New construction in Boca Raton in 2026 runs along three tracks: branded luxury condo towers in the downtown and Via Mizner core, custom waterfront estates rising on East Boca teardown lots, and master-planned single-family communities in West Boca. Pricing spans roughly $500,000 to well past $20 million depending on track and location.
If you are searching for new homes in Boca Raton, the most important thing to understand is that there is no single answer. The city is building in three very different ways at once, and the right one for you depends on whether you want turnkey branded service, a one-of-one custom estate, or a brand-new home inside a gated club community. Below we map the active pipeline by category, with verified projects and honest pricing context. Where a specific project’s status, price, or delivery date is in flux (and in this market, it often is), we tell you to call us for the current numbers rather than guess.
The Quick Take
- Downtown and Via Mizner are seeing the first wave of branded condo towers in over a decade, including The Residences at Mandarin Oriental and Mr. C Residences.
- East Boca’s waterfront market is now defined by teardown-and-rebuild: older homes on prime Intracoastal and ocean-access lots are being replaced with new contemporary estates.
- West Boca’s new-home supply is dominated by GL Homes’ Lotus family of communities (Lotus, Lotus Palm, Lotus Edge), with Toll Brothers’ Royal Palm Polo as the only new single-family estate community inside the city limits.
- Pre-construction inventory often trades before it is publicly listed. Pricing and delivery dates move quarter to quarter, so the published pipeline and the real one are not the same thing.

Most buyers arrive thinking “new construction” means one thing. In Boca Raton it means three. Understanding which track fits your life is the first decision, and it usually narrows the field faster than any price filter. Here is how the categories compare at a high level.
| Track | Where | Home Type | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Branded condo towers | Downtown / Via Mizner / East Boca core | 2–6 bedroom luxury condos and penthouses | ~$1.7M to $20M+ |
| Custom waterfront estates | East Boca (Intracoastal and ocean-access teardown lots) | New contemporary single-family estates | Multi-million, varies widely by lot and frontage |
| Master-planned communities | West Boca (gated) and Central Boca | New single-family homes, builder collections | High $500s to $3M+ depending on community |
A quick note on the prices above: they are drawn from publicly reported ranges as of 2026 and are meant as orientation, not quotes. New-construction pricing in Boca Raton moves with each release, each remaining-inventory phase, and each customization package. For a current, project-specific number, ask us.
Branded Condo Towers: Downtown and Via Mizner
The most visible story in Boca Raton new construction is the arrival of branded, hospitality-driven condominium towers in the downtown and Via Mizner districts. For more than a decade the city’s luxury condo supply was largely limited to established buildings. That has changed, and the new towers pair full-service amenities with a walkable downtown and proximity to The Boca Raton resort.
The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Boca Raton
Developed by Penn-Florida Companies in the heart of Via Mizner, this tower carries the Mandarin Oriental name, making Boca Raton one of a small number of cities worldwide with Mandarin Oriental branded residences. The building consists of roughly 85 condominiums with large floor plans, and residents are positioned to access hotel-grade services. Reported pricing has ranged broadly into the eight figures, and delivery has been tracked across the 2025–2026 window. Because remaining inventory and current pricing shift as the building sells through, treat any number you see online as a starting point and confirm with us.
Mr. C Residences Boca Raton
Described as the city’s first new branded hospitality-driven condo tower in over a decade, Mr. C Residences has been marketed with residences reported from around $1.7 million, with the sales effort led by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing. As with any pre-construction project, the publicly stated launch timing and entry pricing are subject to change, so we recommend verifying status directly before making decisions around it.
Other Downtown Luxury Condo Activity
Beyond the headline branded towers, the downtown core has seen a cluster of boutique and recently completed luxury condominium projects, including buildings such as Glass House, Alina Residences, and Royal Palm Residences, the last of which delivered a small collection of large-format condos and penthouses near Palmetto Park Road and the Intracoastal. The common thread across this wave is boutique scarcity: low unit counts, branded or branded-adjacent service, and a downtown built for buyers who want to lock the door and travel. If a specific building’s availability matters to you, we can tell you what is genuinely on the market versus what has already traded.
Branded Residences Sell Quietly
The best units in towers like Mandarin Oriental and Mr. C often move before broad marketing begins. We can position you for first access and walk you through floor plans, service models, and true net pricing.

On the water in East Boca Raton, new construction looks nothing like a master-planned subdivision. The dominant trend is teardown-and-rebuild: buyers and builders acquire older homes on prime Intracoastal and ocean-access lots, remove them, and construct new contemporary estates in their place. The land is the asset; the new house is the upgrade.
This pattern has produced a steady supply of brand-new waterfront estates in neighborhoods that were effectively built out decades ago. Recent and in-progress examples reported in the market include modern residences with deep-water frontage, direct ocean access with no fixed bridges, and private docks with large boat lifts, as well as architecturally refined estates in communities such as Bel Marra. Some are delivered complete; others are offered far enough ahead of completion to allow select customization.
What New East Boca Estates Typically Offer
Because these homes are built one at a time by different builders, finishes and floor plans vary, but the new generation tends to share a profile: contemporary architecture, open floor plans of roughly 5,000 square feet and up, storm-resilient engineering, technology pre-wiring, and designer-level finishes delivered move-in ready. Waterfront examples emphasize frontage length, water depth, and bridge clearance, the three factors that most affect both lifestyle and resale.
