Tough to say from such a distance, but, Seeing Coconuts in the background, ( a clue perhaps ) Would look through the Furcraea species, then some of the larger Agave  grown in more tropical areas.

Could perhaps be Doryanthes palmeri

I was thinking a variegated Furcraea Foetida, or maybe an agave.  Agave Angustifolia Marginata looks about the same, but that only grows to about 4 or 5 feet diameter.  I might bet on Agave Sisalana Marginata.  They can easily get up to 8 feet diameter, though mine are struggling with the frost and don't get too large before getting burned back.  That one looks like it is just about to flower.

Furcraea selloana

[MSX]

Thank you, guys! I do like the statement look of this huge plant, the only thing I wish it were just a bit hardier than it actually is! so I think in my climate I'll stick with a Yucca faxoniana (I think this one has the longest leaves of all yuccas) which is dimensionally much smaller though

Thanks!  I hadn't heard of that one, but it looks like it might be at least a few degrees hardier than Furcraea Foetida Marginata.  San Marcos Growers has it as being 25-28F hardy with some damage.  It's also on the web under the old name "Selloa" that was changed in 2016.  I'll have to try one of these!
