Mizner Park has new owners, a Boca Raton rental project has a fresh financing headline, and two development decisions are on tomorrow's county agendas. Here are six stories I'm following from the Parkland area to Palm Beach, plus a couple of ideas for your November calendar.
1. Mizner Park changes hands in downtown Boca Raton
CP Group, The Georgetown Company and ACRE, with investment partner StepStone, have acquired Mizner Park. Transaction counsel Latham & Watkins confirmed the deal on November 6, and the buyers' announcement followed on November 9. The mixed-use property includes offices, shops and apartments, with the new ownership planning a long-term refresh.
For people who live in or are considering downtown Boca, this is one to watch. Mizner Park is part of everyday life here, from dinner and shopping to meeting friends. Specific improvements and timing will matter more than the ownership change alone.

2. Related's Boca rental project draws a $176.5 million financing report
Connect CRE reported today that Related Group has obtained $176.5 million in financing for its Broken Sound Residences apartment project at the former ODP headquarters campus, at 6600 North Military Trail. The report describes a range of rental homes, including an ultra-luxury component, and amenities such as pools, coworking space and a fitness center.
This is relevant for anyone comparing a purchase with a higher-end rental in central Boca. Financing is a meaningful project milestone, but it does not establish an opening date, available floor plans or final rents.

3. Heron Bay's recreation proposal is on Tuesday's agenda
Broward County's November 10 agenda includes a proposed amendment to the Heron Bay One plat. The change would permit up to 100,000 square feet of recreational community-center use on Parcel A-7. The site is in Coral Springs, on the north side of Heron Bay Boulevard near the Parkland border.
The county staff recommends approval with conditions. As of this edition, the vote has not taken place. For nearby homeowners, the useful next details will be the commission's decision and the project's access, traffic and construction plans.

4. West Palm Beach's second convention hotel returns for review
Palm Beach County commissioners are scheduled to reconsider and readopt the convention-hotel transaction on November 10. The project calls for an 18-story, 400-room hotel at 940 South Rosemary Avenue. The package includes a $26 million county acquisition of the completed hotel and land, with construction deposits and a long-term leaseback for private operation.
This revisits agreements approved September 29 and executed October 1; it is not the hotel's first approval or an opening announcement. Additional convention lodging could bring more visitors to downtown restaurants and shops. The next step is the county's action on the revised package.

5. BiCE's centennial brings a November celebration to Worth Avenue
The BiCE restaurant group celebrates 100 years this November. At BiCE Palm Beach, 313 Worth Avenue, its “100 Days of Grazie” promotion runs through January 8, 2027. The restaurant says one table is chosen at random from each evening's reservations to receive a $100 gift card.
If you're planning dinner on the island this season, it's a timely reason to revisit a Worth Avenue favorite. The anniversary belongs to the restaurant group, which began in Milan in 1926, rather than the Palm Beach location.

6. A final weekend of Neil Simon at Boca's Willow Theatre
Curtain Call Playhouse's Last of the Red Hot Lovers finishes its Willow Theatre run November 13–15. The City of Boca Raton lists Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 1 and 7 p.m., and Sunday at 1 p.m. Standard tickets are $25, with group and season-ticket rates also listed.
It's a local option for an adult theater outing at Sugar Sand Park. The city rates the production R, and ticket availability can change, so check the box office before planning your evening.
