The Residences at The Boca Raton introduce a landmark collection of private homes within the historic grounds of The Boca Raton, one of America’s most celebrated resort destinations. For the first time in the property’s century-long history, owners will have the opportunity to establish a permanent residence inside the resort itself, combining private residential ownership with extraordinary access to The Boca Raton’s renowned hospitality, club, beach, golf, wellness and recreational lifestyle.
The boutique collection comprises just 75 private condominium residences, ranging from two to five bedrooms and encompassing Terrace Residences, an exclusive Penthouse Collection and three private Villas. Developed by BDT & MSD Partners, the ownership group behind The Boca Raton, the residences feature architecture by Hart Howerton, interiors by AD100 firm Pembrooke & Ives and landscape design by EDSA.
Groundbreaking is planned for late 2026, with completion anticipated in 2029.
The significance of this project begins with its setting.
The Boca Raton traces its origins to architect Addison Mizner’s 1920s vision for an extraordinary South Florida resort estate. Over the following century, the property evolved into a globally recognized destination encompassing private beach, golf, dining, wellness, marina, racquet sports and extensive resort amenities.
The Residences represent the first fully integrated private residential offering to rise within those historic resort grounds. Rather than buying a condominium near The Boca Raton, residents are buying into the physical and lifestyle environment of the resort itself.
That distinction gives the development a fundamentally different position within the Boca Raton new-construction market.
The residences range from two to five bedrooms and have been designed around large terraces, substantial entertaining spaces, natural light and views across the resort grounds, golf course and, from select elevated residences, toward the Atlantic Ocean.
The architecture by Hart Howerton draws from the enduring character of The Boca Raton while translating it into a more contemporary residential expression. An ivory coastal-stucco and shell-stone exterior, warm bronze detailing and extensive landscaping allow the building to feel connected to the historic estate rather than inserted into it as an unrelated modern tower.
Residential interiors by Pembrooke & Ives take a similarly restrained approach, balancing the resort’s heritage with contemporary materials, proportions and detailing. The design is intended to provide owners with a sophisticated but flexible foundation for creating a highly personal home.
The Terrace Residences form the principal residential collection and provide the broadest range of two- through five-bedroom opportunities.
These homes are positioned to engage with the landscape surrounding The Boca Raton, including the golf course, mature banyan trees and extensive resort grounds. Generous terraces extend the living areas outdoors and reinforce the residential connection to the property’s tropical setting.
Unlike a conventional high-rise designed primarily around distant skyline views, the experience here is intentionally tied to living within a historic resort estate.
Current Terrace Residence pricing begins at approximately $5 million.
Three exclusive Villas provide an even more residential interpretation of the project.
Each Villa is distinguished by its own private garden, plunge pool and outdoor kitchen, creating an environment that feels closer to a private home while retaining access to the services and amenities of the residential building and resort.
For buyers who appreciate the privacy and outdoor living associated with a single-family Boca Raton residence but prefer professional management and a fully serviced resort environment, the Villas may represent the project’s most compelling alternative.
Current Villa pricing begins at approximately $13 million.
The Penthouse Collection occupies the development’s most elevated tier, capturing expansive views across The Boca Raton, the golf course and toward the Atlantic Ocean.
These residences combine the building’s largest-scale living environments with exceptional terraces, elevated exposures and the privacy expected at the top of an ultra-luxury residential offering.
Current Penthouse pricing begins at approximately $15 million, with individual pricing dependent upon residence size, configuration and position.
Although owners will have the opportunity to participate in the much larger Boca Raton Club environment, The Residences are also planned with approximately 45,000 square feet of private indoor and outdoor amenities exclusively serving the residential community.
That distinction is important: owners are not dependent solely upon resort amenities shared with hotel guests and club members.
Private residential amenities are planned to include:
The various environments are intended to support both quieter daily use and entertaining, while the relatively limited 75-residence population helps preserve a more private atmosphere.
Wellness receives its own significant dedicated component within The Residences.
A private approximately 3,500-square-foot spa is planned with longevity and wellness-optimization programming, hot and cold thermal experiences, hammam facilities and a serenity garden.
Separately, residents will have access to an approximately 3,500-square-foot fitness center incorporating a motion studio for group fitness and personal training along with a dedicated Pilates studio.
Combined with the broader wellness offerings available through The Boca Raton Club, this creates a particularly deep health and fitness environment without requiring owners to leave the resort campus.
Perhaps the development’s greatest differentiator is the relationship between residential ownership and The Boca Raton Club.
Residents are invited to join through a new Elite Residential Membership, which provides an elevated level of access to the resort and club experience. The membership is designed specifically for residential owners and carries high-priority status within the club.
The Boca Raton Club lifestyle encompasses access to experiences including:
Current membership terms, dues and specific privileges should be reviewed with the residential sales team at the time of purchase rather than assumed to be automatically included in the condominium purchase.
One of the most unusual features of the Elite Residential Membership is its multigenerational or “vertical” structure.
