One Boca by Terra & Frisbie Group – Boca Raton

Approved by the Boca Raton Planning and Zoning Board, Terra and Frisbie Group can now proceed for a first reading on their proposed 99-year lease of city-owned land, which would enable the development of One Boca. Board members supported the lease, citing the need to encourage development around the Brightline station and noting that downtown redevelopment is long overdue. 

The large-scale project would feature 765 apartments (77 of which will be workforce), 180 hotel rooms, a 30,000-square-foot grocery store, 120,000 square feet of office space, and 2,100 parking spots across 7.8 acres of city land, including at 101 Northwest Boca Raton Boulevard.

If approved, the transit-oriented One Boca would also be home to another mixed-use project featuring 182 condo units at 141 Northwest Fourth Street, a privately owned parcel. The developers are currently under contract to acquire the site.

If council members approve the first reading, the lease agreement will be presented to voters for final ratification in March.

As per earlier reports, the developers have also proposed a community benefits package, including a reimagined version of Memorial Park, a new city hall and community center, a World War II memorial, a new tennis center with up to 10 clay courts, a playground with banyan trees, and a new children’s museum.

Kadima Developers Acquires Casino-Adjacent Lot – Hallandale Beach 

Hot on the heels of breaking ground on Seven Park in Hallandale Beach, Miami-based Kadima Developers made headlines again with the purchase of a 12.2-acre vacant lot next door to the Big Easy Casino. The parcel sits just 10 minutes from the beach, five minutes from the under development, and within walking distance of the neighborhood’s top restaurants.

Billionaire Jeffrey Soffer sold the site at 831 North Federal Highway, not including the casino, for $31.1 million.

Kadima plans on developing the parcel into a master-planned community, featuring a mix of condos, apartments, retail, entertainment, and warehouse space. For now, the developer flipped about 3 acres of the site for $12 million to an affiliate of Persea Ventures, a Fintech investment firm, while retaining the role of project manager for the sold portion.
