A new mixed-use development has received approval in Boca Raton’s 700-acre Park at Broken Sound, expanding the list of projects planned for the former business park.
On Tuesday, the Boca Raton City Council unanimously passed two ordinances and three resolutions, granting Aventura-based Meyers Accesso permission to develop a 290,000-square-foot, 222-unit apartment complex adjacent to the Atrium at Broken Sound office building at 6111 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway.
This Boca Raton project, which gained unanimous support from the city’s planning and zoning board in November, will feature approximately 2,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, a rooftop pool deck, 23 affordable housing units, and 12 workforce apartments. In addition, the developers are required to include a 2,000-square-foot dog park onsite, according to Jim Bell, a Boca Raton project manager who addressed the council.
An affiliate of Meyers Accesso—a partnership between Meyers Group, led by CEO Alan Losada, and Hallandale Beach-based Accesso Partners—purchased the 10.5-acre office property, which is next to an 18-hole golf course, for $25 million in 2024.
The Atrium development is just one of several projects advancing in or near the Park at Broken Sound. Among the largest is the redevelopment of Office Depot’s headquarters by BH Group, PEBB Enterprises, and the Real Group. That undertaking includes a renovated 405,000-square-foot office complex, a 37,000-square-foot Equinox fitness center, and a 500-unit apartment building.
Other upcoming projects in the Park at Broken Sound area include a 334,000-square-foot mixed-income development with 289 apartments at 900 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway, which was approved by the council in July. In March, Oak Lane Partners’ Bhavin Shah proposed a 243-unit Live Local Act project next to the company’s headquarters at 791 Park of Commerce Boulevard.
More recently, in September, New York-based Tishman Speyer acquired the 270-unit Bell at Broken Sound Apartments for $125 million.
Plans by Beztak and Wexford Real Estate to add 21 more apartments and a fitness center to their previously approved 277-unit Bocora apartment development at the 21.4-acre Amtec Center business park (6401-6481 Congress Avenue) will not proceed, as the developers have withdrawn their request. However, they still plan to designate the Xceed Preparatory Academy tutoring center, which currently operates in an Amtec Center office building, as a private school—a proposal that also received unanimous approval from the Boca Raton City Council this week.
