The central hub of Boca Raton is located around the intersections of
I-95 and Palmetto Park Road, Glades Road and Yamato Road, and this central
residential section refers to the area generally between I-95 and the
Florida Turnpike.
Commercial and research and development parks hug either side of I-95
as it curves its way through Boca Raton. Florida Atlantic University,
Town Center Mall and several office parks, plus the Boca Raton Executive
Airport center around the Glades Road interchange. The Arvida Park of
Commerce, Blue Lake Corporate Center (former IBM complex), plus several
other industrial parks center around the Yamato Road interchange.
Boca Raton's inland communities are in great demand,
especially with the city at buildout and very little
vacant land available for new construction. This area
saw the advent of master planned communities of substantial
acreage and a broad range of housing styles going
back to the days when Arthur Vining Davis (Arvida
Corp.) and Texaco Oil bought up hundreds of acres
of land. Texaco originally owned the land south of
Glades Road known today as Boca del Mar, Boca Pointe
and Boca Grove Plantation
(pictured). The tracts were each sold to different
developers and builders with construction generally
starting in the late 1970's / early 1980's.
