The city of Ft Lauderdale no longer allows pure condo buildings to be built along the public beach area. The city has done this to encourage tourism along the public beach. There are presently only three buildings on the beach which are purely condo buildings. There is also one co-op. The rest of the buildings are either hotels, time shares, or hotel/condo combinations. The Seasons has one of the best locations on the beach.

During the past year from 2007 thru 2008, the Seasons has undergone a 1.5 million dollar renovation. The building has new category 5 hurricane windows, a new roof, new air conditioner chiller, new elevators, concrete restoration of the balconies, new pavers around the entire building, new paint on the entire building, new doors, new keyless entry system, new marble tiles, a newly renovated club room, newly renovated gym, upgraded plumbing and electrical system, a new fire alarm system, and other upgrades and renovations.
