Compson Associates wants to put up 157 residential units across two new buildings inside Boca Raton's Park at Broken Sound, trading surface parking lots at the decades-old office park for an eight-story apartment building and an eight-story luxury condo tower. The plans arrive as the sprawling commercial campus near Yamato Road pushes deeper into a yearslong shift from pure office space toward round-the-clock residential living.
As reported by The Real Deal, Compson Associates, led by Robert D'Angelo and Carl Klepper Jr., has filed plans for Park Tower at Broken Sound, a 97-unit building planned for 1075 and 1095 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway, and the Bertani at Broken Sound, a 60-unit luxury condominium proposed for 6001 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway. The Boca Raton Planning and Zoning Board is scheduled to review Park Tower on the same day this story published, with the Bertani proposal set for board consideration on October 15, per the same report.
Park Tower would rise on a five-acre property as an eight-story, 185,000-square-foot building with 207 parking spaces and a 2,100-square-foot retail and restaurant space, according to the outlet. Ten of its units would be set aside as affordable housing. The existing three-story, 50,300-square-foot office building on the site is slated to remain, along with its parking lot, while the new tower would occupy adjacent land.
A Country-Club Condo on a 1988 Office Site
The Bertani at Broken Sound would replace a parking lot tied to a roughly 103,000-square-foot office building completed in 1988, with Compson developing 2.4 acres of that site, The Real Deal reports. The condo's 60 units would range from 1,620 to 2,500 square feet, with six set aside as workforce housing, and amenities would include a pool deck, golf simulator, and lounge.
Buyers at the Bertani will also be required to join the adjoining Broken Sound Club, which carries initiation fees starting at $130,000 and annual dues exceeding $24,000 as of 2026, according to The Mastropieri Group. Palm Beach County guidelines define workforce housing as units restricted to households earning between 60 percent and 140 percent of the area median income, per Florida YIMBY. Under Florida's Live Local Act and local land use rules Boca Raton passed in February 2024, residential redevelopments on commercial properties can earn density bonuses by setting aside 10 percent of units for affordable housing and 5 percent for workforce housing, as detailed by Boca Mag.
Both projects are part of what the station's report describes as the final wave of residential allocations before the park hits its cap. Boca Raton established a 2,500-unit limit on residential units within the Park at Broken Sound overlay district specifically to preserve the area's role as a commercial employment hub, according to the same account from The Mastropieri Group.
From IBM-Era Office Park to Mixed-Use District
The transformation traces back to zoning changes made more than a decade ago. Boca Raton adopted Ordinance 5144 in October 2010 and formally designated the Park at Broken Sound as a Planned Mobility District in 2012, a move that opened the door for mixed-use residential infill on properties once restricted to single-use office buildings, per city documentation. The Real Deal's reporting confirms the park was approved for mixed use that same year.
The 700-acre park was originally established in 1978 as the Arvida Park of Commerce, built to support light industrial and corporate operations near IBM's original Boca Raton campus, before being rebranded in 2015, according to 4Boca. Compson is not the only developer moving in on the park's office lots. Butters Group and Malcolm Butters are planning two industrial, office, and storage buildings spanning 71,600 square feet at 1150 Northwest Broken Sound Parkway, a project that won zoning approval in April 2026 and faces a city council vote on October 13, per The Real Deal.
Ram Realty Advisors is separately planning an eight-story, 291-unit multifamily building in the park that would include 10 percent affordable housing units, 5 percent workforce housing, and 2,000 square feet of retail space, the outlet reports. Hoodline has previously covered Ram's transit-oriented tower in Ojus as part of the firm's broader South Florida development push.
Nearby Office Parks Face Similar Pressure
The redevelopment trend extends beyond Broken Sound's borders. Pebb Enterprises and BH Group started construction in August 2026 on a mixed-use development at 6600 North Military Trail, the former Office Depot headquarters site, which spans 29 acres and formerly housed three office buildings, according to The Real Deal. The partners, joined by Related Group, are building an eight-story, 494-unit residential building while renovating the two remaining office structures, backed by an $89.9 million construction loan received in 2025.
Compson itself has a track record in Boca Raton's residential and mixed-use market. The firm broke ground in December 2025 on The Aletto at Sanborn Square, a 140,000-square-foot mixed-use project downtown featuring two Class-A office towers, ground-floor retail, and rooftop dining, according to Compson Associates. The company also developed Tower 155 in 2020, a 12-story, 155-unit luxury condominium near Mizner Park, per The Mastropieri Group.
Just last December, the Boca Raton City Council unanimously approved Meyers Accesso's proposal for a 222-unit, 290,000-square-foot apartment complex next to the Atrium office building at 6111 NW Broken Sound Parkway, an approval that included 23 affordable units and 12 workforce housing units, as reported by The Real Deal. Across Yamato Road, CP Group has been advancing a $1 billion plan to convert the 124-acre Boca Raton Innovation Campus, the former IBM headquarters, into a mixed-use live-work-play district, following zoning updates the city council approved in October 2023, according to Boca Raton News.
Both the Park Tower and Bertani projects at Broken Sound could start construction as soon as summer 2027, The Real Deal reports. Construction and park tower at Broken Sound and Bertani at Broken Sound now head toward further city review this month as officials weigh how much more residential density the aging office park can absorb before its cap is reached.
