PALM BEACH REAL ESTATE

President Donald Trump often crows about the sublime surroundings and topnotch value of his Mar-a-Lago Club, and it seems the folks at the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s office agree: Trump’s  winter White House was the rare piece of property to post a double-digit gain in value for 2016.

The property appraiser just posted its market values as of Jan. 1, 2017, and it pegs Mar-a-Lago’s worth at $23.1 million, up 10 percent from last year.

After he won the election, Trump doubled the initial membership fee to $200,000. More recently, though, 20 charities have canceled their fundraisers at the club.

A spot check of 2017 taxable values of some other Palm Beach County landmarks:

• Town Center Mall in Boca Raton is worth $490 million, up 6.5 percent from 2016.
• Gardens Mall in Palm Beach Gardens is valued at $318.9 million, up 7 percent.
• The Breakers in Palm Beach is worth $285.6 million, up 7.5 percent.
• Boca Raton Resort and Club is valued at $218.5 million, up 9 percent.
• The Phillips Point office complex in West Palm Beach is worth $162.4 million, up 6.2 percent.
• The Ziff estate in Manalapan, which is for sale for $165 million, is valued at $83 million, up 6.7 percent.
• Trump’s Jupiter Golf Club is worth $15.7 million, up 7.3 percent.
• The now-empty Macy’s store at CityPlace in West Palm Beach is worth $2 million, down 23 percent.

Intriguingly, one rare property to top Mar-a-Lago’s 10 percent gain was the Macy’s store at Town Center in Boca. By the property appraiser’s reckoning, its value rose 10.2 percent, to $17.3 million.
