There are buildings that are “on the beach,” and then there are buildings that feel like they were placed there on purpose. Le Parc sits at the northern end of Park Shore, where your day naturally starts with quiet Gulf light and ends with sunset color you can actually feel from the lanai. It’s one of those rare towers where orientation matters in a wonderful way: the north side enjoys wide-open sightlines without a neighboring tower crowding the view, while the south side delivers beautiful, classic beach and Gulf panoramas. 

Big-Picture Appeal

• Low-density, high-privacy living: just 78 residences, so it feels more boutique than mega-tower. 

• Delivered in 1990 with the kind of proportions buyers still love today, generous rooms and a “real home” feel in the sky. 

• Floor-to-ceiling glass and water views that take in the Gulf, the beach, and Venetian Bay depending on stack and elevation. 

• Full-service lifestyle with 24/7 security, gated entry, and on-site management. 

• Resort-caliber amenities without the “resort chaos,” meaning it stays peaceful and polished. 

What It’s Like To Live Here

The view advantage, north vs south

Le Parc is one of those buildings where you can choose your “visual personality.”

• North-side buyers tend to be the ones who crave openness and layered water views, and love that the sightlines feel less boxed-in.

• South-side buyers lean into that timeless, straight-to-the-Gulf beach view that never gets old, especially at golden hour.

Either way, you get a daily rhythm that feels very Park Shore: morning beach walks, mid-day calm, and evenings that feel like a private show.

Residences and scale

This is not “cute condo living.” Le Parc is known for larger floor plans, with many residences offering substantial square footage and true entertaining spaces. Offering 2,300 to 3,700 square feet on the lower floors, with penthouses around 5,600 square feet. 
It’s also typically four residences per floor, with fewer at the penthouse levels, which adds to the privacy factor. 

Amenities that actually get used

Le Parc’s amenities hit the sweet spot: elevated, well-kept, and genuinely lifestyle-forward. Highlights include a beachfront pool and spa, fitness center, saunas, Har-Tru tennis, social room with catering kitchen, guest suites, and 24-hour security. There’s also a private gated entry and on-site management, which matters more than most buyers realize once they start traveling in and out of town. 

Who Le Parc is Perfect For

• Beach-first buyers who want “elevator-to-sand” simplicity and a true Gulf-front address. 

• Second-home owners who value security, staff presence, and a lock-and-leave setup that feels cared for. 

• Entertainers who want big-view living and floor plans that do not feel compromised. 

• Buyers who dislike crowded buildings and prefer a quieter, more curated community (78 residences is a real differentiator). 

Smart Buyer Notes

• Orientation is everything here. In Le Parc, the “right” residence is the one that matches how you live: morning person vs sunset chaser, privacy seeker vs beach-view purist.

• Confirm the rules that affect your lifestyle, especially leasing (minimum terms, frequency) and pets, before you fall in love with a view. With a 90-day minimum and one lease per year rule, and pets fall under a small-dog or two-cat style policy. 

• Ask for the building financials and reserve picture, plus any planned projects. In beachfront towers, being proactive here protects your lifestyle and your long-term value.

• Renovation strategy matters: many buyers modernize interiors over time, and Le Parc’s larger footprints can reward thoughtful, design-led updates.
