Miami vs Marbella: What $5M Buys in 2026
Two markets, one budget: an entry ticket to a branded tower on the bay, or a whole villa with land and change left over
Quiet Oceanfront Living, Elevated by Design.
123 Ocean is a boutique oceanfront collection of just 27 residences, positioned directly on the sand in Palm Beach Shores.
Designed by Arquitectonica and developed by Lionbright, the collection brings together low-density living, direct beachfront access, and architectural clarity—a format increasingly rare along South Florida’s coastline.
Residences range from one to three bedrooms, defined by expansive terraces, private elevator entries, and seamless transitions between interior and oceanfront living.
Rather than scale, the distinction lies in intention: a quiet, design-led alternative to high-rise beachfront towers, offering a more controlled and private residential experience.
This is positioned for clients seeking coastal ownership with long-term relevance, within a segment where boutique oceanfront supply remains structurally limited.
Scarcity Metric:
Only 27 residences within a direct oceanfront building—well below typical South Florida density benchmarks.
Life at 123 Ocean is defined by rhythm and restraint.
Mornings begin with unobstructed Atlantic light, followed by time on expansive terraces where indoor and outdoor living merge seamlessly. Afternoons unfold quietly, framed by ocean views and the natural cadence of the shoreline.
Open-plan interiors extend outward, creating continuity between living spaces and the sea. Primary suites are positioned as private retreats—calm, light-filled, and intentionally understated.
Evenings are designed for privacy, whether through quiet reflection or intimate hosting.
This is not Miami beachfront energy.
It is a more measured form of coastal living—private, composed, and deliberate.
Positioning Insight:
A coastal residence that aligns more closely with private beachfront estates than vertical condominium living, within a constrained supply environment.
123 Ocean operates within a segment defined by structural scarcity:

Why buyers choose this location:
Proximity:
The positioning allows global access while preserving a residential, non-touristic feel.
123 Ocean is a true boutique oceanfront building with only 27 residences, compared to typical high-rise developments with 100+ units. It offers direct beach access, private elevator entries, and low-density living, creating a level of privacy rarely available in South Florida.
Residences currently range from approximately: $1.7M for entry-level units; Up to $6M+ for larger oceanfront residences. Pricing varies based on floor, view, and layout.
Yes—but with variation: Select units offer direct oceanfront views; Others feature north ocean or bay views. All residences benefit from proximity to the water, but premium pricing applies to direct ocean exposure.
123 Ocean is best positioned as: A second home / lifestyle asset; A long-term capital preservation play. Its value is driven by scarcity (only 27 units + limited oceanfront land) rather than short-term rental yield.
Palm Beach Shores offers: It’s increasingly chosen by buyers who want privacy, access, and long-term stability in South Florida. Low-density beachfront living. Close proximity to Palm Beach Island. Less congestion than Miami Beach.
Yes. The entire transaction can be completed remotely. Contracts can be signed electronically or via international courier. Funds can be transferred from abroad. A U.S.-based attorney or representative can act on your behalf. Many international buyers secure units at the pre-construction stage without visiting in person.
As an international owner, you should plan for: Property taxes: ~1.8%–2.2% annually (Palm Beach County range); HOA fees: covering amenities, security, maintenance, and operations; Insurance: especially important for oceanfront properties; Optional property management if you are not residing full-time. These costs are predictable and aligned with other luxury oceanfront properties in South Florida.
