Work has begun on an oceanfront four-story home in Boca Raton east of State Road A1A.
Delray Beach-based Azure Development LLC, which owns the .42-acre property at 2600 N. Ocean Blvd., applied for a building permit on April 30 after the Boca Raton City Council in October 2024 granted a variance to build a home on the sand east of the city’s Coastal Construction Control Line.
The application values what will be a 6,931-square-foot structure, across A1A from the Blue Water Townhouses, at almost $3.2 million.
The city’s Development Services Department issued the permit on Dec. 4 and collected fees of $69,122.
To get the permit, Azure had to meet 17 conditions, including that the building’s windows transmit no more than 31% of any interior lighting onto the beach, which is nesting habitat for protected sea turtles.
Azure first sought permission to build on the dune in February 2019 but was rejected by the City Council. The property appraiser’s office values the vacant land at almost $3.4 million.
