Mizner Trail Golf Course Still In Limbo

Mizner Trail Golf Course back On The Market For Sale

Another year passed by and construction crews have yet to start work on the defunct Mizner Trail Golf Course. Close to Boca Raton, this 130-acre space has yet to see any new building or even landscaping. The fairways and putting greens are still an eyesore after Developers had the green light to move forward with their plans one year ago. The area remains untouched.

Neighborhood groups banded together to oppose the development. But they failed to appeal the final decision in February. The plan for new construction was set to move forward, but after ten years of overgrown brush residents are not holding their breath. Once a great attraction for home buyers in this desirable Boca Del Mar community,…

Update on Mizner Trail Golf Course Development

Upping the ante on Mizner Trail

In November, there was news of a proposed settlement of the lawsuit resulting from Palm Beach County’s approval last June of development on the old Mizner Trail Golf Course. I can report that in December there was a second offer.

The main plaintiff in the lawsuit, which argues that the county’s approval is illegal, is the Boca Del Mar Improvement Association. It’s the umbrella group for all the homeowner associations in Boca Del Mar, between Camino Real and Southwest 18th Street west of Military Trail. Mizner Trail is one of two golf courses in Boca Del Mar, which was developed 40 years ago. The other plaintiffs are a small number of residents.

New proposal would add to Boca Raton's downtown skyline

A downtown Boca Raton residential complex that languished for 10 years in the planning stages has been revived -- now with bigger proportions.

Royal Palm Place was approved in 2003 as a 149-unit, downtown apartment complex, part of the mixed-use development on Federal Highway. It received several extensions on its approval until time ran out in March.

But now, one of Boca's biggest landowners, Investments Limited, is bringing Royal Palm Place back to life. And now it's 200 units, instead of 149, and 13 stories high, instead of 10. It will also reach at least 40 feet higher the city's official 100-foot limit.

"The Royal Palm proposal is a sign of the times as there is robust demand for downtown units," said Glenn Gromann, chairman of the Downtown…
