BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The City of Boca Raton’s government center is staying where it is — but will be updated in what officials are calling a “once in a generation” update and upgrade. Scroll to the end if you’d like to download the complete proposal that is a very early look at what the project may look like. Here is the official announcement form the City of Boca Raton:
>>The City of Boca Raton is moving forward with a transformative long-term vision for its Government Campus through a partnership with Boca Raton City Center, LLC, a joint venture between the Miami-based Terra and Palm Beach-based Frisbie Group (Terra & Frisbie Group). This exciting initiative, which has been years in the making, builds on strategic planning efforts to redevelop the campus into a vibrant civic and community hub. The Boca Raton City Council made the unanimous decision during its February 11 meeting, marking a significant milestone in the process to modernize and revitalize the campus, ensuring that public facilities evolve to meet the needs of the community and enhance the efficiency of City services.
“Boca Raton’s future is brighter than ever,” said Mayor Scott Singer. “This project is more than just a redevelopment—it’s about creating a civic center that better serves our community, provides opportunities for employment and business, and transforms the town square into a destination where residents want to be.”
The selection of Terra & Frisbie Group for this public-private partnership (P3) follows an extensive competitive process aimed at identifying the most qualified team to revitalize the Government Campus. The downtown Boca Raton area currently houses City Hall, the police station, a community center, a tennis center and more. In addition to updating government facilities, the mixed-use proposal features enhanced green spaces, community-focused amenities, residential units, a hotel, office and retail space, all designed to enhance the downtown experience. The initiative also aims to capitalize on the proximity to the Brightline Station, providing for improved connectivity and mobility in the City, and for those traveling to and from Boca Raton.
“We are honored to have been unanimously chosen by the Boca Raton City Council to lead the Government Campus Redevelopment,” said Terra CEO David Martin. “Our team is committed to transforming this space into a vibrant, eco-friendly district that blends civic, residential, and commercial uses. We look forward to collaborating closely with city officials and the community to bring our shared vision to life, creating a sustainable and connected neighborhood that will serve as a model for future urban development.”
“Boca Raton is an exceptional community that deserves the best,” said Cody Crowell of Frisbie Group. Rob Frisbie, Jr. continued, “We’re committed to listening to residents, businesses, and city leaders to ensure we create an exciting project that will enhance the quality of life for all.”
Building on input already gathered from the community, public engagement will continue to be a key component of this initiative, with multiple ways to continue to participate, including attending Council meetings, submitting comments via the Government Campus Feedback Form, learning more on the City’s website and signing up for project alerts. The community is also invited to attend an upcoming Open House on the proposed plan, where they can view renderings, meet Terra Frisbie & Group team members, and share their ideas.

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine Boca Raton’s Government Center as a vibrant, welcoming place that serves our residents and strengthens our community,” said City Manager, George S. Brown. “Through our partnership with Terra & Frisbie Group, we are excited to bring this vision to life.”
Next steps for the project include the following phases:
- Interim Agreement – City staff will work with Terra & Frisbie Group to execute a short-term agreement by March 18, 2025.
- Comprehensive Agreement – Following the interim agreement, the City and Terra & Frisbie Group will negotiate a full agreement. This process will take time, and there will be significant opportunities for public information and input throughout.
- Project Advancement – Once the comprehensive agreement is finalized, the project will move into the next phase, including detailed design, permitting, and construction. The City will continue to provide ongoing updates to ensure transparency and public engagement.
Discussions about revitalizing the Government Campus began in 2017 and have been a key component of the City’s strategic planning to redevelop the area. To support this initiative, the City partnered with CBRE, Inc., a firm with extensive experience in managing P3s, who continues to provide guidance throughout the process.<<