The current program is designed to extend eligible Club access beyond the owner to children, grandchildren, parents and grandparents, allowing the club relationship to support several generations of the family. Importantly, the benefit is associated with the residence, making the ownership proposition particularly relevant for buyers thinking in terms of a long-term or legacy family property.
That is a meaningful distinction from the typical branded-residential model, where hotel privileges generally center on the individual owner.
The Boca Raton’s hospitality platform extends into the private residences through dedicated residential service.
Planned offerings include in-residence butler service, with assistance extending into everyday residential needs and potentially including childcare and pet-care coordination.
The underlying advantage is similar to the best branded residential developments but amplified by the scale of the existing resort operation: owners can maintain a significant Boca Raton residence without independently creating the household-management infrastructure normally required for a large private home.
For seasonal owners or families maintaining multiple residences, this provides a particularly compelling lock-and-leave ownership experience.
The Boca Raton is unusual because the lifestyle is not centered around a single amenity.
A resident can move between golf, private beach, tennis, pickleball, swimming, spa, dining and marina experiences within the broader club and resort environment.
This breadth gives The Residences a very different character from a downtown condominium with an amenity deck.
The property functions much more like a private resort estate or country-club community—with the difference that owners live in a sophisticated, fully serviced condominium residence rather than maintaining a detached home.
The Residences are located within The Boca Raton at 501 East Camino Real, one of the most established luxury addresses in East Boca Raton.
The property sits between Downtown Boca Raton and the Atlantic Ocean, near Lake Boca Raton and the Intracoastal Waterway, while remaining convenient to Mizner Park, Royal Palm Place, downtown dining and shopping, beaches and Boca Raton’s broader coastal lifestyle.
Yet the location is unusual because owners do not simply live near the resort.
They live inside it.
For buyers comparing Boca Raton new construction condos, luxury branded residences, Boca Raton Club real estate and resort residences in South Florida, that may ultimately be the most important distinction.
The Residences at The Boca Raton should not be viewed as a direct substitute for every new condominium in Downtown Boca Raton.
Projects such as Glass House, ALINA and Mr. C offer compelling modern residential experiences built around downtown walkability, contemporary design or branded hospitality.
The Residences at The Boca Raton are different.
The value proposition is ownership inside an established century-old resort and private-club ecosystem that already exists.
For a buyer who prioritizes golf, beach, family membership, service, privacy and a true resort lifestyle, that distinction can be considerably more important than whether a condominium is one or two blocks closer to Mizner Park.
There is also a multigenerational component here that deserves emphasis.
Between the very limited collection of only 75 homes, the resort’s century-long history, the Elite Residential Membership structure and BDT & MSD Partners’ long-term stewardship of the property, the development is being positioned as an ownership opportunity intended to endure rather than simply another cycle of new condominium construction.
For buyers considering a property that may eventually pass to children or grandchildren, the connection between the residence, club and established resort institution creates a particularly strong legacy proposition.
The Residences at The Boca Raton are currently in pre-construction, with groundbreaking anticipated in late 2026 and completion targeted for 2029.
The current residential offering consists of just 75 homes ranging from two to five bedrooms.
Current pricing begins at approximately:
Pricing varies according to residence collection, floor plan, size, exposure, views and individual features. Current inventory and pricing are subject to change as sales progress.

The residences are planned within the historic grounds of The Boca Raton resort at 501 East Camino Real. They are conceived as private homes integrated with the resort and club experience, not as ordinary hotel inventory.
The Boca Raton’s ownership group, BDT & MSD Partners, is leading the development. Hart Howerton is the design architect, Pembrooke & Ives is responsible for interiors, and Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is the exclusive sales and marketing agent.
City records describe an eight-story, 76-unit residential building. The official resort describes two- to five-bedroom homes across Terrace Residences, a Penthouse Collection, and three Villas with private gardens, plunge pools, and outdoor kitchens.
The official project emphasizes private resident amenities, services delivered by The Boca Raton’s hospitality team, and a curated relationship with the resort and club. Exact club privileges, reservation priority, guest access, food and beverage, spa/golf access, and separate charges require written confirmation.
The resort says homes are designed for views of the Atlantic Ocean and resort grounds. Hart Howerton’s architecture uses coastal stucco, shell stone, and bronze detailing intended to respond to Addison Mizner’s original resort character.
The official resort announced a late-2026 groundbreaking and a 2029 completion target. These are estimates; buyers should check the contract’s outside date, permitted extensions, phasing, and the latest written construction report.
City review documents describe underground parking, but unit allocations were not established in the public materials reviewed. Pet limits, lease minimums, owner-occupancy, and any resort-management or guest-use restrictions should be verified in the declaration and club agreements.
The resort’s July 2026 editorial page said two- to five-bedroom homes start at $4 million, but live availability may already differ. The on-site sales gallery operates by private appointment; request a dated unit schedule, deposits, fees, club obligations, parking, and closing costs.
