The condominium community has 162 homes and is not gated.

History of Helen Mar

The original Helen Mar Apartment Hotel at 2421 Lake Pancoast Drive was designed by architect Robert E. Collins and completed in 1936 for owner John Marsa. Its Art Deco design included a stucco exterior, horizontal decorative bands, projecting balconets, high ceilings, fluted columns, and other period details.

The building was later renamed Pancoast Plaza before returning to the Helen Mar name. In 1987, the property was purchased and restored, with its 86 apartments converted into condominiums. Helen Mar is also part of the architectural history of the Lake Pancoast area, which contains a collection of prewar and early postwar residential buildings recognized within the Collins Waterfront Architectural District.
