P.H. The Ocean Club (TOC): Building Market Snapshot

What the Registry Holds on The Ocean Club

P.H. The Ocean Club (TOC) is one of the most actively traded buildings in our Punta Pacifica dataset. Every figure below comes from transactions recorded in Panama’s Registro Público — actual registered sale values, not listing prices. All amounts are in Panamanian Balboas (B/.), which trade 1:1 with the US Dollar.

• 1,059 verified transactions recorded since 2011, 547 of them in the last three years
• Unit sizes range from approximately 43 m² to 956 m², with most recorded sales between 49 m² and 168 m²
• Most recorded sale prices fall between roughly B/.75,000 and B/.519,000, around a midpoint near B/.215,000

A hotel and a residential tower in one registry record

The Ocean Club is really two markets under one P.H. The lower portion of the tower operates as a hotel — opened in 2011 under the Trump brand and run as the JW Marriott Panama since the rebrand — and its hotel-condo units are owned individually and trade as small-format investments. Above them sit conventional residences with full-size floor plans. That is why the registry shows unit sizes from the 40s of square meters up to nearly 1,000 m², and why price per square meter varies more here than in almost any other building we track. Comparing a hotel-condo closing against a residential closing without separating the two programs produces a meaningless number; the full report keeps them apart.

Why The Ocean Club is the most traded building in our dataset

With more than a thousand recorded sales since delivery — and roughly half of them in the last three years — The Ocean Club is the single most liquid building in Panacomps' coverage. The combination of a branded hotel, a marina, a casino and the Punta Pacifica address keeps a steady flow of investors, second-home buyers and short-term-rental operators moving through the building. For a buyer, that liquidity is the point: there is always a recent, directly comparable closing to negotiate against, which is rarely true in smaller towers.

Buying or Renting Here? Check the Real Numbers First

Listing prices on Panama’s property portals are asking prices — what a seller hopes to get, not what buyers actually pay. The gap between the two can be substantial, and in a building with a resale record as deep as The Ocean Club’s, the registry tells you exactly where real deals have closed. Walking into a negotiation with verified comps for the specific tower, floor band and unit size is the single biggest advantage a buyer can have in Panama City.

About P.H. The Ocean Club (TOC)

P.H. The Ocean Club is a 70-story, sail-shaped tower on the Punta Pacifica waterfront, designed by Arias Serna Saravia and completed in 2011 as the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel & Tower. The hotel component has operated as the JW Marriott Panama since 2018; the residential floors, the marina and the amenity decks continue under the P.H. structure. It remains one of the tallest buildings in Latin America and the defining silhouette of the Panama City skyline.
