Key Benefits to the City of Boca Raton

Reimagining the Downtown

Boca Raton is a world-class city, and it deserves a vibrant downtown and world class public buildings.

Today’s City Hall, Community Center, and related facilities are outdated, costly to maintain, and no longer meet the needs of a growing community. This project allows the City to replace them with welcoming and state-of-the-art buildings designed to serve residents for decades to come.

Delivering Billions in Economic Impact

Adding more green space in downtown, including the enhancement of Memorial Park with a dedicated monument

Preserving 6 historic banyan trees in their original locations

Delivering a world-class Community Center and City Hall

Collaborating with city on new and improved on-site and off-site recreational facilities including a downtown state-of-the-art tennis facility, indoor and outdoor basketball courts and world-class children’s playground and off-site softball fields and skatepark that are made possible from project revenue

Highlights of What’s Coming

Parks and Recreation for the Future

Expanded Access. Upgraded Facilities. World Class Recreation.

More dedicated, usable green open space in the downtown campus plus upgraded and expanded recreational facilities on site and throughout the city. These enhancements are designed to serve our community with higher quality facilities — all while keeping parks and play conveniently located.

Community Outreach

Listening. Engaging. Building Together.

At Frisbie Group and Terra, we believe that the best proposals start with meaningful conversations. That’s why community outreach has been at the heart of the Boca Raton Government Campus Redevelopment from day one.

Over the past year, we’ve met with dozens of local leaders, organizations, and residents to better understand the needs, priorities, and vision of the Boca Raton community. From open houses to neighborhood presentations and one-on-one conversations — every voice helps shape this project.

What We’ve Learned

These conversations have helped us:

Understand what matters most to Boca residents — including green space, walkability, and preserving local character
Identify opportunities to enhance community services and amenities
Build a plan that reflects Boca’s values and future aspirations

Why a Public-Private Partnership (P3)?

Why Now?

Boca Raton is a world-class city, and it deserves world-class buildings.

This P3 will allow the City of Boca Raton access to private capital markets and expertise and the ability to more efficiently and expeditiously deliver an important innovative project that includes improved amenities, city services and cultural institutions.

What Is a Public-Private Partnership?

A Public-Private Partnership (P3) is a collaboration between a government agency and a private developer to deliver major public projects. In this case, Terra and Frisbie Group have partnered with the City of Boca Raton to redevelop the 30-acre Government Campus, bringing private-sector resources and experience to help the City build new civic facilities and reimagine public land without placing the cost on taxpayers.

A Proven Model in Boca Raton

Public-private partnerships have a long history in Boca Raton. In fact, one of the City’s most beloved landmarks was built using this very approach. In the early 1990s, the City partnered with a private developer to transform the failing Boca Raton Mall into what is now Mizner Park. The project was built on City-owned land and continues to operate under a long-term ground lease – the same structure proposed for the Government Campus Redevelopment. This model preserved public ownership, attracted private investment, and created one of Boca Raton’s most successful and enduring cultural and community destinations.

How This Project Came Together

In October 2024, we submitted an unsolicited proposal to redevelop the City’s Government Campus. A second proposal followed, prompting the City to open a competitive, public process. After careful evaluation, we were honored to be unanimously selected by the council in February 2025 to move forward as the city’s partner.

We want to enhance them, make them stronger as social entities, listen to their singular voices and give hope to future generations.

Boca Raton’s History of Evolution

Evolving for Over 100 Years.
The Next Step Is Here.

Every generation, Boca Raton has seized a defining opportunity – one that reshaped the city and improved life for the people who call it home.

Now, we have a unique and transformative opportunity.

The Government Campus Redevelopment is this generation’s opportunity to reimagine the civic heart of our city and shape the future of Boca Raton.

Endorsements

“We look forward to our continued discussions as we work on plans to create a vibrant, walkable downtown that will serve Boca Raton for the next generation,”

— Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer

“…would bring a new city hall and community center and transform a dead zone. New parks and private development would draw locals and outsiders. Revenue from lease payments would help to secure Boca Raton’s financial future in uncertain times.”

— City Manager George Brown

“Mizner Park was a public-private partnership,” said Singer. “It was the most successful partnership in our city’s history, and we have the opportunity to do the same here.”

— Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer

Frequently Asked Questions

What is happening to the existing government buildings?

