A mid-century modern gem on Fort Lauderdale's oceanfront
Sea Tower, an 11-story condominium complex completed in 1960, stands as a distinctive presence in the Lauderdale Beach neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale. Designed by renowned architect Igor Polevitzky, this 81-unit building is recognized for its unique boomerang shape, offering residents expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding parkland. Situated east of A1A in a quiet enclave of beachfront homes, Sea Tower provides a blend of mid-century charm and modern coastal living.
Diverse layouts with ocean breezes and natural light
Sea Tower offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy one-bedrooms to spacious five-bedroom units.

These units often feature updated finishes such as porcelain tile floors and modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances.
Two-bedroom units, ranging from 780 to 1,263 square feet, are available from $600,000 to $649,000.

These outdoor spaces serve as additional living areas, perfect for dining, relaxing, or enjoying the ocean breezes. Many units have been thoughtfully renovated with impact windows and doors, open-concept layouts, and modern lighting fixtures. The building's unique design ensures that most units capture both sunrise and sunset views, with streams of natural light throughout the day.
Monthly HOA fees range from $800 to $1,400, covering a comprehensive list of services including management, common area maintenance, cable TV, hot water, insurance, laundry facilities, legal and accounting services, ground maintenance, structural maintenance, parking, pest control, pool upkeep, and water.
Beachside comfort with mid-century flair
Sea Tower offers a selection of amenities that cater to a relaxed, beachside lifestyle. The heated pool provides year-round enjoyment, perfect for morning laps or afternoon relaxation. A fitness center is available for residents looking to maintain their exercise routines without leaving the building.

Practical amenities such as laundry facilities and additional storage units on each floor add to the ease of living at Sea Tower.
One of the most appealing aspects of Sea Tower is its direct access to the beach. Residents can easily walk from their units to the sandy shores, making impromptu beach days a regular part of life. The building's waterfront location also means that many units enjoy unobstructed ocean views, a prized feature in coastal living.
A serene beachfront enclave with urban conveniences

Just a short walk away, Earl Lifshey Ocean Park provides additional beach access and outdoor showers.
For daily necessities, a Winn-Dixie supermarket is conveniently located within a 20-minute walk. The neighborhood is also eagerly anticipating the completion of a new boutique Publix Market at 30th Street and A1A, which will add to the area's walkable amenities.
Dining options in the vicinity cater to various tastes. The Bohemian Latin Grill, just a 10-minute walk away, offers flavorful cuisine in a casual setting.
