  • Real Estate Journal: Development Amid Constant Evolution in Boca Raton
    MENU Account FOR THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF [email protected] From the South Florida Business Journal: https://www.bizjournals.com/southflorida/news/2018/06/07/rej-boca-raton-spotlight.html Real Estate Journal Real Estate Journal: Development amid constant evolution in Boca Raton SUBSCRIBER CONTENT: Jun 7, 2018, 6:56am EDT Boca Raton’s development pattern mimics that of much of South Florida. Founded along the coast, once the east neared buildout, developers moved west. As land there now grows scarce, developers are looking back east for infill, rezoning and redevelopment to meet the city’s changing needs. No place better reveals this dynamic than the Park at Broken Sound. Created as a model corporate park in the 1970s, developers several years ago saw the Arvida Park of Commerce and its 700 acres as underutilized – and prime for redevelopment. They set in motion plans to rezone the park as a “planned mobility” destination COURTESY OF THE ALTMAN COMPANIES incorporating “live-work-play” design elements. Altis Boca Raton is among the offerings at the Park at Broken Sound. Today, luxury apartments, retail, dining and open space dot the former corporate park. “With today’s preference to live-work-play, the integration of housing in that development has been a smart addition,” said Joel Altman, chairman and CEO of The Altman Companies. Altman’s Altis apartments are joined by apartment communities Allure, Avalon, Cade Boca and The Lumin, with residences ranging from studios to three bedrooms. On one of the last large vacant parcels, Penn-Florida Companies is planning University Village. The mixed-use development near Spanish River Boulevard and Yamato Road will offer residential, dining, retail, hotel and “tech-savvy” office space targeting students from Florida Atlantic University and Lynn University, as well as baby boomers and seniors.
