alm Beach real‑estate prices are surging, a trend that Mayor‑elect Zohran Mamdani has inadvertently fueled. A former Marvel Entertainment chief, whose residence sits just five minutes from Mar‑a‑Lago, is now listed at $24.95 million—$6 million higher than the $18.95 million it commanded only seven months ago. The ocean‑front townhouse, located at 2 Sloans Curve in the gated Residences at Sloans Curve community built in 1981, offers panoramic sea views from every main room.
The property is owned by Isaac “Ike” Perlmutter and his wife Laura. Perlmutter, a veteran of the 1967 Six‑Day War, acquired Marvel in 1998 and propelled it to global fame with titles such as “Spider‑Man,” “Daredevil,” and “Iron Man.” He is a long‑time Mar‑a‑Lago member, a major donor to President Trump’s 2024 campaign, and served as an outside adviser to the Department of Veterans Affairs during Trump’s first term. The Perlmutter Foundation also funded Trump’s privately‑owned White House ballroom.
Perlmutter and Laura purchased the townhouse for $10 million in April 2023. The 6,300‑square‑foot home boasts five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen with double‑height ceilings, a formal living room illuminated by a skylight, and a custom‑built bar area. A spiral staircase leads to a private suite featuring a dressing area, two spa‑style baths, and a covered terrace overlooking the Atlantic. The outdoor space is designed for entertaining, while a dedicated home office offers built‑in storage.
Listing agent Margit Brandt of Premier Estate Properties notes that Palm Beach’s recent boom mirrors the post‑COVID surge that reshaped the city’s skyline. “The influx of high‑earning New Yorkers to South Florida has accelerated since the mayoral race and will likely continue as families relocate,” she said. The townhouse’s amenities include private beach access, tennis courts, a gym, a yoga studio, and a conference room—all within minutes of Worth Avenue.
Perlmutter first listed the property for $21 million in December 2023, just eight months after his purchase. The current $24.95 million price reflects the market’s rapid appreciation and the home’s premium features.
