The South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) celebrated the groundbreaking of Link at Boca last week, a transformative mixed-use, transit-oriented development (TOD) adjacent to Tri-Rail’s Boca Raton Station.
The project represents a significant milestone in SFRTA’s ongoing efforts to enhance connectivity, activate publicly owned land, and create walkable communities centered around transit, according to the agency.
Developed through a public-private partnership, Link at Boca will rise eight stories and deliver 340 residential units along with approximately 24,000 square feet of lifestyle-oriented retail space.
The development is located directly next to Tri-Rail’s train station, reinforcing its role as a key transportation hub in Palm Beach County.
“This groundbreaking represents what is possible when the public and private sectors work together with a shared vision and a long-term commitment to the communities we serve,” said Palm Beach County Vice Mayor and SFRTA Chair Marci Woodward. “The Link at Boca is a strong example of that partnership in action.”
The residential component will include a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments ranging from approximately 600 to 1,300 square feet. The community is designed to appeal to commuters, professionals, families, and residents seeking convenient access to regional transit.
According to SFRTA officials, a 650-space parking garage will be constructed as part of the development to serve residents, retail visitors, and Tri-Rail riders.
“By integrating development directly with our rail system, we are strengthening the connection between transportation and quality of life, creating places where people can live, work, and play,” added Woodward. “We are proud to be part of this effort and excited about the positive impact it will have for our riders, businesses, and the entire South Florida region.
Strategically located with direct access to I-95 and the El Rio Trail, the project connects transit riders to major employment centers, educational institutions, retail destinations, and recreational amenities.
Its proximity to Florida Atlantic University, the Boca Raton Innovation Campus, and Boca Raton Airport further strengthens the station’s position as a central mobility node in the region, said SFRTA officials.
Construction is expected to take approximately 24 months, bringing new housing, retail, and improved station-area infrastructure to the community.