One practical caution: developable waterfront land in East Boca is finite, and the most desirable lots are increasingly scarce. Pricing on these one-of-one estates is highly lot-specific, so there is no clean “per square foot” rule. The right move is to evaluate each opportunity on its own frontage, access, and build quality, which is exactly the kind of side-by-side analysis we do for clients.
West and Central Boca: Master-Planned New Homes
For buyers who want a brand-new single-family home with community amenities, gates, and a clubhouse, the action is in West Boca and, more selectively, Central Boca. Here the supply is driven by large national and regional builders delivering homes by collection rather than one at a time.
GL Homes: The Lotus Communities
GL Homes has anchored West Boca’s new-home supply with its Lotus family of communities. Lotus, located south of the Bridges, has been reported with pricing from the high $500,000s into the $900,000s across roughly 800 homes centered on a large clubhouse. Lotus Palm, on the former Boca Municipal Golf Course site off Glades Road, has been planned for approximately 525 luxury single-family homes. Lotus Edge, west of Lyons Road, began construction in 2024 with hundreds of homes and reported pricing ranging from roughly $1.4 million to over $3 million depending on collection, size, and lot. GL Homes has also signaled additional West Boca neighborhoods in the pipeline near Lyons Road, with construction and sales phased over time.
Royal Palm Polo by Toll Brothers
In Central Boca, Royal Palm Polo by Toll Brothers has been positioned as the only new luxury single-family estate community inside the City of Boca Raton itself, as opposed to the unincorporated West Boca communities. For buyers who specifically want a city-limits address with a new build and an estate-scale home, it occupies a distinct niche.
Across all of these communities, what is actually available is a moving target. Builders release homesites in phases, quick-move-in inventory comes and goes, and the most popular floor plans and lots sell first. The community website rarely reflects the real-time picture, which is where having a team that talks to these sales offices regularly pays off.
How to Buy New Construction Without Getting Burned
New construction carries different risks than resale. Pre-construction condos can shift in price and delivery date. Custom waterfront estates can vary enormously in build quality between builders. And in builder communities, the listed base price is rarely the price you actually pay once lot premiums and design-center upgrades are added. A few principles we apply for clients:
Bring your own representation early. The on-site sales agent at a tower or community represents the developer, not you. Having independent representation from the first visit protects your interests and, in most cases, costs you nothing as a buyer.
Verify status before you fall in love. Many projects you find online are sold out, repriced, or delayed. We confirm what is genuinely available and at what real net price before you invest time and emotion.
Underwrite the lot, not just the house. On waterfront especially, frontage, water depth, and bridge clearance drive long-term value more than finishes that can be changed later.
Frequently Asked Questions
What new luxury condo towers are being built in Boca Raton in 2026?
The most notable branded towers reported in the downtown and Via Mizner area include The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Boca Raton (Penn-Florida) and Mr. C Residences. The downtown core also includes recently completed boutique luxury buildings such as Glass House, Alina Residences, and Royal Palm Residences. Status and pricing on pre-construction towers change frequently, so confirm current availability with us before relying on any published figure.
How much do new construction homes in Boca Raton cost?
It depends heavily on the track. Master-planned single-family homes in West Boca have been reported starting in the high $500,000s and ranging into the millions for larger collections. Branded condos have been reported from roughly $1.7 million up past $20 million. Custom East Boca waterfront estates are multi-million and highly lot-specific. These are orientation ranges, not quotes; ask us for a current, project-specific number.
Why are so many waterfront homes in East Boca being torn down?
The land is the scarce asset. Prime Intracoastal and ocean-access lots in East Boca were largely built out decades ago, so buyers and builders acquire older homes, remove them, and construct new contemporary estates engineered for storm resilience and modern living. This teardown-and-rebuild trend is now the primary source of brand-new waterfront homes in the area.
Are there new single-family home communities in Boca Raton?
Yes. GL Homes has driven West Boca’s supply with its Lotus communities (Lotus, Lotus Palm, and Lotus Edge), with additional neighborhoods signaled in the pipeline. In Central Boca, Royal Palm Polo by Toll Brothers has been positioned as the only new luxury single-family estate community inside the City of Boca Raton limits. Availability is released in phases, so the live inventory shifts often.
What is the difference between West Boca and city-of-Boca new homes?
Many of the large gated communities marketed as “Boca Raton” are in unincorporated West Boca rather than the incorporated City of Boca Raton. The distinction can affect address, taxes, services, and resale positioning. Royal Palm Polo is notable specifically because it sits inside the city limits. We can clarify exactly which jurisdiction any given community falls in.
Should I use my own agent to buy new construction?
Yes. The on-site representative at a condo tower or builder community works for the developer, not for you. Bringing independent representation from your first visit protects your interests during contract, design selections, and inspections, and in most cases does not cost you anything as a buyer. The key is registering your representation on the first visit.
Can I still customize a new construction home in Boca Raton?
Often, yes, but it depends on timing. Builder-community homes offer design-center selections that vary by how far along construction is. Some pre-completion waterfront estates are offered early enough to allow select customization. Branded condos may offer interior options during earlier sales phases. The earlier you engage, the more choice you generally have.
How do I find new construction that is not publicly listed yet?
A meaningful share of new-development inventory, particularly in branded towers and on waterfront teardown lots, trades through relationships before broad marketing. The most reliable way to see it is to work with a team that is in regular contact with developers, builders, and the local listing community. That is precisely the access The Koolik Group provides.
