About The Building
Tiara is a 43-story, 320-unit oceanfront tower at 3000 North Ocean Drive on Singer Island. Originally completed in 1977, it is the tallest building on the island. The tower sits on approximately 400 feet of direct Atlantic beachfront on Singer Island’s southern stretch, with views east to the ocean and west across the Intracoastal Waterway to the Palm Beach County mainland.
Following significant damage during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, the building underwent a renovation reported to exceed $150 million in scope. The work was substantial: new hurricane-impact windows and sliding doors throughout, replacement of electrical and plumbing systems, redesigned common areas and lobbies, and reconstruction of individual residences. The result is a building whose interior infrastructure dates to approximately 2006, not 1977. Residences range from 1,058 to over 2,100 square feet across one, two, and three bedroom configurations. Finishes in individual units vary considerably; many owners have completed their own renovations since the building-wide reconstruction, while other units remain closer to the 2006 baseline.
The defining amenity is the Marquis Restaurant and Lounge on the 43rd floor, a resident-only dining room with panoramic views. A second venue, the Gazebo Restaurant, serves breakfast and lunch poolside, and room service is available from both. On-property dining at this level is uncommon for Singer Island condominiums and is a principal distinction between Tiara and its competitive set. Other facilities include separate men’s and women’s fitness centers with spa services, dry and steam saunas, a heated oceanfront pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a guest suite for visiting family, and 24-hour front desk and valet service.
Within Singer Island’s oceanfront market, Tiara competes with the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Oasis, and Ocean’s Edge. The Ritz-Carlton carries a branded hotel operation and higher price per square foot. Oasis and Ocean’s Edge are newer construction with contemporary finishes. Tiara’s advantages are its scale (more frequent inventory turnover), its resident dining program, and a lower entry point per square foot. The trade-off is a 1977 structural shell and the variability of individual unit condition across 320 residences. Buyers should evaluate specific units rather than the building in general.
Tiara is a no-pet building. HOA fees range from approximately $1,200 to $2,800 per month depending on unit size. The fee is notably inclusive, covering building insurance, both restaurant operations, 24-hour staffing, all amenity access, and building maintenance. Prospective buyers should request the most recent reserve study and any pending or recent special assessments, particularly given the building’s coastal exposure and the age of the post-renovation systems, now approaching 20 years.

Location
Tiara sits on the southern portion of Singer Island, a barrier island in the Town of Riviera Beach. Ocean Mall’s shops and restaurants are within walking distance. John D. MacArthur Beach State Park, a 438-acre coastal preserve, is approximately eight minutes north.
The Blue Heron Bridge connects Singer Island to the mainland. Downtown West Palm Beach, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, and Rosemary Square are approximately 12 to 15 minutes by car. Palm Beach Gardens and PGA Boulevard’s dining and retail corridor are roughly 18 minutes north. Palm Beach International Airport is approximately 18 minutes.
Common Questions
Monthly fees range from approximately $1,200 to $2,800 depending on unit size. The fee bundle at Tiara is broader than at most competing buildings: it covers building insurance (not individual unit contents), both the Marquis and Gazebo restaurant operations, 24-hour front desk and valet, all amenity access, water, cable, and building maintenance.
A direct fee comparison with Oasis or Ocean’s Edge will make Tiara appear more expensive on paper, but those buildings do not include on-site dining or the same staffing depth in their assessments. The meaningful comparison is total monthly carrying cost, not the HOA line item alone. We can prepare a side-by-side carrying cost analysis for any unit you are evaluating.
Tiara generally trades at a lower price per square foot than Oasis, Ocean’s Edge, or the Ritz-Carlton Residences. That discount reflects the age of the structural shell (1977), the variability in individual unit finishes, and the absence of a hotel brand.
The gap narrows considerably for high-floor, fully renovated Tiara units, which can approach or overlap the entry pricing at newer buildings. At that point, the decision becomes less about value and more about whether the buyer prefers Tiara’s dining program and established community or the contemporary architecture and newer systems at Oasis or Ocean’s Edge. We track closed sales across all four buildings and can show you exactly where the pricing overlaps and diverges.
The two buildings serve different buyer profiles. The Ritz-Carlton Residences is a branded hotel-condominium with Ritz-Carlton management, a hotel rental program that generates income when owners are away, and the service infrastructure of a luxury hotel. Tiara is a traditional condominium association with no hotel component, but offers something the Ritz-Carlton does not: a resident-only 43rd-floor restaurant and a second poolside dining venue, both funded through the HOA.
Tiara’s entry point per square foot is lower, and with 320 units versus the Ritz-Carlton’s roughly 250 hotel-condo keys, inventory turns over more frequently. The core trade-off is branded service and rental income potential versus lower carrying cost, a more owner-occupied community, and an on-site dining program that most residents use regularly.
Three areas to diligence before making an offer. First, building insurance: as a 43-story oceanfront tower, Tiara’s windstorm and flood premiums are a significant share of the HOA budget, and Florida’s coastal insurance market has repriced materially since 2022. Request the current master policy summary, including deductible structure.
Second, reserves: Florida’s post-Surfside legislation (SB 4-D) requires buildings over three stories and 30 years old to complete milestone structural inspections and maintain fully funded reserves. Tiara, built in 1977, falls squarely within this mandate. Ask for the most recent Structural Integrity Reserve Study and confirm whether the building has completed its milestone inspection.
