BOCA RATON, FLA. — Giles Capital Group, Rosemurgy Properties, Schmier Property Group and Wheelock Street Capital have acquired 38 acres at the intersection of Glades Road and 95th Avenue South in Boca Raton for a $200 million mixed-use project.
Dubbed Uptown Boca Raton, the 1.1 million-square-foot, pedestrian-friendly project will feature 150,591 square feet of retail space and 456 apartment units. Lucky’s Market and Silverspot Cinema will anchor the development, which will also house tenants such as Chick-fil-A and BankUnited. Katz & Associates is handling the project’s leasing assignment.
