BOCA RATON — A new residential project approved by council members will bring 287 new apartments to The Park at Broken Sound in Boca Raton.

The developer, Mutual of America, plans to build a seven-story building with 2,000 square feet of retail space at 1150 NW Broken Sound Parkway. It will take up approximately 355,055 square feet. Council members unanimously approved the project in February after the city's Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval.

The Park at Broken Sound is a 700-acre commercial and residential complex. It started off as one of Florida's first commercial office parks in 1978.

The project, called Mutual of America Residential, will include 29 affordable housing units and 15 workforce housing units, according to an application submitted to the city. It will go between existing office buildings and The Old Course at Broken Sound — a private 18-hole golf course.

Residences will include two efficiency units, 121 one-bedroom units, 131 two-bedroom units and 33 three-bedroom units. Of those, one efficiency unit, 19 one-bedrooms, 19 two-bedrooms and five three-bedrooms will be either workforce or affordable housing units.

Also included in the plan is a a seven-story, 158,000-square-foot office building with a six-story parking garage that's already been approved.

A seven-level integrated parking structure will provide new residents with 502 total parking spaces and 36 bicycle parking spaces. Of the parking spaces, 25 will be EV installed, meaning an electric vehicle charging station will be readily available.

The new residences will become one of eight residential communities at The Park at Broken Sound.

Are you stupid or do you think you are clever and can trick people reading this blog? Why would the company announce to the world what the deal might be before it is a done deal and has closed? If you think the company is going to tell you the answer to your questions before it has closed the deal, you are stupid. If you think asking questions that you know the company shouldn't answer until after the deal closes will make people believe there is something nefarious going on or that the company must be making a bad deal, you think you are clever ... but you're not. You are very amusing though. And if YOU are one of the people who were let go, that fact alone certainly demonstrates the company is going in the right direction.

So, how how much is the Boca property currently valued at ? How much is it projected to sell for based on this development ? If the entire property is being sold including the building, would the Firm do a Rent Back and pay back to this developer $500k-$1M a year just to use and rent back the property that they sold for $30-$35M ? Is that the game plan ?

As a retiree who lives in West Palm, who is going to pay for this so called "Mutual of Residential" complex ? Is it totally on the builder or is Mutual of America poney in up several million in seed money ? Besides selling the land for $7-$10M, is Mutual forking over $25-$50M to invest in these luxury condos ? It's isn't clear from any of the reporting who is financially backing this deal, how much, and what the payback is. Personally, this is bad deal for Mutual. Not sure how they could or would generate any revenue or positive cashflow on this at least in the first 10 years. We need more information and better reporting.

Well, if the Palm Beach Post wrote it, it must be true. (sarcasm)

Yes, prior management at the company planned to develop the Boca property. Those people are gone.

New management has made it very clear that the company is divesting its real estate portfolio to focus on its core business. It has already sold its 320 Park building and is in the process of selling its Boca property. New management completed the process of obtaining the right to develop the property in order to maximize the property's value (and not waste the money already spent trying to secure those rights). I'm sure the soon to be new owner of the Boca property will build the residential units as that is what makes the Boca property valuable.

Just like it did in NYC after selling 320 Park, the company plans to stay in Boca after selling the property at Broken Sound.