Third, special assessments: request a five-year history. The age of the post-renovation systems (approaching 20 years) means capital expenditures for mechanical, electrical, or plumbing work may be on the horizon. These are standard diligence items for any South Florida coastal condominium, but they carry particular weight in a building of this age and height.
Unit condition is the single most important variable when evaluating a specific Tiara residence. The building-wide renovation (post-2005) brought every unit to a common baseline: new windows, new plumbing, new electrical, reconstructed interiors. In the roughly 20 years since, some owners have invested significantly in upgrades, installing custom kitchens, designer bathrooms, and premium flooring. Others have not.
The result is that two units with the same layout on the same floor can trade at materially different prices. A renovated two-bedroom on a high floor and an un-updated two-bedroom on a mid-floor are effectively different products despite sharing the same building address. We photograph and evaluate the interior condition of every Tiara unit we tour, and we can advise on whether a specific asking price reflects the unit’s current state or leaves room for negotiation.
Direct east-facing units with unobstructed Atlantic views command the highest per-square-foot prices, with premiums increasing materially above roughly the 25th floor as sightlines extend and neighboring rooftops drop below the line of sight. West-facing units offer Intracoastal and sunset views at a lower price point, which appeals to buyers who prioritize value over direct ocean frontage. Corner units with wrap-around exposures trade at a premium to in-line units on the same floor.
The practical question for most buyers is whether the premium for a top-ten-floor unit justifies the incremental cost versus a mid-building unit with similar renovation quality. In many cases, a fully renovated unit on the 18th floor will outperform an un-updated unit on the 35th floor in both livability and resale appeal. We can walk you through recent closed comparables floor by floor to help frame that decision.
No. Tiara enforces a building-wide no-pet policy with no individual exceptions. This is a firm constraint that eliminates the building from consideration for many buyers and is worth confirming early in the search process.
Among Singer Island’s oceanfront buildings, the Ritz-Carlton Residences and Oasis both permit pets with size and breed restrictions. If pet accommodation is a requirement, we can redirect the search to buildings where the policy allows it.
The Marquis Restaurant and Lounge occupies the 43rd floor and serves dinner with panoramic views in both directions. The Gazebo Restaurant is poolside and serves breakfast and lunch. Room service is available from both venues. All dining is restricted to residents and their guests.
The restaurant operation is funded through the HOA budget, so every owner contributes to it through monthly fees whether or not they dine regularly. For owners who use the restaurants frequently, particularly seasonal residents who do not want to maintain a full kitchen routine, this is a significant quality-of-life amenity. No other Singer Island condominium offers a comparable resident dining program; it is one of the principal reasons buyers choose Tiara over newer buildings with more contemporary finishes.
Tiara has rental restrictions governed by the condominium association, including a minimum lease term, limits on the number of lease periods per year, and a tenant approval process. These policies can change by board vote, so prospective buyers should confirm the current rules directly from the association’s governing documents before closing.
For buyers who want a structured rental income path, the Ritz-Carlton Residences offers a hotel rental program purpose-built for that purpose. At Tiara, any rental arrangement is owner-managed and subject to association rules. We can provide the most recent governing documents as part of the due diligence process and help you model projected carrying costs with and without seasonal rental income.
Tiara is well suited to seasonal use, and a meaningful portion of the ownership base occupies their units primarily from November through April. The building’s full-service staffing, valet, and dining amenities reduce the logistical overhead of arriving and departing seasonally. The guest suite is a practical feature for seasonal owners hosting visitors without dedicating a bedroom.
The main consideration is the year-round HOA obligation, which runs $1,200 to $2,800 per month regardless of occupancy. Buyers who plan to be absent for extended periods should weigh that carrying cost against the rental policy constraints and realistic seasonal rental demand on Singer Island.
Tiara’s 320 units support a larger and more socially active resident community than Singer Island’s smaller buildings. The ownership base skews toward retirees and seasonal residents, many of whom have owned in the building for years and participate in the social programming and dining culture that the restaurants facilitate. This is a building where residents know each other, which appeals to buyers who value community but may not suit buyers who prefer anonymity.
The demographic composition also has practical implications for building governance. A predominantly retired ownership base tends to be conservative on special assessments and capital expenditures, which can be either a benefit (lower near-term costs) or a concern (deferred maintenance) depending on the building’s reserve position. This is another reason to review the reserve study carefully before making an offer.
Following damage during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, Tiara underwent a renovation reported to exceed $150 million. The work replaced all windows and sliding doors with hurricane-impact glass, installed new electrical and plumbing systems, rebuilt hallways, lobbies, and common areas, and reconstructed individual unit interiors. The practical result is a building whose structural shell dates to 1977 but whose interior systems date to approximately 2006.
Those systems are now approaching 20 years of service life, which means some major building components may be nearing the point where they require significant reinvestment. Buyers should not view the renovation as resetting the clock to zero; they should view it as establishing a second baseline whose own age now matters. The reserve study and any recent engineering reports will indicate where the building stands on this timeline.
Tiara's 320 units vary significantly in floor level, exposure, and renovation quality. We can walk you through what is currently available and what may be coming to market. Schedule a consultation.
