The project is fully funded by Mattamy Homes as part of a required art contribution to the city. WPTV’s Cassandra Garcia dug through city records back in June 2024 that show Port St. Lucie approved the heart sculpture in 2022. Back then, Mattamy Homes estimated the cost of the artwork at $4.5 million.
The 73-foot heart-shaped sculpture sits on a 30-foot-diameter pedestal at the intersection of Discovery Way and Village Parkway, creating an instant landmark for the city.
It is the world's tallest heart sculpture.
