At Goldman Sachs, Healey created the Real Estate Capital Markets and Pension Services groups.

The Bristol, which overlooks the town of Palm Beach, is the first new luxury condo building in West Palm Beach over the past decade. Flagler Investors, led by Al Adelson and Gene Golub, developed the 25-story, 69-unit building, where units range from 3,600 square feet to 14,000 square feet.

Buyers there include beauty mogul Sydell Miller, who closed on a full-floor penthouse for $42.6 million in March; Robert Nitabach, the owner of a New Jersey car dealership; and Eastview Development partner James Harpel.
