What’s New at The Boca Raton Resort Expansion?
1. Project Recap: What Was Announced & What’s Coming
The Boca Raton Resort Expansion remains one of South Florida’s most closely watched luxury projects. Announced in mid-2025, the plan calls for an 8-story condo tower of 76 units on 1.1 acres, replacing a maintenance facility. The building is planned to rise to 100 feet, a height made possible by recent zoning changes. An underground garage with 142 spots will add much‐needed parking and privacy. (theworthgrp.com)
Since the initial announcement, architectural renderings and amenity details have sharpened. The development intends to integrate deeply with the resort’s existing offerings: beach club, golf, private marina, spa, fine dining, etc. The positioning is fully ultra-luxury, resort-style living.

2. Pricing & Market Comparisons: Then vs. Now
At launch, insiders speculated that prices would begin in the multi-million dollar range, with some top units potentially reaching eight figures. Comparable Boca projects like Glass House Boca Raton and Alina Residences provide benchmark pricing: many units priced from ~$2.6M to well north of $7M. (theworthgrp.com)
As of late 2025, demand for luxury condos (especially $5M+) in Boca has surged, with contracts doubling or more year over year. The median price for Boca Raton condos has climbed—recent reports place it closer to $2.3-$2.5M for new or premium finish projects, especially those with ocean or Intracoastal views. (This reflects both inflation + design premium + scarcity of waterfront inventory.)
Buyers comparing this to Miami or Palm Beach find value in the Boca offering—amenities, prestige, lifestyle—with somewhat lower PSF in some cases, though the top units here will compete at the top bracket.
3. Amenities, Lifestyle & Brand Positioning
What sets this expansion apart is the resort integration. Buyers aren’t just buying a condo, they’re buying seamless access to:
-
Private beach & beach club
-
Marina access or private dockage
-
Golf course privileges
-
Spa and wellness center
-
Fine dining and concierge services
These aren’t “extras” — they’re central to the offering. The Boca Raton Resort already has strong cachet; this expansion amplifies it. This is very appealing to high-net-worth, internationally mobile buyers who want turn-key, design-forward, full-service luxury.
4. Regulatory, Zoning & Infrastructure Update
Since the original proposal, The City of Boca Raton has approved the increase in height from 85 to 100 feet for this site—crucial for views and unit design. Infrastructure plans include ensuring traffic flow, parking capacity (142 underground spots), and integrating utility services without disrupting existing resort operations.
These regulatory details matter: they can influence unit design, layout, pricing, even closing timelines.
5. Who Is Buying & Demand Drivers in Today’s Luxury Market
Some buyer profiles to watch:
-
International buyers (Quebec/Canada, Europe, Latin America) looking for primary or second homes.
-
Relocators from Northeast / Mid-Atlantic / California seeking lower tax burden + beachfront lifestyle.
-
Investors/owners preferring branded residences — prestige + resale potential.
Demand has particularly surged for large terraces, ocean exposure, and units with privacy. Amenities are no longer optional—they are central to what defines value.
6. Risks & Considerations for Buyers
-
Deposit Schedule & Developer Reputation: Early deposits carry risk; ensure the developer background is solid.
-
Construction timeline & delays: Even top brands aren’t immune to delays, especially with supply-chain challenges.
-
Maintenance fees / HOA: With resorts, amenities = costs; understand what ongoing fees will be for upkeep of beach, marina, spa, etc.
-
Resale environment: Because ultra-luxury inventory is still relatively thin, resale value depends heavily on execution, finish quality, and brand.
7. Looking Ahead: When & How to Secure Early Access
For buyers looking to get ahead:
-
Watch for “Friends & Family” or VIP pre-release phases — these often offer better pricing and the best floor/view options.
-
Stay in touch with The Worth Group for updates; being on the early list matters.
-
Inspect finish quality in comparables; any delays or deviations can affect value.
Conclusion
The Boca Raton Resort’s luxury residential expansion is more than just a new building; it’s a statement about what luxury in Palm Beach County looks like now: design-driven, amenity-rich, and lifestyle-first. For those who value prestige, exclusivity, and the beach lifestyle, it’s one of the premier opportunities in 2025-2026.
