Most 1970s beach towers are mid-restoration, mid-assessment, or both. Seascape finished. This page covers what's documented about the building, what underwriting still checks, and how to verify its live financing status before you offer.
Current listings for Seascape units state the building has completed all structural requirements and reserve requirements, with all special assessments paid. On a beach where the standard buyer question is "how much assessment is still coming?", that's the entire story: the expensive decade is behind this building instead of in front of its buyers.
Source: live MLS listings for Seascape units, November 2026. Listing statements are seller/agent representations — the file-level verification below is what a lender relies on.
Seascape is the proof pattern for the whole beach: the buildings that come through milestone inspections and SIRS with the work done and the assessments paid become the financeable ones, and their units stop competing against financing risk. If you're comparing Seascape against a cheaper unit in a mid-restoration tower, price the other building's remaining assessments into the comparison — the "cheaper" unit often isn't.

That status is checkable — FHA on HUD's public condo lookup, VA on VA's own approved-condo list — and it can change as approvals renew or lapse. Don't rely on a listing line; get the status as of this month. The free check below runs all three lists (Fannie Mae CPM, FHA, VA) on your scenario.
No — but the hardest project-review questions are answered. The loan still runs on the building's live project status, its current budget and reserves, the condo questionnaire, and your own file. "Work completed and assessments paid" is the strongest starting position a 1974 beach tower can have.
Three things: the current HOA dues and what they cover, written confirmation of the association's milestone/SIRS status, and whether any new assessment is planned or under discussion. Then verify the financing status with a lender before earnest money hardens.
Verify this building's loan eligibility on your file — free. Sixty seconds now beats a dead contract in week three.
