The downtown development boom in Boca Raton continues to pick up steam, with the city’s planning board voting to recommend approval of an ambitious project consisting of a 12-story residential tower that will combine 306 apartments, a parking facility and an outdoor walking path open to the public along Dixie Highway.
The development, which will be known as “Modera,” represents one of the first major private development projects along Dixie Highway, home to aging properties beside the Florida East Coast Railroad tracks that have historically been overlooked by major developers. The company behind Modera, Mill Creek Residential, is based in Boca Raton and has pitched the complex as its first foray into the market in its hometown. Mill Creek, representatives said at the meeting, sees opportunity in the growing downtown district, as well as with its proximity to to the city’s Brightline station, representing an evolution in concept to development near the railroad tracks.
