Boca Raton holds about 18.5 million SF of office space across CoStar's three Boca submarkets, roughly 31% of Palm Beach County's inventory and more than any other city in the county. Over the past twelve months the Boca Raton North submarket, home to the Boca Raton Innovation Campus and the Park at Broken Sound, absorbed about 436,000 SF, the most in the county, led by Fiserv's 254,000 SF lease at BRiC and D-Wave's decision to move its corporate headquarters from Palo Alto to the same campus.

Market Overview

Commercial real estate in Boca Raton, Florida

The rest of the market is more mixed. Average office vacancy across the three submarkets is about 12%, above the county's 8.4%, and buyers have spent more than $300 million in the past year on Boca office buildings along Glades Road, Yamato Road and Congress Avenue, most of them built in the 1980s and several of them partly vacant, at $186 to $407 per SF. Downtown, The Aletto, billed by its developers as the first new Class A office building downtown in nearly 25 years, is under construction while voters in March rejected the One Boca plan for the city's government campus. Beyond office, Boca Raton is a 102,000-resident city with a hospital opening a new tower of more than 200 private rooms, a Brightline station downtown, a Tri-Rail station on Yamato Road and apartment communities trading above $500,000 per unit.

What Drives Demand

Why Boca Raton

01

The county's largest office market

About 18.5 million SF across Boca Raton East, North and West, roughly 31% of Palm Beach County's office inventory (CoStar). Boca Raton North led the county in absorption over the past year at about 436,000 SF.

02

Corporate and technology tenants

Fiserv signed the largest office lease in the county over the past twelve months, 254,269 SF at BRiC. D-Wave is relocating its corporate headquarters and U.S. R&D to BRiC by the end of 2026, and Celsius, UBS and MDVIP all took or renewed large blocks in 2025 and 2026.

03

Health care

Baptist Health's Boca Raton Regional Hospital is opening the Gloria Drummond Patient Tower at the end of October 2026, more than 200 private rooms in a roughly $1 billion facility, adding to demand for medical office around Meadows Road and the Glades Road corridor.

04

Transit and education

Brightline stops downtown and Tri-Rail serves Yamato Road, where the 340-unit Link at Boca broke ground in February 2026. Florida Atlantic University's main campus will host D-Wave's Advantage2 quantum computer under a $20 million agreement.

Submarkets & Corridors

Where the activity is

Downtown, Mizner Park and Royal Palm Place

CoStar's Boca Raton East submarket: $50.86 per SF and 10.4% vacancy. The Aletto is under construction on East Palmetto Park Road, and a 12-story, 219-room hotel was approved in March 2026 next to Mizner Park.

Glades Road, Town Center and Boca Center

Boca Raton West: the highest office rents in the city at $56.49 per SF, up 8.4% in a year, the fastest rent growth in the county. One Boca Place and Two Town Center both sold in fall 2026.

BRiC, Park at Broken Sound and Yamato Road

Boca Raton North: 7.4 million SF, 13.3% vacancy and the county's strongest absorption. Related Ross bought the 124-acre, 1.7 million SF BRiC campus in 2026 and plans to add amenities, retail and restaurants.

Congress Avenue and the I-95 corridor

Flex, light industrial, service and suburban office, plus the Link at Boca transit-oriented project at the Tri-Rail station on Yamato Road.

GoCommercial Market Analysis · Boca Raton

CoStar's current figures for Palm Beach County, the market that covers Boca Raton, put asking rents at office $51.22 per SF (+6.9%) with 8.4% vacancy, down 39 bps year over year; industrial $18.62 per SF (+2.3%) with 7.9% vacancy, up 106 bps year over year; retail $39.79 per SF (+6.8%) with 3.9% vacancy, up 20 bps year over year; and multifamily $2,580 per unit (+3.0%) with 6.4% vacancy, down 56 bps year over year.

Over the past 12 months, office absorbed 306K SF against 10K SF delivered, with 2.5M SF under construction (4.2% of inventory). Industrial absorbed 83K SF against 959K SF delivered, with 234K SF under construction (0.3% of inventory). Retail absorbed 219K SF against 298K SF delivered, with 282K SF under construction (0.3% of inventory). Multifamily absorbed 1,932 units against 1,383 units delivered, with 8,503 units under construction (10.0% of inventory).

Investment sales across the four property types totaled about $4.42B over the trailing 12 months across 871 transactions, at market cap rates of office 7.2%, industrial 6.4%, retail 6.1% and multifamily 5.0%.

Our read: Palm Beach County posts the strongest rent growth in the state across office, retail and multifamily, with vacancy falling in office and multifamily. The caution is in the pipeline: 2.5 million SF of office (4.2% of inventory) and 8,500 apartment units (10% of inventory) are under construction, well above the county's historical pace. We expect the best-located new product to lease, and older assets along the same corridors to compete on price and concessions while that happens.

What we are seeing in Boca Raton

Boca Raton is bustling. Our office leasing initiatives remain strong, and on corporate investment sales, where we represent both buyers and sellers, transactions have been relatively friction free because so many buyers want a position in the Boca market.

