Mill Creek Announces Groundbreaking of Modera Downtown Boca

Contemporary High-Rise Community to Add 306 Homes to the Heart of Boca Raton

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mill Creek Residential, a leading developer, owner-operator and investment manager specializing in premier rental housing across the U.S., today announced it has broken ground on Modera Downtown Boca, a contemporary high-rise community in fast-growing Palm Beach County.

Modera Downtown Boca, which will feature 306 homes, is situated in the heart of Downtown Boca Raton, five blocks south of Palmetto Road. The community features a Walk Score of 91—considered a "walker's paradise"—surrounded by an array of high-end shopping, dining and entertainment options, including those in the highly desirable Mizner Park and Royal Palm Plaza. First move-ins are anticipated for spring 2028.

"We're eager to get started on Modera Downtown Boca, which we believe will serve as a genuinely unique option for an upscale living experience," said John Grimaldi, vice president of development in South Florida for Mill Creek Residential. "As one of the few new builds in the surrounding area, the community will offer the top-of-the-line finishes and a suite of amenities not often available in the area. We look forward to joining the neighborhood and becoming a top choice for renters."

Situated at 400 S. Dixie Highway, Modera Downtown Boca sits just west of Federal Highway (U.S. Route 1) and a short drive from key north-south thoroughfare Interstate 95. The community is within six blocks of the Brightline Boca Raton Station, which opened in 2022, and within a five-mile commute of three of the area's top-performing hospitals. Boca Raton is flanked by five miles of beaches to the east and the Everglades to the west, which will provide residents with a wide variety of recreational outlets.

Modera Downtown Boca will offer studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom homes with select den layouts and top-floor penthouses and townhomes. Community amenities will consist of an outdoor swimming pool, rooftop terrace with grilling and dining areas, demonstration kitchen, sauna and steam room, resident clubroom with pool table and foosball, landscaped courtyards, pet park, dog run, pet spa and a club-quality fitness center with cardio equipment, personal training and a yoga/Pilates studio. The community will also offer controlled-access garage parking with EV-charging stations, bike storage and repair station, digital package lockers, cold storage, additional storage space and controlled-access guest technology.

Homes will feature nine-foot ceilings, oversized windows, wood-style plank flooring, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, pull-down faucets, tile backsplashes, kitchen islands with storage, pendant lighting, built-in desks and shelving, in-home washers and dryers, oversized bedrooms with spacious closets, smart thermostats, keyless entry, smart leak detection and private patios or balconies. Designer bathrooms will feature Roman-style soaking tubs, tile shower surrounds, double vanities, custom soft-close cabinetry and linen closets. The community will be built to, and is pursuing, an NGBS Silver Certification.
