According to Florida YIMBY, North American Development Group (NADG), a West Palm Beach-based developer, has broken ground on Nuvo Midtown Boca at 1850 N. Military Trail in Boca Raton. The 6-story project will include 294 apartments, with approximately 44 units (15%) designated as workforce housing for households earning up to 120% of area median income.
NADG secured a $105.47 million construction loan to fund the project. The developer purchased the 6.79-acre site for $21.17 million in late 2025. Moss & Associates is serving as general contractor, with Bizi Arq as architect.
What is being built?
Unit count and structure: 294 apartments across 6 stories, with a 5-story parking garage.
Workforce housing: Approximately 44 units (15%) designated for households earning up to 120% of AMI. Florida YIMBY notes this differs from standard Live Local Act requirements, which typically require at least 40% affordable units for qualifying zoning incentives. Local Boca Raton regulations allowed an exception in this case.
Amenities: Swimming pool and deck, pickleball court, and rooftop dining terrace.
As Larry Mastropieri explained on the Discover South Florida Podcast: "The amenity package has the swimming pool, deck, rooftop dining terrace, pickleball, and a five-story parking garage. That is what these newer apartment communities are doing now. They are not just building units; they are building a lifestyle package."
Why does this location matter?
Boca Raton has long been associated with gated communities and manicured single-family neighborhoods. But the Military Trail corridor is telling a different story. The area has become increasingly active for multifamily development, driven by proximity to major employers (ADT, G4S, major healthcare systems), Florida Atlantic University, and the Boca Town Center retail hub.
Mastropieri noted the university factor: "A lot of those universities do not have enough housing on campus. That creates demand for nearby apartments, especially in a location like this. Nuvo Midtown Boca could easily help absorb some of that demand."
The project joins other mixed-use developments in Boca Raton that are reshaping the city's rental inventory. As South Florida's apartment market continues to expand, corridors like Military Trail are absorbing much of the new supply.

How does this compare to other projects?
Nuvo Midtown Boca is part of a broader wave of multifamily construction across Palm Beach County. Comparable projects in the area include:
Parks at Delray (Skye Phase 2): 327 units on S. Congress Avenue in Delray Beach, developed by 13th Floor, Key International, CDS, and Wexford. Topped out in May 2026 with delivery expected in 2027.
Alexan Delray: 267 market-rate units at 1155 S. Congress Avenue in Delray Beach, developed by Trammell Crow Residential. Opening Summer 2026.
The Military Trail location positions Nuvo Midtown Boca between the established residential neighborhoods of west Boca and the commercial activity along I-95. For renters seeking proximity to both employment centers and retail without beachside pricing, this corridor offers a middle-ground option.
What does this mean for Boca Raton real estate?
Rental inventory: The 294 new units will add to Boca Raton's rental supply, potentially easing pressure on existing inventory. The workforce housing component addresses a segment of the market often underserved by new construction.
Corridor development: Military Trail's transformation from a commercial strip to a mixed-use corridor continues. Projects like Nuvo Midtown Boca signal that developers see long-term demand in this area.
Lifestyle-driven product: The amenity package (pool, pickleball, rooftop dining) reflects a broader shift in what renters expect. Developers are competing not just on price and location but on lifestyle offerings.