Along Boca's northern Federal Highway corridor, close to downtown, we recently sold a fully stabilized 35,000 SF office building in a prime location as part of a larger portfolio disposition, working closely with our client. We represented both sides and separately negotiated the building's cellular tower lease and its sale.

We are also working on a large development assemblage on Federal Highway. Western Boca is really taking shape.

The Boca Raton office market

Boca Raton is really three office markets. Boca Raton West, around Glades Road, Town Center and Boca Center, has the city's highest asking rents at $56.49 per SF and the fastest rent growth in the county, 8.4% in a year, with vacancy at 11.8%. Boca Raton East, downtown and along Federal Highway, averages $50.86 at 10.4% vacancy. Boca Raton North, the BRiC and Park at Broken Sound campuses along Yamato Road and Congress Avenue, is the largest at 7.4 million SF, the cheapest at $46.81, and the most vacant at 13.3%, yet it absorbed about 436,000 SF over the past year while East and West each gave back space.

That split explains where capital is going. Buyers paid $186 to $407 per SF this year for older Boca office buildings, several of them 23% to 46% vacant, betting that the tenants moving into BRiC and downtown will keep filling Boca's better-located older stock. For owners of those buildings, rent and vacancy against the submarket average now matter more to value than the cap rate on current income. For tenants, Boca still offers real choice: most submarkets have double-digit vacancy, while new downtown space at The Aletto is about three-quarters pre-leased before delivery.

Retail, industrial, apartments and hotels

Boca Raton retail is among the tightest and fastest-growing in the county, with all three submarkets under 4% vacancy and rents up more than 8% in a year. Industrial space is scarce and expensive: Boca Raton East has the highest industrial asking rent in Palm Beach County, and the Park at Broken Sound holds about 5.4 million SF of flex and light industrial at 4% vacancy. Apartments are steady at 5.2% vacancy with 1,422 units under construction. Recent retail trades include three buildings on Yamato Road, among them Regency Court at Woodfield, for about $90.3 million combined in October 2026, and Polo Club Shoppes on Champion Boulevard for $67.5 million in December 2025.

Zoning, policy and constraints

  • The government campus vote. On March 10, 2026, about 74% of voters rejected One Boca, the Terra and Frisbie Group plan to redevelop the city-owned downtown government campus with a new city hall, offices, a hotel, shops and restaurants under a 99-year lease. A future council could bring a different plan. Downtown owners should expect continued resident scrutiny of height, traffic and public land.
  • Downtown CRA review. Downtown projects go through the Boca Raton Community Redevelopment Agency. The Mizner Plaza hotel was approved in March 2026 with conditions on traffic, alley loading, parking and construction monitoring, a sign of how detailed that review has become.
  • City versus county jurisdiction. Much of West Boca, including many properties with a Boca Raton mailing address west of the Turnpike, is unincorporated Palm Beach County with different zoning, approvals and impact fees. Confirm jurisdiction before underwriting.
  • Operating costs. CoStar puts 4 and 5 Star office operating expenses in Boca Raton at $17.44 per SF per year, including $5.01 in real estate taxes.

What to evaluate in Boca Raton

If you own and are considering a sale

  • Your vacancy and rent against your CoStar submarket, which now matter more to value than the cap rate on current income
  • Lease rollover in the next 24 months and how it reads to a value-add buyer
  • Whether your site sits in the city or unincorporated West Boca, which changes zoning and approvals
  • Parking ratio, which limits conversion of office to medical use

If you are buying

  • Recent trades at $186 to $407 per SF for older office against what the same tenants pay in new space
  • Capital needed for roofs, elevators, HVAC and parking before lease-up

If you are a landlord

  • How BRiC's new ownership and amenities change what tenants expect along Yamato Road
  • Concessions and tenant improvement packages in buildings with double-digit vacancy
  • Retail rents rising above 8% a year, and whether leases include market resets

If you are a tenant

  • Choice: most Boca office submarkets are 10% to 13% vacant, so terms are negotiable
  • Downtown space at The Aletto is about three-quarters pre-leased before delivery
  • Total occupancy cost, including CoStar's $17.44 per SF operating estimate for 4 and 5 Star buildings

Questions

Frequently asked

Is Boca Raton office a good investment right now?
For value-add buyers it has been an active year: older Boca office buildings, several of them 23% to 46% vacant, traded at $186 to $407 per SF, while the Boca Raton North submarket absorbed more space than any other in the county. The risk is vacancy, which averages about 12% across Boca against 8.4% countywide, so leasing assumptions drive the result.
Which part of Boca Raton has the highest office rents?
Boca Raton West, around Glades Road, Town Center and Boca Center, at an average $56.49 per SF with the fastest rent growth in the county, 8.4% in a year. Downtown averages $50.86 and the BRiC and Park at Broken Sound area $46.81 (CoStar, Q4 2026).
What happened to the One Boca downtown campus project?
Voters rejected it on March 10, 2026, by roughly 74% to 25%. The government campus remains city-owned with no current redevelopment plan, though a future council could propose a different one.
