I've been a tenant here for over 6 years and I love it! The Comeau Building is architecturally beautiful and historically significant. The lobby is immediately impressive upon entry and the entire building is maintained constantly. It is kept looking impressive, professional and very clean! Thank you to the maintenance and cleaning staff and thank you Brooke at the property management office for always being so responsive and easy to work with!

Professional and quality people, great spaces, reasonable rates and properties that are located in the heart of West Palm. We are thrilled we made the decision to rent space from them. Could not be happier in our Downtown space.

Our firm, PATHOS, moved into the first floor of the Comeau building a few months ago and we cant thank the entire David Associates team enough for their professionalism and can do approach. From start to finish, their commitment to our vision went above and beyond. We had considered several downtown options, but once we met with Brooke and Ted, we knew we had found our new home.

We have been tenants in the Comeau Building for over 2 years. David Associates did an amazing job building out our space. They made it so nice that random people getting off the elevator often stop in to comment on it. The care David Associates puts into their buildings and taking care of their tenants is incredible. I would have to say they have some of the nicest buildings in the area. Their team is always available to help if there is even an issue.

We came to the David Associates back in December 2015 with a vision for an office on the 14th floor of the Harvey building. Without hesitation, they went above and beyond to accomplish the office of our dreams. Their hard work and dedication in making us happy throughout the extensive build out really showed. Thank you to the whole staff, especially Brooke and Ted! Aside from the build out, we have enjoyed being tenets here. Liz is always cheerful, greeting us throughout the day and whenever we have any issues, we can count on Niko to come and assist us. Perfect downtown location, great neighbors
