SouthShore Builders has completed multiple custom home projects in Ocean Ridge, FL, including waterfront builds at 18 and 20 E Ocean Avenue requiring coastal construction expertise.
Ocean Ridge is one of Palm Beach County's smallest and most exclusive municipalities — a narrow barrier island community of roughly 900 homes situated between Boynton Beach and Briny Breezes. The town has no commercial development. Its residential lots front either the ocean or the Intracoastal, and the building stock ranges from mid-century CBS homes ripe for renovation to significant new construction estates. SouthShore Builders has completed multiple projects in Ocean Ridge and understands both the character of the community and the specific construction requirements the coastal location demands.
Our Ocean Ridge portfolio includes projects on E Ocean Avenue — including 18 E Ocean Avenue and a separate coastal home on the same corridor — where we managed construction in a high-velocity wind zone with strict Florida Building Code requirements for impact resistance, roofing systems, and structural uplift. Oceanfront lots in Ocean Ridge sit in FEMA flood zones that require finished floor elevations well above grade, which affects everything from foundation design to landscape planning and driveway grades.
Ocean Ridge operates its own building department and has a town staff that takes an active interest in construction quality and neighbor impact. Working respectfully within that environment — managing noise, site cleanliness, and traffic — is part of how SouthShore operates in small-town coastal communities. Our subcontractors are experienced with the access constraints and the precision that oceanfront construction requires.
