Boca Raton Votes Today on One Boca Downtown Redevelopment

The vote will determine if the city grants a 99-year lease for an eight-acre mixed-use redevelopment of the government campus.

Overview

  • Question Two would authorize a long-term ground lease with Terra‑Frisbie Group to advance the One Boca plan, and a no vote would halt the proposal.
  • The project outlines hundreds of residential units, retail and office space, and a hotel near the Brightline station, plus a new City Hall, community center, police substation and an enhanced Memorial Park.
  • Backers including the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce cite replacement of aging civic buildings and forecast billions of dollars in economic impact.
  • Opponents organized as Save Boca say public land should remain public and raise concerns about traffic, density, building height and green space; their prior referendum attempt was struck down by a judge last year.
  • Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with mayor and council elections also on the ballot along with a separate $175 million bond for a new police headquarters.
