Plescia Construction & Development is a commercial general contractor and construction management firm building in Boca Raton — one of South Florida’s premier corporate and lifestyle markets. From the Class A office corridors and the Boca Raton Innovation Campus to Mizner Park, Florida Atlantic University, and the city’s luxury retail and resort scene, we build to the standard this affluent Palm Beach County city demands.
Commercial Construction in Boca Raton
Boca Raton blends a serious corporate base with an upscale lifestyle market. The city is one of the largest office hubs in South Florida — anchored by the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (the birthplace of the IBM PC) and corridors full of corporate headquarters and professional firms; Mizner Park and downtown carry an upscale retail, dining, and cultural market; Florida Atlantic University and the city’s hospitals anchor education and healthcare; and the Boca Raton resort and Town Center define a luxury hospitality and retail scene. Each of these asks something specific from a contractor, and we build to it.
Our Boca Raton work spans the full range of commercial space:
- Office and corporate — Class A office, corporate headquarters, and tenant improvements across the city’s office parks and the Innovation Campus.
- Retail, restaurant, and mixed-use — upscale retail and dining at Mizner Park, Town Center, and downtown.
- Healthcare and medical office — exam suites, imaging, and ambulatory space serving Boca Raton Regional Hospital and the city’s providers.
- Education and institutional — academic and institutional space serving Florida Atlantic University and the region.
- Hospitality and luxury — hotel, resort, and high-end commercial work befitting the Boca market.
Neighborhoods We Serve
We work throughout Boca Raton — downtown and Mizner Park, the office corridors along Yamato Road and the Innovation Campus, the Town Center area, the FAU campus, and east Boca toward the coast. Every project runs through the City of Boca Raton building department.
Permitting and Code in Boca Raton
Boca Raton sits at the southern edge of Palm Beach County, just north of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — so while it isn’t in the HVHZ, it is a high-wind region under the Florida Building Code, and its coastal and low-lying areas bring real flood exposure. Building here means designing to strong wind and flood standards and working through the City of Boca Raton, which is known for its careful design and zoning review.
Several requirements shape commercial work here:
- High-wind design — the Florida Building Code’s high wind-load and wind-borne-debris requirements govern glazing, roofing, and envelope, though Boca Raton is outside the HVHZ.
- Coastal and stormwater flood — east Boca and low-lying areas bring FEMA flood-zone, base flood elevation, and stormwater requirements.
- City design and zoning review — Boca Raton’s design standards and zoning review shape commercial projects, particularly downtown and along the corridors.
- Milestone recertification — Florida’s milestone inspection program drives structural review and repairs on older buildings.
Designing for wind and flood, and planning for the city’s review, is what keeps a Boca Raton project on schedule.
How We Manage Risk on Boca Raton Projects
From a corporate office build-out to a Mizner Park restaurant, the same discipline applies: build to Florida’s wind and flood requirements, plan the logistics realistically, protect the businesses and tenants around the work, and keep life-safety systems live throughout. We coordinate deliveries, phasing, and inspections with owners, tenants, and the City of Boca Raton, and we carry the insurance limits and trade relationships that Boca Raton ownership expects.
Every job runs through a single point of accountability. Owners, tenants, the building department, and the design team work through one team that owns the schedule, the budget, and the safety plan — not a chain of subcontractors pointing at each other.
Representative Commercial Work
Plescia’s portfolio spans office, retail, healthcare, and hospitality work of the kind Boca Raton demands. While every market has its own specifics, the discipline is the same one we bring to projects across our Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Texas markets: realistic schedules, transparent budgets, and a finished space that performs. We’re glad to walk prospective Boca Raton clients through relevant past work during an initial conversation.
