A Restaurant is Proposed for the Old Crab Pot Site

A Tiki Bar was Originally on this Lot

The vacant lot at the south corner of Marina Grande was previously home to the Crab Pot restaurant and it sold during the 2005 real estate boom for $3.076M. The new owner tore the landmark restaurant down because they were planning to build a 16 story residential tower. Unfortunately, the market crashed and the lot has been sitting vacant ever since. The vacant parcel sold again in 2015 for $575,000 and the latest proposal is...another restaurant!

If Marina Grande residents and the new owner can work together on the design, this could turn out to be a phenomenal amenity for residents. Imagine a mini Sailfish Marina (with boat docks) that you can walk to for dinner.

I decided to survey realtors who have listed / sold in Marina Grande for their opinion on a restaurant / tiki bar versus building a high rise condo (would block ocean views from the pool deck).
SURVEY RESULTS: 75% prefer to see a restaurant / tiki bar and over 80% would take a prospective client there for lunch.

All of the buyers that purchased my listings in 2018 are looking forward to a tiki bar.

Waterfront Homes: Premium Prices for Priceless Views

Excerpt from Palm Beach Post Story 12/9/14 Click Here to View Full Story

Units are priced from the $300's to $700K

Kevin Dickenson, an agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, said 95 percent of his clients want to be on the water, and agreed there is not much in the way of newly-built inventory. He said his buyers are often interested in Palm Beach, but that many of the condos on the island are decades old and have “dated designs.”

The number of Palm Beach County waterfront parcels has increased just 8 percent since 2000, while non-waterfront parcels have grown by 17 percent, according to the property appraiser.

Still, Dickenson said there is newish inventory that can be found at reasonable prices.

Dickenson represents an investor who bought multiple units at the bottom of the market in the colorful Marina Grande condominium on the Intracoastal in Riviera Beach. Built in 2007, the 349-unit development suffered with the real estate downturn, losing buyers who didn’t mind walking away from their contracts when the market crashed.

He said units can be purchased now at the Marina Grande for about $200 per square foot, $50 to $100 less than at the peak.

“That is a bargain for a building built during the boom,” Dickenson said. “My investor is starting to sell and he’ll triple his money on some units and double it on others.”
