The developers of Uptown Boca, Boca Raton’s first new retail and Class-A multifamily project to open in West Boca Raton in over 20 years, have sold The Residences at Uptown Boca to the Atlanta-based multifamily real estate investment, development and management company, Cortland for $230 million. The project was developed by Giles Capital Group, Rosemurgy Properties and Schmier Property Group, in partnership with Wheelock Street Capital. This transaction marks Florida’s largest multifamily deal in 2021 and the highest price per square foot for a garden-style product in Florida, to date. Cushman & Wakefield’s South Florida Multifamily Institutional Properties Group, led by Robert Given, Zach Sackley, Troy Ballard and Neal Victor, brokered the transaction.

“As lifelong Boca Raton residents and local developers, it has been truly special to create such a unique project for our local community. Our team devoted countless hours and meticulous attention to detail in developing what we consider to be one of South Florida’s premier mixed-use communities,” said Alex Rosemurgy, CEO of Rosemurgy Properties. “The Residences at Uptown Boca provides an unparalleled living experience that includes best-in-class amenities and a carefully curated restaurant and retail component just steps from our residents’ front door. Our lease-up success represents the distinct quality of the project in the South Florida market.”

The Residences at Uptown Boca, which opened in 2020, is a seven-building multifamily development managed by Park Partners Residential. Offering 456 Class-A luxury rental apartments, the development features one, two, three and four-bedroom units ranging in size from 718 SF to 1,737 SF. Just steps from The Residences, Uptown Boca’s retail component provides 179,000 SF of shops and fifteen different dining retailers. The developers of the project will remain the owners of the retail component of Uptown Boca.

"We have experienced incredible leasing performance as demand for high quality apartments in south Florida has never been higher. Our leasing team did a phenomenal job in getting the property leased up in record time, and as a result the Uptown Boca ownership team determined that this is the right time to sell," said Rick Giles, president of Giles Capital Group. "We have made every effort to create great experiences for our residential and retail customers, and we wish continued success to the new owners of this unique development."

Located at 9560 Glades Road on the corner of Glades Road and 95th Avenue South, just east of US441/SR7, Uptown Boca is a 38-acre project bringing a curated “shop, dine, live” experience to the area. The development provides residents with walkability to dining, entertainment and living options all within one vibrant local destination.

“The sale of The Residences of Uptown Boca culminates years of planning and execution by our partners Giles Capital, Rosemurgy Properties and Schmier Property Group. We are extremely proud of the community they have developed and the results for our investors,” said Hunter Jones, Principal for Wheelock Street Capital.

The Residences at Uptown Boca offers a number of amenities including a 24-hour fitness center with TRX and an indoor/outdoor CrossFit area, a yoga, spin and stretching room, a 24-hour business center that includes 3 private conference rooms, and 24-hour package pick-up lockers and cold storage. The project also includes a resident theater and entertaining lounge, a kids’ gaming and activity area, rideshare pick-up lounge, 3 dog parks, as well as a soccer field and customized 9,570 SF playground.
