Boca Raton’s commercial corridors have earned a reputation for polish, and a 70,000 square foot office and medical commercial building fits comfortably within that standard. With zoning already in place for the intended use, the project moved through the City of Boca Raton’s standard site plan review rather than a rezoning process, though that didn’t make the details any less important.
Boca Raton’s design expectations tend to run higher than many neighboring markets, and a site plan review here often involves close attention to architectural character, landscaping, and how a new building presents itself along a well traveled corridor. For a project combining office and medical uses, parking ratios and access also needed particular care, given the higher visitor volume medical tenants typically bring.
JDJ Consulting supported the site plan submittal by keeping the design and functional requirements aligned with the city’s expectations from the outset, which helped the review move efficiently despite Boca Raton’s typically thorough process. The completed building now adds a well appointed piece of commercial space to a corridor that continues to attract both office and healthcare tenants. It stands as a good example of how a project with the right zoning in hand can still benefit from a carefully managed process, arriving at a result that fits seamlessly into one of Palm Beach County’s most polished commercial districts.
