Boca Raton, FL (January 20, 2026) – Today, One Boca received a critical endorsement from the Boca Raton City Council – approval of the Master Partnership Agreement (MPA), Development Management and Construction Agreement for the Public Facilities, and Leases for the Private Facilities – sending the transformative initiative to the voters in March. One Boca also released a conceptual rendering of Memorial Park designed in partnership with members from the veteran community in Palm Beach County and Boca Raton. The One Boca proposal is a smaller, smarter plan that creates a vibrant destination, generating more than $4 billion¹ in revenue for the City, funding park improvements, civic facilities, and future community investments – including a new police substation, City Hall, and Community Center – all without raising taxes.

“We appreciate the Council’s support of One Boca and the support we have received from across the community,” said Rob Frisbie, Managing Partner of the Frisbie Group, a co-developer of One Boca. “The One Boca team looks forward to continuing to meet with groups and residents, educating and informing them of the benefits of the proposal and the lasting positive impact it will have on the entire city.”

If the One Boca proposal is approved by the voters on March 10, the MPA will be the binding document that outlines the legal obligations of each entity for the development of the 7.8 acres of land adjacent to the Brightline station and the Government Center Campus. The City and its residents will lead the design and planning of the Memorial Park area, with the option to leverage the One Boca team’s expertise.

At today’s meeting, the One Boca team in partnership with the City and members from the veterans community shared conceptual renderings of Memorial Park. While these images are preliminary conceptual renderings, they showcase the incredible possibilities of the reimagining of the public space and honoring of the city’s veterans and their families. 

“As a veteran and resident who was born and raised in Boca Raton, I am deeply invested in what happens to Memorial Park. Several of my friends lost their lives in combat or due to suicide so memorials mean a lot to me,” said John Schrey, U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Boca Raton resident. “I was asked to participate in the initial conceptual designs, and I got to see the renderings last month. Having lived in three different parts of the country, I’ve never seen a memorial that will memorialize my brothers and sisters more than what we’re going to do in Boca if this gets approved.”  

Memorial Park, the area west of NW 2nd Avenue, will remain 100 percent City owned. The City and its residents will lead the design of these improvements. The area will be dedicated to green open space, children’s playgrounds, tennis courts, recreation, and civic uses including the new police substation, City Hall, and Community Center.

Recently, the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors endorsed the project. 

“The Chamber is proud to support the One Boca proposal and believes it fully aligns with its mission of promoting and sustaining economic prosperity for the city,” said Troy McLellan, President & CEO of the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce. “On behalf of the business community, we applaud the Council’s efforts in moving the project forward and the One Boca team’s committed investment in our community to create a new vibrant downtown destination.”

The One Boca proposal focuses on the pedestrian experience and prioritizes safety. With ground-floor elements on the 7.8 acres of leased land, such as restaurants, cafes and retail amenities, this area will be the new destination for meeting, dining and enjoying the heart of Boca Raton. Protected bike lanes, shaded sidewalks and active plazas throughout the development will prioritize walkability and accessibility.

One Boca highlights:

• Not a blade of grass will be reduced. In fact, for the first time, there will be new park space east of NW 2nd Avenue, connecting both sides of downtown with green, walkable public areas.
• Memorial Park remains 100 percent City-owned, preserved, and enhanced as the civic heart of downtown.
• Usable public recreation more than doubles, from 7.6 to 15.6 acres, including new playgrounds, tennis courts, and shaded walkways.
• New public facilities will be delivered, including a City Hall, Community Center, and Police Substation.
• Over the life of the development, One Boca will generate more than $4 billion¹ for the City from rent and tax revenues. The proposal will support the upfront issuance of $127 million¹ in bonds, paid for by project revenues. These funds will be reinvested into parks, civic amenities and community infrastructure, without burdening tax payers.
• The One Boca team is exploring the extension of the El Rio Trail into the Government Campus.
