A beachfront property is characterized by a building constructed directly on the oceanfront lot, with no street or block between the building and the beach. This typology represents the most sought-after product in the coastal real estate market. It caters both to investors focused on vacation rentals (short-term rentals) and buyers seeking a high-end property for personal use, traditionally remaining the most liquid asset upon resale. In return, it commands the highest price per square meter in the city.
