Can I tour the actual residence before buying?
At completed buildings, often yes — that is the advantage. Confirm which specific residences are available and tour those, not just a model or a comparable line.
WPB New Construction
The completed new condos in West Palm Beach — Alba, La Clara, Forté on Flagler — and how to verify specific residence availability.
Three projects offer a delivery date of today: Alba Palm Beach (55 residences, completed, project sponsor offering immediate occupancy, from just under $3M guidance), La Clara (opened to residents in 2023), and Forté on Flagler (recently completed). Alba is the active project sponsor sale; La Clara and Forté trade on resale — confirm the specific residence, fees, reserves, and condition before comparing.
Move-in-ready removes construction timing risk but adds a different checklist: specific residence availability, resale versus project sponsor inventory, association reserves and fees, building condition, and what the HOA documents actually say. Use the completed set as both a purchase lane and a reality check for finishes and fees against pre-construction promises elsewhere.

No — they are completed comps that trade on resale. Pricing, availability, and terms come from the resale market and HOA documents, not a project sponsor price list.
Completed buildings have operating history: ask for actual budgets, reserve studies, insurance costs, and any pending special assessments instead of project sponsor estimates.
