Computed across the 8 sales listed below — the closest matches to this building by size and vintage. Transfers under $100,000, multi-parcel portfolio deals that cannot be allocated, and land-dominant parcels are excluded.

Reading this against the corridor

The county assesses this building at $80/SF. Recorded sales of retail properties in Downtown / Palm Beach Lakes since 2021 have a median of $593/SF, across a range of $378/SF to $1,285/SF.

Across those 8 recorded sales, the median sale price came in at 1.50× the county assessed value. Assessed values are set for taxation and are reset on their own schedule, so they routinely sit apart from transaction prices — in either direction.

By footprint it sits in roughly the 35th percentile of retail properties that have traded in this corridor — 13 of the 20 recorded sales were of larger buildings.

The assessment works out 87% below the median price per square foot of the comparable sales shown below. That is an arithmetic comparison of a tax figure against transaction prices, not a statement about what this building would sell for.

What this means for this building depends on what no public record contains — the leases, the condition, the rent roll.
