monthly payout to be garnished. However, a majority of borrowers who are in arrears on their payments may have legal options to completely waive or reduce their repayment liability. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › No government program has played a bigger role in financially supporting Americans than Social Security. In 2023, an estimated 22 million people were pulled above the federal poverty line by their Social Security income, 16.3 million of whom were aged 65 and over, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. If this program didn't exist, the poverty rate for retirees would jump nearly fourfold to an estimated 37.3%. Getting as much as possible out of Social Security isn't a luxury for most beneficiaries -- it's nothing short of a necessity. But for some of the nearly 70 million people who receive a monthly benefit from America's leading social program, their payout is facing a sizable cut. Beginning July 24, Social Security garnishment recommenced for more than an estimated 1,000,000 beneficiaries who've been overpaid. The Donald Trump administration ended the Joe Biden-era overpayment recovery rate of 10% and instituted a garnishment rate on Social Security income of 50% until the overpayment has been satisfied. Unfortunately, another Social Security garnishment is expected to be reinstated by "sometime this summer." The all-important question is, "Will your Social Security benefit be affected?" Delinquent federal student loan garnishment is back on the table In March 2020, during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and the final year of President Trump's first term in the White House, the collection of federal student loan repayments was suspended. For more than five years, this suspension was never lifted, which allowed a sizable percentage of borrowers to fall into some level of delinquency. Based on data from the U.S. Department of Education (DOE), approximately 42.7 million Americans owe the federal government $1.6 trillion in outstanding federal student loans as of April 2025. Roughly 4 million of these borrowers are between 91 days and 180 days late on their monthly payments, and more than 5 million are more than 360 days late on their payments. When Donald Trump took office for his nonconsecutive second term, he made government efficiency a primary focus. This includes collecting on the federal government's outstanding debts, such as delinquent federal student loans. Though we often think of federal student loan borrowers as being in their teens, 20s, and 30s, loans outstanding for seniors have climbed rapidly. The number of borrowers aged 62 and older jumped by 59%, from 1.7 million to 2.7 million between 2017 and 2023, per the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Among these aged borrowers, the CFPB estimates 452,000 are currently delinquent on their federal student loan(s) and receiving a Social Security benefit. Although the DOE announced a pause in the expected restart of garnishments at a 15% monthly rate for these 452,000 delinquent federal student loan borrowers in early June, this pause is only temporary. Per the DOE: "If you receive monthly federal benefit payments, such as Social Security benefit payments, and Railroad and Office of Personnel Management retirement benefits you may have received a letter from the Department of Treasury that listed a date when offsets to your payments was scheduled to begin. Please be aware that the Department of Education is delaying offsets of these monthly benefits for a couple of months and plans to resume sometime this summer." While the DOE and Trump administration haven't provided any specific timeline (beyond "sometime this summer") as to when this garnishment may be kick-started, a 15% garnishment rate should be expected very soon for the retired workers, survivor beneficiaries, and workers with disabilities who are among the estimated 452,000 seniors currently in default on their federal student loan(s). Delinquent federal student loan borrowers may be able to legally avoid or reduce their garnishment If there's a bit of a silver lining to be found when it comes to federal student loan garnishment, it's that beneficiaries must be left with a minimum Social Security payout of $750 per month. If you're a lifetime low earner and among the estimated 452,000 delinquent borrowers, your garnishment rate could be less than 15%. For instance, if you receive $800 per month from Social Security, the most that could be garnished is $50 each payout (leaving you with the mandated minimum of $750), which is considerably less than a 15% rate. Beyond this minimum payout mandate, which isn't a requirement of all forms of Social Security income garnishment, delinquent federal student loan borrowers receiving Social Security benefits have two perfectly legal options at their disposal to waive or reduce their liability. To begin with, individuals with qualifying disabilities may be able to completely waive their federal student loan repayment obligations via a total and permanent disability (TPD) discharge. In addition to submitting the TPD application, you'll need documentation from a medical professional certifying that you're unable to "engage in substantial gainful activity," per the application. The CFPB notes that while the DOE and Social Security Administration have automated TPD eligibility and the federal student loan cancellation process for beneficiaries who become disabled before reaching their full retirement age, responsibility for the TPD application process falls entirely onto aging beneficiaries if they become disabled after reaching their full retirement age. The other perfectly legal option available to Social Security beneficiaries who are in arrears on their federal student loan(s) is to file for a financial hardship with the DOE. Similar to TPD eligibility, everything boils down to documentation. To qualify for a financial hardship exemption, you'll need to prove to the DOE that your documented income, less the 15% garnishment rate, would be lower than your qualified expenses. Using data from the Federal Reserve Board's Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking, the CFPB estimated that 82% of the 452,000 Social Security recipients currently in default would qualify for a financial hardship exemption. However, statistics show that very few seniors apply for this exemption or know it exists. In other words, this is a missed opportunity for delinquent federal student loan borrowers to potentially reduce what they owe. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook If you're like most Americans, you're a few years (or more) behind on your retirement savings. But a handful of little-known could help ensure a boost in your retirement income. One easy trick could pay you as much as $23,760 more... each year! Once you learn how to maximize your Social Security benefits, we think you could retire confidently with the peace of mind we're all after.
