Tower 155 Luxury Condominiums in Downtown Boca Raton

The Downtown Boca Raton new construction craze continues with the latest project being Tower One Fifty Five. This condominium building, by Compson Associates Inc., is a twelve story building to be located on a 1.2 acre site on the 100 block of East Boca Raton Road.  These 1, 2, and 3 bedroom condos will vary in size from 743 to 2,475 square feet, and are predicted to be moderately to luxury priced between $450,000 and $2,000,000, averaging at around 500 per square foot.  There will be four (4) duplex-style 2-story penthouse units with soaring ceilings and expansive terraces offering views of the Atlantic Ocean, Downtown Boca, and the Boca Resort & Club golf course.  In addition, several townhomes will line the exterior on the south side of the building, providing private yards to those few residents.  Tower 155's condominium maintenance fees will be approximately 52 cents per square foot and will include insurance on the building, as well as resort-style amenities such as 24-hour security, valet parking, concierge services, under-building parking garage, two swimming pools, a fitness center, and more.

Tower 155 originally was proposed with 209 units, and then dropped to 192 units, then to 170 units, and finally(?) at 150 units. Fewer units will mean fewer residents, and thus less traffic, which was the main concern to begin with. Since the developers could have built an office project, which would have generated far more traffic, Tower One Fifty-Five won’t create a backup of cars on East Boca Raton Road. In fact, the project will have more parking spaces than required.
