Commercial Build-Outs in Boca Raton
About 30 minutes from our Fort Lauderdale base. Boca Raton Innovation Campus is the former IBM plant where the original IBM PC was developed, and re-cutting those 1970s research floorplates is a completely different job from a Town Center retail suite five minutes away.

What we are building in
The commercial stock in Boca Raton
Two very different inventories. The Innovation Campus is the former IBM plant where the original IBM PC was developed — vast 1970s research floorplates now being re-cut for modern tenants. Mizner Park and Town Center are upscale retail and restaurant on entirely different terms.
The authority having jurisdiction
Permitting and review here
The City of Boca Raton, with downtown development governed by its own design standards and review. Boca has long applied stricter design and signage control than its neighbours, so treating a facade change here as routine is a scheduling mistake rather than a cost one.
What the ground and the structure do
Site and building conditions in Boca Raton
The Innovation Campus floorplates are unusually deep, with structural bays and mechanical infrastructure designed for a use that no longer exists. Re-cutting them is a daylighting and mechanical distribution problem as much as a partition problem, and the answer is decided at layout, not at finishes.
Logistics
Access, loading and working hours
The corporate corridor along Yamato and Glades is drive-up with genuine laydown space. Mizner Park and Town Center operate on centre rules with restricted hours and finished common areas that have to be protected on every trip.
The case
Why owners in Boca Raton call us
We build in buildings that are still open
Most commercial work here is not an empty shell. It is a floor above a working tenant, a suite next to a trading desk, or a dining room that has to serve on Friday. We phase, we work the hours the landlord allows, and we protect the path from the dock to your door.
A budget before you sign the lease
Send us the space and the landlord work letter before the LOI is final. We will price the build-out and name the assumptions, so you negotiate the tenant improvement allowance knowing the real number instead of finding it after you are committed.
Self-perform site engineering
Dewatering, support of excavation and deep foundations — including tidal sites — are done by our own crews, not brokered out. Very few Florida general contractors can say that. When a build-out turns into a structural or below-grade problem, it does not become somebody else’s schedule.
An institutional record behind the field team
Our leadership has delivered Hospital for Special Surgery’s FDR expansion, Emigrant Savings Bank fit-outs, the ADL tenant renovation in New York, and deep foundations at 1515 Surf Avenue. That is leadership experience, not a Romco Builders project list — and we will always say which is which.

FAQ
Questions from Boca Raton
- Do you take commercial work in Boca Raton?
- Yes. About 30 minutes from our Fort Lauderdale base. The City of Boca Raton, with downtown development governed by its own design standards and review. Boca has long applied stricter design and signage control than its neighbours, so treating a facade change here as routine is a scheduling mistake rather than a cost one.
- What makes the Innovation Campus floorplates hard to fit out?
- Depth and legacy infrastructure. They were designed as research and manufacturing space, so the distance from the core to daylight and the existing mechanical distribution both fight a conventional office layout. That gets resolved at test-fit stage, well before finishes are discussed.
- Is Boca stricter on exteriors than the rest of Palm Beach County?
- In our experience yes, particularly downtown, where design standards and signage control are applied more tightly than in neighbouring cities. We treat the exterior package as its own approval path with its own duration rather than as part of the building permit.
- Do you charge to look at a space and give us a number?
- No. A walk-through and an order-of-magnitude budget on a Boca Raton space you are considering costs you nothing — that conversation should not have an invoice attached. A full preconstruction engagement, with a line-item budget, a constructability log and a permitting map, is a priced scope of work, and we credit the fee against the construction contract if you build with us.
- Can you work around the hours our business actually operates?
- Yes, and in Boca Raton it is usually the only way the job gets done. Phased construction, off-hours demolition, temporary partitions and a maintained path of egress are normal parts of our scope. Off-hours premiums are shown as their own line so you can see exactly what the phasing costs.
