The Building
The 2500 Building is a 60-residence oceanfront condominium of three five-story buildings on eight acres of South Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach, completed in 1979. Two things define it. The first is its grounds and scale, eight oceanfront acres and some of the largest floor plans on its stretch of the island. The second is its no-rental policy, which keeps the building owner-occupied and suits buyers who value a settled community over rental flexibility.

The market data above reads live from the MLS and shows current pricing. Four-bedroom residences sell above three-bedroom units. Within each type, price varies with floor, exposure and renovation quality. A deeded cabana adds a premium. With 60 residences and no rental turnover, the building sees few sales in a year, and some sell privately. Direct ocean exposure carries the highest premium within each unit type.
Monthly fees are scaled by unit size. The fee covers cable, master building insurance, exterior maintenance, pest control, sewer, trash, water, pool service, the 24-hour doorman, gatehouse security, on-site building management, and reserve fund contributions.
For a building constructed in 1979, the reserve fund balance and recent contribution trajectory are worth reviewing closely. Florida’s updated reserve requirements apply to a building of this age and coastal proximity, and buyers should request the most recent reserve study as part of diligence.
No. The association prohibits rentals of any kind. All residents are owners, either full-time or seasonal. This restriction has been maintained for decades and effectively eliminates transient occupancy.
For buyers who value a stable, consistent resident base, the no-rental policy is a material differentiator from most competing Palm Beach oceanfront buildings, where short-term or seasonal rental activity is common.
The closest comparisons are Sloan’s Curve, The Claridge, 3550 South Ocean, and Two North Breakers Row. Sloan’s Curve sits immediately north at 2000 and 2100 South Ocean. It is also a multi-building campus of four buildings and 192 residences, with floor plans of 2,300 to 3,500 SF on a smaller and denser site. The Claridge is an older building with smaller units and a lower price point. Completed in 2019, 3550 South Ocean offers newer construction with modern finishes on a fraction of the acreage. Two North Breakers Row (1986) sits on The Breakers property with access to the resort, and sells at a higher price per square foot. The 2500 Building’s advantage is the combination of eight acres, floor plans up to 4,000 SF, and three separate low-rise buildings. The trade-off is a 1979 construction date, which makes renovation cost a real variable in the total cost of a purchase.
Pets are permitted with restrictions enforced by the association. Specific rules regarding permitted pet types, size limits, and any associated requirements should be confirmed with building management or through your agent prior to making an offer.
The pet policy is set by board resolution rather than the declarations, which means it can be amended by vote. Buyers with specific requirements should confirm current restrictions are acceptable before entering contract, as the rules in place at the time of purchase govern.
A building completed in 1979 on the oceanfront is squarely within the scope of Florida’s post-Surfside structural inspection and reserve funding mandates. The 2500 Building has already passed the age threshold that triggers milestone inspections.
Buyers should review the most recent structural integrity reserve study (SIRS), the current reserve fund balance, the board’s funding plan for any identified repairs, and whether any special assessments have been levied or are anticipated. These documents are the single most important piece of due diligence for a building of this vintage.
Each residence includes two dedicated covered garage parking spaces within the building complex.
For owners who require additional vehicle storage, it is worth confirming with the building manager whether guest or overflow parking accommodates larger vehicles or whether off-site arrangements are necessary.
The poolside cabanas are individually deeded to specific residences and transfer with the unit upon sale. Not every residence includes a cabana; they are a feature of select units and carry a measurable price premium.
For buyers who prioritize private pool-deck space adjacent to the pool and beach, a cabana-equipped unit narrows the available inventory considerably within an already limited building. We can identify which current and upcoming listings include a deeded cabana.
Conditions range widely. Some residences have been fully renovated with contemporary kitchens, marble baths, updated electrical and plumbing, and hurricane-rated windows throughout. Others are largely original. The building’s concrete-and-steel structure and generous ceiling heights accommodate renovation well.
A full renovation is a major cost that varies with scope and finish level. On a 3,000 SF unit it can add materially to the total purchase cost, so budget for it before you compare buildings. Buyers should factor total renovation cost, construction timeline, and any board-imposed renovation windows into their budget from the outset.
Yes. The association requires board approval for all purchases. The process typically includes a formal application, financial documentation, and personal references. Approval is not guaranteed, and the process can take several weeks.
Buyers should build this timeline into their contract contingencies. The level of scrutiny is consistent with what buyers encounter at comparable owner-occupied Palm Beach buildings with strict no-rental policies.
Unit combinations have been completed at the 2500 Building, creating floor plans exceeding 4,000 square feet. The process requires board approval, a structural engineering review, and re-platting with the county, all of which add cost and timeline.
Before pursuing a combination, buyers should compare the total cost of acquiring two adjacent units plus construction against purchasing one of the building’s existing four-bedroom residences, which already approach 4,000 SF and may include a cabana.
The association’s master policy covers the building structure, common areas, and shared mechanical systems; its cost is embedded in the HOA fee. Individual owners carry their own HO-6 policy covering interior improvements, personal property, and personal liability.
Given the building’s 1979 construction date, direct coastal exposure, and the current state of Florida’s property insurance market, HO-6 premiums can be a meaningful carrying cost, particularly for units with extensive renovations that increase the replacement value of interior finishes. Buyers should obtain HO-6 quotes early in diligence and factor the premium into their annual carrying cost analysis alongside the HOA fee and property taxes.
