About Fortress
For over four decades, Fortress has been the quiet force behind the protection of Palm Beach’s most exceptional collections. Established in 1983 and family-owned ever since, Fortress was the first purpose-built fine art storage provider in South Florida. Today, it remains the trusted partner for collectors, designers, and institutions who demand the highest levels of security, discretion, and museum-quality care for their art and luxury possessions.
At the heart of Fortress’s reputation is a philosophy grounded in preservation, privacy, and professionalism. With purpose-built facilities in Miami and Boston, Fortress offers more than storage; it delivers peace of mind to Palm Beach’s most discerning collectors.
Museum-Quality Storage®
When it comes to irreplaceable art and luxury objects, compromise is not an option. Fortress’s private storage vaults—ranging from 6 to over 4,000 square feet—are designed for total privacy and security. Each vault is climate-controlled and digitally monitored to strict preservation standards, ensuring that paintings, sculptures, and heirlooms remain safeguarded against the elements. Facilities are built stand-alone and above ground, hurricane-code compliant, and equipped with UL-certified alarm systems, 24/7 monitoring, CCTV, and emergency backup systems.
Fortress continues to hold the very highest ratings from the fine art insurance industry and is continually vetted, offering clients assurance that their collections are cared for at the most exacting level of professional standards.
Beyond state-of-the-art facilities, Fortress is defined by its people. Its long-tenured, background-checked handling specialists bring decades of combined experience to every project. From professional installation of artwork to overseeing the logistics of an entire collection, the Fortress team operates with precision and discretion.
Clients also benefit from a private viewing gallery for appraisals, photography, and private sales, along with access to an extensive network of conservation, restoration, and appraisal professionals. For collectors seeking more than storage, Fortress provides a complete suite of fine art services.
The Standard in Hurricane Preparedness
In South Florida, storm preparedness is essential. Fortress’s Hurricane Preparedness Program has become the industry standard, recognized by leading insurance companies for its proactive approach. Each season, Fortress offers packing, retrieval, and secure storage of collections during hurricane season as well as professional post-storm recovery support. For Palm Beach collectors, this program is not just a service—it is a prerequisite.
Specializing in Moments of Transition
Fortress has also become an indispensable partner for interior designers and architects in Palm Beach. Whether managing a seasonal residence, a large-scale renovation, or a new home, Fortress supports projects from start to finish. Services include receiving and inspecting furnishings, creating photographic inventories, and securely storing design elements until a project is ready for installation. With white-glove delivery and meticulous setup, designers trust Fortress to execute their vision seamlessly.
Recognizing the unique lifestyle of Palm Beach residents, Fortress provides specialized moving services that go far beyond traditional relocation. Using climate-controlled, air-ride vehicles and archival packing methods, Fortress ensures that fine art, antiques, collectibles, and luxury possessions are transported safely—whether across town, across the country, or internationally. For seasonal residents, Fortress offers tailored solutions to support transitions between homes, including temporary storage, delivery, and reinstallation services timed to each client’s schedule. Fortress also supports estates, offering discreet and comprehensive services for managing, relocating, or consolidating collections with the utmost care.
Since opening its doors in Miami in 1983, Fortress has stood for discretion, reliability, and excellence. For Palm Beach collectors, that legacy is more relevant than ever. Whether safeguarding a world-class art collection, managing a design project, or preparing for hurricane season, Fortress delivers unmatched expertise and security.
