Discover what the Center will offer the community.
This Center will offer a vibrant, functional, flexible and forward-looking home for artists, businesses, students, creative entrepreneurs, and the public overall that is unmatched in the region. It will immediately benefit and upgrade Mizner Park’s 3,500-seat amphitheater and will provide new world-class venues for performances and open-air public space that will attract families, athletes, community groups, tourists, and more. The Center for Arts & Innovation is a Center for us All.
Understand when and how long the project will take.
With the official signing of the 94-year ground lease scheduled for mid-October 2022, the focus will shift to raising the capital and recommencing design and planning efforts. Upon the full raising of the capital and completion of the design, planning, permitting and pre-construction phases, construction will begin, with an estimated 24 to 36-month construction schedule. Although the entire project is projected to break ground simultaneously in 2025 – the City of Boca Raton’s centenary year – the Center will thrive to turn over the newly-improved Amphitheater first with the full Center opening in late 2027, early 2028. What a tremendous opportunity to celebrate the last 100 years as we look ahead to the next 100 with next-century culture infrastructure.
See where the new Center will be built.
Located in the heart of downtown Boca Raton, this Center will provide a new beacon of iconic cultural infrastructure here along the Gold Coast, filling the gap that has long existed between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. The proposed site (590 Plaza Real; Boca Raton, FL 33432) is set at the north end of Mizner Park and includes the existing amphitheater and the raw parcel that is already zoned for cultural usage and has remained undeveloped for over three decades. The proposed Center will finally bring to fruition Mizner Park’s founding promise to serve as Boca Raton’s cultural core, while driving much needed foot traffic through Mizner Park and giving riders of Brightline an exciting reason to stop in Boca.
There are many reasons why this project is important.
This project will:
- Fulfill the original promise to the residents of Boca Raton
- Provide a vibrant home for world-class performances
- Provide an accessible, enjoyable place for our community to gather
- Drive much needed foot traffic through Mizner and Downtown Boca Raton
- Spur economic relief and major impact into the City
- Provide a space for local cultural organizations
- Ensure Boca Raton is seen as a beacon of arts and culture
We sincerely appreciate the support of our Founders, as they have been instrumental in the launch of this project.
