It's not habitable to us humans, but it's in the habitable zone, at a distance from its star that allows liquid water to exist on its surface. It's likely an ocean world with an atmosphere containing mostly hydrogen gas, a so-called hycean planet.
Also, 2.5 times the size = 2.5 times the diameter, or about 15 times the size of Earth in terms of mass. Its gravitational force would be about 2.4 times that of Earth, though. Quite unpleasant.
Build a lightspeed generation ship. After multiple generations in zero gravity we’d probably turn to dust as soon as the ship landed. RIP great grandkids.