The City’s existing Government Campus has served the community for decades but is now outdated and inefficient. Our proposal modernizes these facilities through a thoughtful public-private partnership, delivering safer, more resilient, and more accessible buildings — all at minimal cost to taxpayers.

Will the public lose access to any green or recreational space?

The project increases downtown green space by 40% compared to what exists today. Preserving and enhancing public green space is central to our plan. No public parks or recreation amenities are being taken away — in fact, they’re being improved. Please see the Recreation page for full details on new upgrades to Meadows Park, Sugar Sand Park, and key facilities across the City.

Why does this project include private development?

Private development on a portion of the site helps fund significant public benefits — including a new City Hall, Police Department, fire station, structured parking, and upgraded parks — without burdening taxpayers. Our role as a development partner is to ensure quality, long-term value for the City while delivering these improvements efficiently.

Why is the project being done through a Public-Private Partnership (P3)?

The P3 model reduces the financial burden on taxpayers by leveraging private investment to deliver public benefits. Instead of the City bearing the full cost of new buildings and infrastructure, Terra and Frisbie are partnering to finance, build, and maintain key elements of the plan. This model has been used successfully before—Mizner Park being a notable example.

Will this project increase traffic?

The proposed mix of civic and residential uses will have a minimal impact on traffic — particularly when compared to other potential uses that could be developed by-right. We are working closely with City staff and engineers to ensure all transportation considerations are addressed.

How will resident feedback be incorporated?

Our plan has incorporated resident feedback since inception. We’ve incorporated ideas from residents, civic leaders, and local organizations to create a more community-focused plan. From public safety concerns to preserving recreation and prioritizing pedestrian access, we’ve reflected “what we heard” throughout the current proposal. Please see the Community Input page for a detailed breakdown

Why has the plan changed since the original RFP?

The design has evolved in direct response to community and City input. Key changes include:

Removed 217 residential units and 3 residential buildings
Added 1 office building
Redesigned Southwest Park with a playground and retail space
Increased active recreational space by approximately 20%
Enhanced community center with fitness room, indoor courts, and meeting spaces
Added diagonal connection between W. Palmetto Rd and the park
Improved bike and pedestrian safety
Increased ground-floor retail and activated the W. Palmetto Rd streetfront

Is this project being rushed?

No. Our partnership is committed to long-term stewardship, not quick fixes.
This process has followed a deliberate and transparent course, guided by the City through its formal RFP (Request for Proposals) process. Every major step has been reviewed, refined, and approved through public meetings and staff review.

What is the timeline for this redevelopment?

The project will be delivered in carefully phased stages. The first priority is the new government facilities, followed by residential and mixed-use components. Phasing is designed to minimize disruption to city operations and community use.

How will the new Civic Campus compare to what exists today?

The new Government Campus will be safer, more welcoming, and more functional. The plan provides better storm resiliency, upgraded accessibility, and modern energy efficiency. We are excited by this generational opportunity to serve residents with public infrastructure that matches Boca Raton’s future.

How is the project addressing sustainability?

The plan incorporates best practices for sustainable urban design, including:

All buildings will be LEED Gold minimum
Project is Net Zero Ready and Carbon Neutral Compatible
Incorporates bioswales, permeable surfaces, and native plantings
Focus on transit-oriented development and reduced car dependence
Bicycle infrastructure: wider lanes, buffers, better crossings
Reduced lane widths to slow traffic and improve safety

Will the project cause displacement or harm to the community?

No residents will be displaced. This is a government and civic campus project, not a residential redevelopment. The project improves civic infrastructure, recreation, and public services, all while preserving Boca’s community character and charm.

Is the City being transparent about the costs and benefits?

Yes. The City has posted updated plans, renderings, and financial documents online, and continues to engage the public. This website was created specifically to provide facts, address misinformation, and ensure every resident has access to the full picture. You can view details here: https://www.myboca.us/FAQ.aspx?QID=462

What is happening to the tennis courts?

The current Government Campus includes 10 tennis courts, but they are aging, lack accessibility for our community’s disabled, and sit on land that’s underutilized in other ways. Our plan ensures that at least 10 courts are replaced, relocated, and modernized — with options for enhanced facilities like better lighting, spectator seating, and tournament programming.
