Some of what a residence comes with sits outside its walls. At Alba Palm Beach, here is how those spaces are held, and why the declaration matters more than the floor plan.
This page is a framework. Whether the building suits you is a separate conversation. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier for the current position on any building we cover.
A Florida condominium like Alba Palm Beach splits the building three ways: the residence, which is yours; the common elements, which all owners share; and between them the limited common elements, common property reserved for one residence or a few. Terraces, storage rooms, private elevator landings, cabanas and parking spaces often fall here. The declaration decides which is which, and that decides who repairs and insures each space.

Some are fixed in the declaration to a named residence. Others are assigned by the developer during sales, by recorded instrument and often for an added price. Some declarations let owners trade an assigned space with notice to the association; others forbid it. Ask for the exhibit at Alba Palm Beach that lists your assignment. A storage room promised in an email is not assigned until the paper says so.
Alba Palm Beach: 55 residences: two-, three- and four-bedroom condominiums plus two- and three-storey townhomes, 1,778 to more than 4,500 square feet; limited residences per floor, private elevators and vestibules, private gated entry.
A storage room at Alba Palm Beach comes with rules: what may be kept, with flammables usually barred; access hours; who holds a key; whether it is cooled. Contents are the owner’s to insure. Ask whether the room is caged or walled, above the flood line, and charged in the budget.
Alba Palm Beach: Sunrise pool overlooking the Intracoastal plus a sunset pool; luxury spa with sauna, steam and treatment room; Technogym fitness with yoga and Pilates; screening room; private dining room with climate-controlled wine storage and catering kitchen; owners’ great room, library and lounge; bocce court and lawn chess; pet spa; private dock with boat-slip access for owners; EV-ready covered garage; summer kitchens on all terraces.
Many declarations charge the upkeep of a limited common element to the owner who uses it. Enclosing a terrace or adding heavy planters or a hot tub needs the board’s consent and often an engineer’s letter. At resale an assigned space normally passes with the residence; a separately sold one may not. The desk asks which spaces come with a residence at Alba Palm Beach, on which exhibit, and whether any can be sold apart from it.
If it is not in the exhibit, it is not yours. It is a hope drawn on a plan.

We hold no listings and we are not the developer. Contact the desk at Miami Dossier and we will tell you what applies to your situation, what does not, and where we would not proceed. On this topic that means the document before the opinion. Where a question is legal, tax or structuring, we introduce you to advisers who handle that properly rather than answering it ourselves.
